NOISES AND LlCHENS.
Miss Edith Barnes Gives Interesting Talk
Before Horticultural Society.

Miss Edith Barnes of Northboro
gave interesting lecture at Horticul-
tural Hall, yesterday afternoon, on
MOSES and lichens, which was well
attended by people from this city and
surrounding towns who are interested
in the study of botany and natures
beauties and peculiarities. Miss Barnes
has given considerable of her time to
the study of MOSES and she handled
her subject yesterday in a manner
which was very gratifying to her audi
ence.
The lady gave the botanical history
of the life of the plants and illustrated
her descriptions by the means of col
ored plates. She also discussed the
plants from an esthetic point of view
and the effect they have upon the land
scape under certain conditions. She
discussed the remarkable property that
MOSES have of soaking up and hold
ing moisture, then drying up entirely
and pulVerizing, and if properly
handled they again assume a thriving
condition. This peculiar fact was shown
by artificial Illustrations, and some
specimens were displayed that had
been dried So weeks, and when revived
were almost perfect.
Many school teachers and people who
are interested in natures beauties and
peculiarities congratuled Miss Barnes
after she had finished her address.
Miss Barnes is the sister of Mrs.
Prof. Maynard of Amherst Agricultural
College, and a normal school graduate,
also a graduate of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology and University
of Wisconsin.
She became interested in botany early
in life and by constant study has be-
come an expert on the subject of
MOSES and lichens. She gives talks
before scientific clubs on the subjects
of birds, plants and conducts classes in
the field or in the class room in the
study of birds, trees, Towering plants
and MOSES.

BRADLEY NOT INIT.
Reported Car Combine viii Not Affect
Local Company.

The New York press dispatches of
yesterday gave out the story of a big
car combine to include all the leading
freight and passenger car builders of
the country.
1t is stated that the Barney & Smith
Car company, the Michigan Peninsular
Car company and the leading concerns
in Buffalo, N. Y, and Wilmington, Del,
are already enlisted, and that the prob
abilities were that the Pullman people
would come in.
The Bradley Car company people Of
Worcester, when shown the dispatch,
said that they knew nothing about the
deal. No overtures had been made to
them, and so far as they knew none
were likely to be. The works have been
idle for some months, and there is no
immediate prospect Of resuming oper-
atoms. Nor is there any likelihood of
their going into the trust.

P. C. U. Concert.
The attendance at the concert given
under the auspices of the Y. p. c. u.
of All Souls Church, last night, taxed
the seating capacity Of the church to
the utterTnost, and every one present
felt doubly repaid for the time spent
in listening to the music of the Or
pheus Banjo Club, the singing Of Mr..
Mayhem and the Incompatible read
ings of Miss Mary Pierpont Blair.
Miss Blair, as a reader, is too well
known to need any of the praise her
renderings of last night deserve. 1t is
sufficient to say that she was fully able
to sway her audience by the pathos
and humor of her selections.
Charles e. Mayhem is also well known
in Worcester, and his full bass voice Is
such that belongs only to a master
The Orpheus Banjo Club was in ex-
cellent trim, and their rendering of the

music had a language easily under
stood when translated by such artists
as Herbert F.. O'Leary, Joseph Lynch
and Frank Griffin, who compose the
