THIS WEEKS SHOWS
Only Two Engage
ments For Worces.
ter Theatre.
FRANCIS WILSON RETURNS.
A Week of Laughter at
Pleasant Street House
The Parks Bill.

The Worcester theatre will be dark
all but two nights this week, in order
TO get over the effects of prince Ra-
mon"
But the two light nights will be
worth remembering On THANKSGIVING
afternoon and evening Toll Gate Inn, 2"
a beattiful story of colonial life, will
be presented
Toll Gate Inn" is love romance
and tells the story of Vermont folks in
it is action; a comedy because it effer-
vesces. with the homely wit of those
rural people, and it is human nature
because it is life transplanted to the
stage. To the American heart and
mind no story is so near and so dear
as the story of the early settlers, those
rugged heroes, who fought for and
won independence. 1t is not all patri-
otism, not all heroics, not all warfare,
not all puritanism it is a plain story,
plainly told, of plain folks with noble
thoughts, capable of noble deeds and
all inspired by the one all pervading
theme of liberty.
For the presentation of this dramatic
story, Manager Malley has secured
splendid cast, Miss Silvia Bidwell. AL
len Davenport, John B. Weeks Miss
Frances Whitehouse and David Muir
ray are the principal members of the
company, The scenic environments
are all from sketches and photographs
of the scenes they represent, so that in
this respect Toll Gate Inn" is a YER
liable reproduction of Maple valley in
Vermont. The newspapers of Roches-
ter, Syracuse. Utica and Albany, in
which cities the play has recently been
produced, speak in the highest terms
of the production. 1t has scored such
big hit that it is to go into the Four
teenth Street theatre, New York,
shortly, for long run. The sale of
seats begins Tuesday morning at 8
O'Clock.
On Friday evening Francis Wilson
will make his appearance in "Cyrano
de Bergerac." 1t is hardly necessary
TO say anything else, for his name is
known wherever there are theatres in
this country, as the embodiment of
fun He is remembered here from last
years success in THE Musketeers"
and he is said to be as dashing a
Cyrano as he was a DArtagnan. The
Rochester Herald liked him in this
new production and said so in these
words: Wilson was there, and when
ever he appears professionally there is
bound to be amusement and to spare.
Now, as he has been for years by all
odds the leading comedian of the
American stage, Wilson brought out all
that was good in the creation of Victor
Herbert and Harry B. Smith as no
other man could have done it. His
comicalities are always graceful, and
his side lines, many OF which are no
int
jected on the spur of the moment, are
invariably pointed and happily placed"
The company he brings with him this
season will contain some of the best
known people in comic opera. 1t is
promised that the production will be
given in just the same manner as in
the largest cities, and Mr.. Wilson
never goes back on his promises. Seats
will be on sale Wednesday morning.

NO CHANGE
In Strike. Situation at
Barberton. .
Reported That Men Would be Brought
Here From the East:

i There have been no new develop
ments in the strike of the Stirling
Boiler company employees today.
= The superintendent says that be
has been visited by no committees,
and that everything is quiet.
Situation Thursday Evening.
Barbe1ton was quiet as usual
Thursday night. The strike of the
Stirling Boiler company employees
was not manifest by an extraordi-
nary movement on the part of the
men, the best of order prevailing.
1t was rumored during the after
noon that an Erie train would ar
rive in the evening with 50 new
| boiler-makers on board. A large
crowd of strikers congregated at the
station to receive the newcomers,
but they didn't arrive. 1t is surmised
that if they are brought in, the ar
rival will be at night.
Supt. James P. Sheldon, of the
company, was seen at his Office by a
reporter for the DEMOCRAT Thursday
evening. He was not inclined to dis
cuss the situation, claiming to be
wholly ignorant of the cause of the
strike. He intimated that the plant
was rushed with orders at present,
and strike could be i'll afforded.
Really, I have not arranged my
plan, and if had, why, of course it
wouldn't be policy for me to speak of
it. 1 have never said word rela-
tive to importing men, and I have
made no statement of what surmise
to be the cause of the strike. -
The strikers appointed committee
to confer with the officials of the
company. The chairman of the
committee on Thursday evening
would say nothing for publication.
The conference may be held soon.
Left Together.
Delegates from Barberton to the
Akron G. L. Z. wish to correct the
impression that matters indicating a
strike at the Stirling Boiler COM
pany's plant was talked of several
nights ago at a meeting of the G. L.
U. They say this impression is er-
roneous; that the men all left the
works together, and furthermore
that no mention was made of the
strike grievance until a short time
before the strike was on.

THE CRUISER RALEIGH.

