LEAVE TO WITHDRAW.
Committee on Streets Regards Lunch
Wagons as All Right.

The petition that was presented to
the city council nearly year ago, look
ing to the removal of lunch carts from
4he public streets was acted on yester-
day afternoon by the committee on
streets on the part of the board of al
dermen, who voted to recommend that
the petitioners be given leave to with
draw.
The petition is signed by Frank Ems
worth and other restaurant keepers of
the city, and prays that the chief of
police be instructed to enforce the ordi-
nance and remove lunch wagons from
the public streets. Aside from injur-
ing the business of hotels and lunch
rooms who contribute directly or indi-
rectly to the city's welfare in the way
of paying taxes, the petitioners claim
that many lines of trade suffer and that
the lunch wagons do not promote an
orderly or healthful manner of living
among citizens, also that they block
the public streets.
The petition was presented to the city
council June q, 1898, and was then re-
ferred to the committee on streets on
the part of the board of aldermen,
meeting with above disposition yester-
day.
Aldermen Brannon, Wall and
Vaughan of this committee, accompa-
MED by Manager f. r. Waring and
Foreman A R. Jacobs of the local tele-
phone exchange viewed the place where
the New England Telephone and
Telegraph Company have asked
permission to set poles in differ
ent streets. THE committee voted to
recommend that petitions be granted
in all streets asked except Salem
street. Petitions from the same com
pany, asking for rights to lay conduits
and manholes and to set distributing
poles together with pole locations in
of H. E. Hilton. We're granted.
ON a communication from the mayor
relative to the assessment of street
watering charges which was recommft-
ted to the committee, it was voted to
leave the matter in the hands of the
street commission, the rates to be the
same as last year.

For several years my health was
miserable. suffered the most dread
full pains, and was almost on the verge
of insanity. 1 consulted one of the
best physicians in New York, and he
pronounced my disease a fbroid tumor,
advising an operation without delay,
saying that it was my only chance for
life. Other doctors prescribed strong
and violent medicine, and one said l
was incurable, another told me my
only salvation was galvanic batteries,
which tried, but nothing relieved me.
One day friend called and begged me
to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. began its use and took
several bottles. From the very first
bottle there was wonderful change

peared entirely and my old spirits have

Der of the lower board expresses him

serve some other. purpose than orna-

The outside lights were turned on

Several members of the city council

cred the finest in the State.
His kind-hearted desire to be of SER
vice to the people and the great sin
certify that breathes through every line
of Bishop Michaud's recommendation
of Paine's celery compound, ought to
leave no doubt in any ones mind of the
tremendous superiority of Paine's cell

that have recently been clamoring foE
attention.
Paine's celery compound will make
you well, and enable you to stay so! =,
The system strengthened, purified
and regulated by this greatest of rem

There is no household that can afford
to be without it. Its praises have been
sounded by men and women in every
walk Of life-by the wealthiest, the
most famous, and by the humblest, but
equally grateful.
Paine's celery compound is within the
reach of every one. 1t is a simple
matter to test its astonishing efficacy.

TALKED ABOUT BROWNING
Miss Whiting of Worcester Spoke al
Course Arranged BY Mrs. r. w. Blair.

West Brookfeld, May 5.-NIiss Ell
eanor Whiting, who is leader of the
Browning class of the Worcester Wom-
ans Club, gave a talk in G. A. r. hall
this afternoon to an audience of about
go ladies from Warren, BrOokfeld and
this town. The talk was arranged by
Mrs. Frank w. Blair, who each year
manages a>little lecture course.
Miss Whiting began with the remark
that so much had been said about
Browning's obscurity that it seemed
almost self-conceited to stand up and
say you thought you understood him a
little Then she went on to sketch his
life, and to speak of his broad human
sympathies and understanding; his be-
lief in love as a manifestation of God
and the perfecter of life and his
splendid optimism and grip upon the
basal facts of Christianity. In illus
tration she read: Love among the
ruins" 1.-The statue and the bust" and
a few stanzas of "Abt Vogler."

WOULDN'T LOOSE THEM.
Man Takes After a Train on Which Were
His wife and Child.

His Vile and Child.
An unknown woman created laughter
to patrons of the railroads yesterday
morning at Union station. In COM
panv with a man and child, she entered
the waiting room and sat down. The
party had tickets for Nashua, and
while the man was wandering around
with a cigar between his teeth, the wo-
man and child heard a gong ring. The
woman had visions of desertion, and
taking the child in her arms, rushed
for the train shed. The s o'clock train
for Boston was just pulling out, but
she managed to get aboard. Her hus-
band rushed into the train shed and
saw his wife and child struggling to
the platform. Planting his hat down
hard. he clenched his fists and started
down the track at breakneck speed. At
ter the first crossing was reached, the
train gave a squirt and the man was
falling hopelessly to the rear, when his
wife told the conductor that she guessed
she had got on to the wrong train. The
train was stopped and there was a
reunion. The party was intact until
the Nashua train pulled out.

in the newspaper literature of the
day:
"On Saturday evening. at 1l:ii
o'clock the sun rode calmly and mildly
over the autumnal euqinox and east his
golden anchor on the wintry coast of
autumn. But as Yet the vast ocean OF
air through which he sails is glowing
and transparent with the memory of
the long summer days that have passed
over il, darting their rich beams to its
very depths. Even as we write. how
ever, the remembrance fades, like the
sky's blanching souvenirs of sunset;
and in the distance the cold ghosts of
winter glare and wave their frozen
wings, which creak on icy hinges
while in the silence Of midnight

Few people can contemplate this
