FOX SCORES MIXED
Hunters Must Depend on The Spy
to Know Their Standing

The roll Of honor of the Worcester
Fur Company has been considerably
mixed up this season, especially in the
last few days. The score is kept in
dependently at A. B. F. Kinney's, and
the liver Johnson sporting goods stores.
Members of the company report to
either, some to one and some to an
other. Several members report to E.
S. Knowles at the Exchange Hotel. On
account of the lack of a single report
ing place, as was the case when Mr..
Knowles was in business, the TALES do
not always agree. The only correct
score and one that has always been
correct, has been the weekly tally
printed in The Spy.
The correct score, including all pelts
that were reported last evening, is:
Paul Wheeler, Alvin Fisher, H. c.
Newell, each; j. H. Baird, John M

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Question of Police Pensions viii
Come up For Discussion

Principal interest in tomorrow nights
meeting of the city council centres in
the action on the recommendation of
the committee on police relative to ac-
oepting the act, providing for the PEN
sioning Of police officers 1t has been
predicted that the matter would be
killed in the board of aldermen, and
the general expression yesterday was
that the matter would be tabled, or go
over to the next city council
A majority of members of the board
fail to see why policemen should be
pensfoned any more than other classes
of city employees, especially firemen,
whose duties are much more hazardous.
School teachers and municipal en-
same light. There is, however, two
sides to the question. Policemen are
appointed for life, except in event Of
some cause for dismissal and in many
cases are kept on the force long after
it would be better for the men and the
department if they could be placed on
a retired list. With some such system,
the difference between the money paid
in pensions and the regular salary u
a policeman would provide compensa-
ton for man fully capable of per-
forming the most active duty.
The matter of electing two members
of the overseers of the poor and two
directors Of the free public library, may
be taken up, but it has been the custom
to give a weeks notice of such cleo
ton, and it is probable that a special
meeting will be called for the election.
Several reports will be submitted.
the work of the several city
and a number of reports
which may provoke some argument,
will be submitted.
The water committee will introduce
an order providing for the work Of
water, as has been stated
These petitions have been filed: Wor-
cester Bleach and Dye Works, for an
electric light on West Fremont street;
Julia A. Martin, for compensation for
damage, to estate on Mill street; Emile
B. H Rogers, for additional compen-
sation for damage to estate on Insti-
tute road; Henry M. Corbett, for addi-
tional compensation for damage to es-

brought out a broom.
The Spy man turned to go, and as he
was about leaping into space, so as to

stars, Mr. Caustic presented him with
a moonstone, which he intends to have
set in ring, possibly the race track.

Cheese Made Here

Certain kinds of so-called imported
cheeses which are made up in the CEN
trail part of Illinois and in Wisconsin
are about as good as the real article
which they clevery initiate" said a res
taurant keeper. Not long ago I went
through Greene county Wis. where the
cheese industry is very important The
assessors statistics for 1898 gives the
amount Of cheese from the factories thsPe
as 5000 600 pounds. but it is doubtless more
than that This great product is shipped
to the Pacific coast, and from there to
Mexico and South America.
"These factories turn out tn big round
Swiss cheese S, the fancy so-caled foreign
cheeses and Limburger. The business Is
almost entirely controlls d by Swiss
cheese makers who have been trained in
their native country, and their Swiss
cheeses are made exactly like the import
ed article There may be a difference in
the quality of the milk here and in Switz-
erland, but only an expert could detect 1t
in the cheese. 1t would surprise you il
YOU knew how large a proportion of the
alleged imported cheeses are made in this
country. There are foreign cheeses, OF
course which cannot be counterfeited

The Old Fellow Discusses the De-

ponds so Much on the Moon

The last astronomical event of the
last night in the shape of partial
eclipse of the moon. Some attention
was paid to it on the street. and the
telescope man by the city hall did a
rushing business for a while, though he
was rather late in getting his appara-
tus started. While this was a partial
eclipse, 996-1000 of the moons surface
was covered by the shadow, which
made it look very much like the whole
thing The eclipse was at its height at
S.26 o'clock, and the shadow had en-
tirely passed off at 1906, 18th meridian
time.

had some difficulty in persuading the
gentleman to talk, as he had been out

but after a time, however, he became
more loquacious and was ready to an
