HIGH SCHOOL MINsTRELs.

A good sized audience gathered in
the town hall this evening to see the
performance of the Westboro high
school minstrel troupe The young am
ateurs deserve a lot Of credit for the
remarkable way in which they acquit-
ted themselves. Many local jokes were
cracked and the audience appIauded
frequently. The boys were seated in a
semi-cirele with James Craffey in the
centre, who acted as interlocutor. The
opening chorus was a medley overture
of Whitmark's. The first solo was rem
dered by Robert Rogers, whose selec-
ton was "Darktown is out tonight.
Other soloists were William Moses,
who rendered "Hillo, my baby; the
bass solo, ASLEEP in the deep" by
Parkman Staples, was very finely sung
and Mr. Staples has a voice that is
seldom found in one so young. William

TO SAVE THE TREES.
Consolidated Road Will
Comply With Inspect
tors Suggestions.

Grafton, April 21.-The Worcester
Consolidated Street Railway Company
is soon to comply with the suggestions
made in the report of r. L. Crimp, who
served the town as inspector from Nov.
% to Dec. 10, during the building of the
railway. 1t was impossible to finish
the road then, owing to the frozen con-
diten of the grounds. and the work
was delayed until the present time.
To complete the road, according to
the inspectors views, the following
changes are necessary: ITO insure the
preservation of shade trees along the
route. tree insulatofs and a coat OF
paint close to the butts of the trees
should be applied. On Oak street,
North Grafton. three driveways, prop
erly planked and drained, are needed;
also guard rail, and the sharp curve
at Harrington street and the near by
bank should be cut back to distance
of four feet from the track. A guard
rail is a. necessity, at this curve, where
several wires cross above the trolley
wire There are several poles thirst
ing for paint along the line, and
streets and slopes that are in need of
a cleaning from all loose stones, tree
trimmings, etc.
1.-The turnout at the Boston ana Al
bany station and ON the, fiat con-
structed with railroad split switches,
are a dangerous menace to horses and
light wagons Along Main street, in
North Grafton, steps should be con-
structed to allow safe and convenient
passage from the cars to the houses
bordering on the street. Between
Wheeler bridge and the Boston and
Albany station, Is driveways, includ-
ing one the entire length of the post
office. should be constructed. Ten tree
insulators and II guard wires are need
ed in this section of the line. JAIL along
the route guard fences are required.
In the centre the sidewalk near the
block must be raised, and the
cutters on Worcester street paved.

A SUCCESSFUL SEASON.
Rutland Historical and Public improve

ment Society in Good Shape.
Rutland. April 21.-The meeting OF 'he
Rutland Historical and Public Improve
ment Society closes a season Of inter-
esting study of Spanish history. The
society started as the Fortnightly Cluo,
which for two years met during the
winter season IN the Congregational
vestry once in two weeks, anu py
series Of papers carried on travels IN
foreign lands, taking up successfully
England. Germany and France.
Dec. g. 1895, the club was merged lhto
the Rutland Historical and Public I'M
provement Society, by which name II
has since been known. During the first
two winters studies were pursued in
the line of colonial history Inc past
season, on account of our national COM
pIication with Spain, that country us
history and national characteristics ana
relations to America, has been the
theme of study and has furnished the
ground for many interesting papers.
The interest in the society and its
work has been increasing from the nrst.
The past season seldom was an audi
ence of less than so interested persons
present at each of the meetings. Vocal
and instrumental music was furnished
under the direction of some member OF
the society.
During the society's work occasional
lectures have been given by some
prominent men, as Edwin D. Mead of
Boston, DIR. A. Worcester of Waltham
and Joseph Parker Warren, president
of the Old South Historical Society of
Boston.
The Rufus Putnam house, which has
become more and more historical
shrine, is the centre around which the
historical pride of the society gathers.
The public improvement branch OF
the organization takes UP the work
from now on looking after the appear
ance of the village streets, etc., and is
in the hands of a committee which has
charge of the work. Three crosswalks
will be constructed under its direction
very soon The following papers were
read at the meeting this evening.
"Spains rule in the Netherlands" Miss
Annabel S. Atherton; 'CerYantes and
Spanish literature" Miss Grace j. Alex
ander. A paper on characteristics of
Spanish people," prepared by Joseph
O'Herron, member of the society, now
in Boston, was read by Arthur A.
Heald The paper, 'Murillo, and Span
ish art" by Rev. Sidney Crawford, was
illustrated by several large photographs
of some of Murillo's best pictures in
European galleries. Much of the sue
cess of the societys work is due to the
interest and zeal of it's president, Rev.
Sidney Crawford, ably assisted by the
other officers and committees, and the
care taken by those taking part in
preparing interesting papers.

