A POWER IN POLITICS.
French Speaking People Intend to Do
Things.

Things.
The French speaking people of this
town intend to be power in politics
by the time the next town elections
come around. Already they are laying
their plans with the expectation of hay
ing nearly if not quite $50 names on the
voting list when the time arrives for
the next town meeting.
At the last spring elections it was a
fact that nearly all the candidates who
had the support of the French element
landed victorious and this gave the
members of the NATURALIZATION club i'm
petus for greater endeavor. The offs
Gals of the club have now list of
names of IL French speaking people
who are eligible to become citizens, and
it is proposed to make vot ers of every
one of these and it is thought that many
more names will be secured before
spring.
But many of these. people cannot well
afford to undergo the expense incidental
to becoming naturalized and the object
of the club is to pave the way for them.
Consequently it has been arranged to
hold big fair in town hall during the
first week in october, the proceeds to
go to the Naturalization club for the
purpose of defra wing expenses.
If the French element can really get
their number of voters up to $50 by
spring, they will be in a position to die
tate, as they generally cling together
well and vote almost as one man.

DEFEATED MILFORD.
Webster Had Things Its Own Way and
Went Home Wealthy.

Milford. Aug. 26.-Nearly 1900 people
attended the Webster and Milford game
at the trotting park this afternoon.
From the start, the game was in the
hands of the visitors, after the second
inning, when they got three runs and
four runs in the third inning. 1t was
evident to all that Milford was out
classed. ~
The toss of Goodwin by the Milfords
and the statuesque playing Of Murphy
of Brookline, the new shortstop, was
partly the cause of the home teams
defeat Although the work of Tighe
and Hickey of the Milfords was to be
highly commended, the batting of the
Websters was without doubt the, cause
of their winning the game
Hundreds Of dollars changed hands
on the result Of the game, by the Mil
ford sporting fraternity and the Web
ster boys and their friends went home
jubilant There is no doubt but that
an effort will be made by Milfords to
get another game with, the Websters.

Former Curate of St.
Anne's TO Become
It's Pastor.
WILL SUCCEED REV. FIR. SCANNELL
North Brookield Man to Go
to Worcester and Fir.
Wrenn to Succeed Him.

North Brookfield, Aug. 26.-Rev. Jas.
p. Tuite, pastor of st. Joseph's church,
is expected to become pastor Of the
parish of st. Anne's, in Worcester, i'm
mediately. st. Annes parish is where
Father Tuite worked % years ago,
when he was first ordained.
1t is rated as the best parish in the
orally supposed that the honor of be-
ing pastor would devolve on one of the
older priests of the diocese instead of
Father Tuite, who is comparatively a
young man.
Father Tuite's executive abilities, the
high regard Bishop Beaver has for him
and his well-known ability as finan-
cier, are some of the things that COM
bined to procure for him the parish of
st. Anne's, which was coveted by near
ly every priest in the diocese.
Tonight The Spy reporter called upon
Father Tuite to ascertain if the story
was true. Father Tuite would not con-
firm or deny the story. In the course
Of the conversation, he said he hoped
y
much to return TO the scene of his ear
ly work in Worcester.
He said he recognized the great honor
that was being bestowed on him, but
that he would be very sorry when he
leaves the good people of North Brook
field, whose kindness he heartily appre-
ciated.
The reporter asked him to state
clearly whether or not he was to go.
6a 1,eif11 cd 10 ht1f Of 40 laY
admitted that the reporters informa-
ton was not incorrect.
Father Wrenn of West Warren is to
succeed Father Tuite here as pastor.
1t was through Father Wrenn that it
became known in North Brookfield that
Father lutte was to go to Worcester.
Father Wrenn was in town this after
noon and told of the changes that are
to be made. -.t..
Father Tuite has been stationed in
North Brookfield about IA years and has
done wonderful work for the parish
and also for the town in general, by his
work in the temperance cause.
1t is reported on good authority that
Rev. Phileas Troltier, who has been
curate here for several years, will take
Father Wrenns place in West War
rem.
The North Brookfield constables were
notified tonight to be on the lookout
for a bay horse and democrat wagon
which was stolen from the horse sheds

district in Brookfield, and was left Sc
curely tied in the horse shed.