The Raleigh, the staunch and gal
liant little cruiser named after our
capital city, is on her way home
from Manila where she fought with
Dewey and bore CONSPICUOUS part
in the destruction of the Spanish
fleet last May. The Raleigh has
made proud record for herself, her
achievements being especially graft
fving to us not only because of the
name she bears but the further fact
that she is a Southern built ship
having been constructed at the
Norfolk maynard in 1912 and
launched in 1892. During the past
two wears she has covered 10000
miles besides doing effective fighting
in the battles around Manila, show
ing that the Oregon is not the only
ship on the sea when it comes to
globe-girdling. She proved her
efficiency in the stress of battle. Civ
ing an excellent account of herself,
and she is now proving the equal of
the best sea-going craft in our navy.
The Raleigh has been received every
where with marked courtesy and dis
tinguished honors, all of which are
well mcrited

THE RALEIGH AT BERMUDA.
She Passed Through a Storm as Safe
~ as Through the Spanish Shells at
Tlaniia.

HAMILTON. BERMUDA, April @
Although she had been tossed by a
strong gale and heavy seas for several
days. the United States cruiser
Raleigh. the first of the ships which
fought with Dewey in Malina bay to
return home. reached this port
today. having passed through the
storm rs safely as through the rain of
ojectiles from Montejo's Spanish
fleet
Captain Coghlan. the other officers
and the crew of the ship are all well,
in excellent spirits and anxious to
reach New York. where they know a
tremendous ovation awaits them.
The Raleigh sailed from Horto,
Azores, April and was expected to
reach Bermuda April I. She was
overtaken by a severe storm April 6.
and progress was delayed. The gale
was so strong and the seas were so
heavy that her speed had to be re-
duced to six knots
There was some apprehension
among the numerous Americans here
who had been impatientlv awaiting
her arrival. Their welcome of the
cruiser was no more enthusiastic
than that of the British fleet. which
cordially received the famous ship
when she appeared i'll the harbor.
The Raleigh will take on coal and
provisions here and sail for New
York Thursday.

New YORK, April 1O.-In a report
submitted to the Board Of Health this
morning DR.. NJ. B. Feeney, Chief
Sanitary Inspector, sets forth
frightfnl condition of things in re-
gard to the handling of secondhand
clothing, and its shipment to Raleigh.
Richmond, Norfolk, Charleston, Baiti-
more and other Southern cities.
DR.. Feeney on Friday and Saturday
nights visited several shops in Hester,
Bayard and Eldride streets and dis
covered that clothes taken from the
bodies Of persons who died from con-
tagious and infectious diseases were
handled and sold without the least
conjunction. Clothing taken from
drowned men is dried and then re-
paired in these shops and sent South.
where it is sold in stores.
DR.. Feeney says that through these
clothes diseases are communicated,
and that the clothes are responsible
for epidemics in the South, and for
such sickness and death among the
poor in the communities mentioned.
Acting under orders of President
Murphy, DR.. Feeney and several
policemen of the sanitary squad will
raid the places complained of. In
one of the places complained of the
shop is used Saturday as synagogue.
Here is part Of DR.. Feeney's report,
which is attracting much attention
here.
After referring to piles Of foul
smelling clothing ready for ship
ment to North Carolina and contigu-
Gus States, he says:
IAN examination of these articles
| showed that every one of them was
extremely filthy. In many cases they
bore evidence OF having at some
time been deposited an manure
heap, while other articles had suffered
from saturation to such an extent
that they have been immersed in
water for long periods of time, and
bore evidence of the fact that they
had given their previous owners long
| service.
| "In fact MANY of the articles pre-
sented the same appearance as thu
clothing taken from dead persons a
the morgue after they have been re
covered from the river.
.'In view of these facts l would
recommend that the filthy clothin,
found in these places be forthwith re

moved and fumigated. l would also
recommend that all secondhand
clothing be submitted to an examine
ton before being sold by peddlers and
manufacturers"
THE SHOPS ORDERED CLOSED.
NEW YORK, April 1O.-The Board
OF Health inspectors have found two
secondhand clothing factories that
Sanitary Superintendent Roberts has
issued orders to close up these places.
They are at No. 81 Eldridge street
and 100 Hester street.
At tenement house in Eldridge
street there was found in the apart
ments OF Hatschold Katz large piles
of cast-off clothing. Some of it was
wet, and all was filthy and foul
smelling. ''Many articles" the re-
port to the Board of Health says,
represented the same appearance as
clothing taken from dead persons at
the morgue after they had been
rescued from the river"
Conditions were found just as bad
in David Cohen's place. His daughter
said that the clothing was procured
from peddlers at the secondhand
clothing exchanges in Elizabeth and
Bayard streets. Her father made no
inquiries as to whether the clothing
he handled had been worn by persons
suffering from contagious or infec-
tious diseases.
She further stated that after her
father had re-made clothing he dis
posed of it to merchants in the West
and South, where it was sold in
stores. She also stated that her
fathers profits were from 5000 to
81 POO year and reckoning on 10 per
cent. would make the total sales from
$4,000 to $4,000 per year. Miss
Cohen admitted having had severe
attack OF typhoid fever two years ago.
She said Cohen had followed the bust
ness for eighteen years.
At No. 100 Hester street, kept by
Isaac Cohen, conditions similar were
discovered. The FARCE front room oil
the second floor, which is used every
day of the week except Saturday as q
shop, is occupied on Saturday and
other Jewish holidays as synagogue.
President Murphy directed the clos
ing of the synagogue and also the dis
infection of the clothing.