Now there promises to be a real red
hot time in the old borough, Monday,
the oath.
Mr.. Brigham was elected to the office
of selectman on Monday March 9Th.
On Saturday, March 4, Mr. Brigham
left New York for a trip through the
West Indies. with the Raymond Whit
comb party.
Tuesday. Town Clerk Billiard gave
to Constable William Magner list of
elected town officers who had not ia
ken their oath of office. Mr. Brigham S
name was on the list. Mr.. Magner
left a summons at the residence of Mr..
Brigham the same day, the 9TH of
March The summons was wired to
Mr.. Brigham at st. Pierre Martinique,
w. l. The message was received by
him, and he Immediately went before
Consul George L. Darte, at the United
States consulate, on the 18th of March,
and took his oath of Office.
Mr.. Brigham forwarded the papers to
Town Clerk Billiard, who did not re-
ceive them until Mr. Brigham had re-
turned home the latter part of March.
During this time the possibility of
his not having properly qualified was
generally discussed, some contending
that he had not properly qualified, and
a minority that he had legally qualified
as selectman.
After his arrival home, Mr. Brigham
had talk with Adams Franklin Brown
and Butler w. Hero, the two members
of the board of selectmen, and ex-
pressed his opinion that he had not le-
gally qualified, which position he fur
Their strengthened by signifying his
willingness to allow his name to go in
on nomination papers for the office of
selectman at the special town meet
ing, on Monday, April a.
After the call for a special election
had been issued, the names of John
w Slattery, Esq, and Edward M.
,Ainsworth were prominently mentioned
as candidates for the vacancy, and
their respective friends began a quiet
canvass.
The friends of Mr.. Brigham immedi-
ately took alarm and began to take
measures to secure his reelection.
Measures were partly taken to petit
ton the legislature to confirm his cleo
ton on March 6, but Representative
III. L. Chase refused to introduce 1t UNI
less it was the expressed wish of the
voters of the town. Failing in this, the
present method was adopted. Mr..
Brigham took the oath before justice
of the peace, on March 20, filed it with
the town clerk March q.
Monday morning his friends intend to
move an adjournment of the special
town meeting on the ground that there
is no vacancy to be filled.
Mr.. Slattery and Mr.. Ainsworth were
both interviewed, and both said if the
position assumed by Mr.. Brigham S
friends was right on further consider
alton, they would not contest the ad-
iournment but at present writing, they
could not see the justice of the claim.

Poor Fire Alarm Service and No Water
Handicap Fremen.

Warren, April 21.-Fire last night de-
stroyed the house on the farm known
as the Stearns place and owned in part
by Edward Lombard and Mrs. Julia
Lyden. The Lyden family occupied a
portion of the house at the time of the
fire. The family escaped safely, but
lost a large part Of their household eff
fects. The barn and stock were saved
by good work on the part of volunteers,
and the few firemen that were there.
The fire alarm was faulty, and so few
in the centre Of the village were
aroused, only a small part of the fire.
men knew of the fire until this morn
ing. The town hall bell rang a short
time. The town depends upon the
whistle at Sayles and jerks mill in
case of fire, but they claim they did not
have steam enough on to blow it,
When the engine arrived at the fire
it was found the water was all out of
the boiler. and had to be filled through
a comparatively small pipe. The fact
Of the boiler being empty, cannot at
present be accounted for, and will be%r

Our boy, Charlie, was also subject to at
