OUR STATE CHARITIES.

The people of this city are always in
| terested in what the state is doing for
unfortunates, especially in such work
| as is being done at the School for the
Predetermined at Waltham, Of which
Hon. Stephen Salisbury and Hon. John
D. Washburn of this city are corporate
members. The f1fty-second annual re-
port of this institution has just been
submitted to the governor by the trus-
tees and careful study of it's pages
shows that its growth is marked with
progress This institution is distinct
from other purely public institutions in
that it receives only a part of it's run
! ming expense from the state treasury
During the past year there have been
622 inmates in the school, of which 225
were supported by the commonwealth,
| and 227 supported by cities and towns.
The current expense amounted to a lit
tie over 100000 or 1922 per week for the
| maintenance of each inmate. There
were 321 applications for admission
during the year, the largest number in
the history of the school. It was found
advisable with the facilities at hand to
admit Of this number only 65.
Those in charge report that as a~rule
the children admitted have not been
those capable Of the most improvement
but were rather cases where the welfare
of the child or of the family at home
| demanded that he be cared for at this
institution. There are now on file over
1000 applications for admission but only
a very small percentage of this number
can be cared for with the present equip
ment. The plan and scope of this insti-
tuition differs materially from almost all
| others. The class of inmates is incap-
| able of scholastic training, but every
| boy and girl in good bodily health has
| some regular daily work assigned them
according to their age, size or capacity
and this work is often changed, to make
them familiar with different kinds of
work. Aside from the immediate dis
ciplinary and educational value of work
the only possible way that a feeble
minded person can be fitted to lead a
harmless, happy and contented ex-
istence after he has grown to adult life
| is by acquiring in youth the capacity
for some form of useful work. This is
just what this school aims to do and it
has been doing it with eminent success
for more than half century.

THE BOSTON POSTMASTERsHIp,

Washington advices state that Sena-
tors Hoar and Lodge have agreed tc
recommend to the president the name
of George A. Hibbard to succeed Col.
Thomas as postmaster of Boston. OF
course, it is matter of general as
sumption that the senior senator has
practically nothing to do with the Bos-
ton postmastership, that being left en-
tirely in the hands of Senator Lodge
1t is rumored, however, that Senator
Hoar was favorably inclined to ex-Sen-
ator Holden for the office, but that he
is not disposed to go into the contro-
versy as long as Senator Lodge is more
directly interested and ex-senator Hol-
den is not disposed to drag Senator
Hoar into the matter. There are three
active candidates for the place-ex-
Senator Holden, Hon. Joseph E. Mac
cabee and acting Postmaster Hender-
son.

ADVICE ON COURTS HIP.

Walter Farnsworth, the Chicago big
amist with AZ wives, ought to be a
mighty good authority on the ethics of
successful courtship. While waiting
commitment the other day, he gave a
short impromptu lecture to the court
attendants on how to make love sue
cessfully. His main points were "a
man must always gain the confidence
of a woman before he can successfully
make love to her. You can gain all Of
the trust of some women in a dav:
others it may take a month or so. You
must look a woman in the eve
and tell your story straight. The big
thing is to forget the past and live
only in the present. Don't let your
mind wander from one subject to an
other or you will spoil your case. Know
your woman before you make love to
her. Do it in the right way. There is
no set rule, but if there is a rule it
must be to forget the past and all its
love affairs"

AMUSEM M ENTS.

In Because She Loved Him So"
which is to be presented at Worcester
theatre, Wednesday evening, Dec 6, by
j. g. Dodson and the original New York
and Boston cast William Gillette has
seized upon a fruitful theme as the sub
1ect Of his comedy. He has imagined a
female Othello, an unreasoning, head
strong, wayward and tempestuous
woman, so completely possessed of the
demon of jealousy that her life becomes
merely record of those damned min
utes" which serve to make UP the sim
of existence of one "who dotes vet

curious way, IF there be a God and
think it is clear that he would like me
to do what he is doing himself. He
has manifestly fashioned the English
speaking race as the chosen instru-
ments by which he will bring a state
Of justice, liberty and peace; he most
obviously wishes me to do what 1 can
to give as much scope and power to.
that race as possible. Hence, If there
be a God, 1 think that what he would
like me to do, is to paint as much of the
map of Africa British red as possible,
and to do what 1 can elsewhere to
promote the unity and extend the in
fluence of the English speaking race"

RHODES IDEAL.

1t has been said by those who ought
to know, that Cecil Rhodes is a man
Of great imagination. Whether it be
true or not, one story told of him
marks decision. That is his opinion
that the English speaking man
whether British American. Australian
or South African, is the type of race
which does now, and is likely in the flu
ture to do the work of establishing
Justice, promoting liberty and insuring
peace over the widest extent of the
planet.

OVERHEAD WIRES.

The dangers of overhead wires in our
streets was again forcibly illustrated
yesterday afternoon by the burning out
of a fuse on a pole in front of the
Park theatre on Front street There
were a score or more of pedestrians in
the vicinity at the time, and but for
timely word of warning, a serious acct
dent might have happened. Within the
past year much progress has been made
in the work of placing all overhead
wires underground where they properly
I belong In the past week, workmen
have begun erecting poles at the street
corners, and taking down the insight
ly electric light wires and poles, so that
within a short time no wires will re-
main in sight except the street car troll
ley wires.
With the advances made in the sci
to street railway propulsion, it will be
only few years more before these un-
slightly overhead encumbrances will
also have to go. This time cannot be
too quickly hastened for the welfare
and safety of the community, and es-
pecially those who are obliged to use
our streets and sidewalks. Every cleo
! tricaIly charged wire placed on poles
over streets, sidewalks and buildings
| is a danger to the community, and so
far as public authorities have power,
they should exercise it for their re-
moval. 1t ought not to be said of
! Worcester that a great disaster was
necessary in order to teach a lesson
of danger from the subtle electric cur
/ rent.