A Fine Pass, Indeed!

night"
"Well, you ought to know the reason.

political history of this town"
"I'd like TO know what you're driving
at. How did l have anything to do with
it,"
II don't know that you did personally,
but it was All outrage nevertheless. The
hall was packed full of people and Mug
gleson had just started off in his most elo-
quent when some fellow, who of
course wa acting for your candidate,
stuck his head into the place and yelled
that a chicken coop around in the next
alley was afire. Of course nobody staid to
hear national questions discussed after
that, and now your party papers make
capital Of it. Fine pass things are coming

and botanist, to travel from village to
village and educate the farmers in agri-
culture, particularly in the irrigated re-
gions; while a third, hat is ever more
admirable, is the establishment Of IL
braries and reading rooms at division
points for the benefit Of the employees Of
the road. This is not entirely a new
plan. 1t was started several years ago
in a small way, but was abandoned un-
der the receivership and has only re-
| Gently been revived on a more extern
sive scale by President Ripley. He has
appointed the Rev. S.. E. Busser, for
merly an episcopal clergyman at EN-
poria, as superintendent Of the club
rooms, and that gentleman is constant
ly travelling up and down the 1000 miles
of road organizing and conducting So
cial and literary entertainments for the
benefit of the men and their families,
delivering lectures and looking after
their social and moral welfare.
In each of the eleven reading rooms
now in operation and foul more in
preparation there. is a library of 400 or
500 ~well-selected volumes of fiction, BIZ
ography, history, travels and practical
science, and books treating on other
subjects Of special interest to railroad
men. The books are frequently trans
ferred from one reading room to anoth-
err, so that the men can have the benefit
of them all, and the collection is con-
stantly increased by the addition Of
I current publications. All of the princi-
pal magazines and a dozen or more
daily and weekly newspapers and rail-
way journals are kept on file, billiard
tables, cards, checkers, chess and other
games are furnished, and bath rooms
are provided, so that when an engineer
or brakeman comes in from a dusty
journey he can refresh himself before
he sits down to read or rest. Smoking Is
| allowed, but no drinking or games Of
chance.
One afternoon each week the rooms
are open to the wives and families Of
the men, and one evening each week
the women folks are invited to a social
entertainment, so that they may be-
come acquainted with each other and
enjoy privileges that are usually be-
yond the reach of the population Of
frontier railroad towns. The women are
allowed to draw books from the library
and keep them a week. Mr.. Busser tells
me that they are more regular in their
attendance than the men.
The advantages Of the plan have al
ready been fully demonstrated. Mr..
Busser says it keeps the men away
from the saloons and adds to the con-
tentment of the women 1t is his effort
to convince the employees that the COM
pany is something more to them than a
source of subsistence; that they have
something more than their wages to
expect, and that there is something
more than labor to be found in their
occupation. WILLIAM E. CURTIS.

WHEN YOU'RE IN TROUBLE,
A Few AxiOms For the Beneit of tn
IfIlIaolrur =

A Few Axioms For the BENEFIT of the
Unlucky.
1t is always a more or less difficult mat
ter to know what to do when you get into
trouble. In truth, so great Is the difficulty
that it is questionable if 1t is not simpler
10 keep out of the trouble In the first place.
Some men no sooner get into a scrape
than they proceed to explain to the world
how it's entirely somebody else's fault
that they got there. This is a mistake and
uses up valuable energies to no end, for
the world as a rule is altogether too much
taken up with the delight of seeing them
in trouble to care a fig how they got
there.
Grin and look happy is a piece of advice
not illiberalIy bestowed upon a man that
has come to grief in some way or another
of the numerous modes open to us in this
wicked world. The advice is sound, and
you have only to keep out Of trouble to
recognize the full beauty Of ii. You have
also only to get into trouble to recognize
its full %futility.
There Is another class of man that no
sooner gets into trouble than he lays down
his arms, abandons his guns, and waits
for his friends to come along and get him
out. The exasperating part about it is
that the friends sometimes do so. Then
the man arises refreshed and with grateful
heart, and looks around for the next trorl.
BILE to fall into. AS a rule he doesn't have
to look long.
Then, again, there are some men-chief-
ly the kind that dwell on this ~planet-that
almost invariably begin to lie the moment
they get into difficulty. The trouble with
these is that they don't always stop when
they get out again. And while the world
will always tolerate a man that lies when
he gets into a box it is apt to make it a
hot box for the man that gets into it be.
cause he lies.
Lastly, there are some men-about nine
out of every ten-that are never happy I'M
less they are getting into trouble. AS a
consequence they are generally perfectly
happy. AS a still further consequence
everybody else around them is generally
perfectly miserable. This, so far as has
been noticed, does not tend materially to
lessen their enjoyment.
And the moral of the whole thinge
Don't get into trouble If you can help it,
and if you can't help it get as much fun
out of it as you can. When you've got as
much fun out of it as you can the next
best thing to get out of 1t Is yourself. -
