SPENCER WRITES a LETTER

sive Is)Read at a Peace
Meeting.

London, Sept. 16.-Indications frcn
ell sources point to the extreme gravity
of the Transyaal situation.
Advices emanating from q Boel
source at Pretoria say the Transvaal''
reply is incorporating and prepara-
tion for stsunch resistance are pro-
ceeding continuously.
Another Pretoria special dated Sep
tember 10, says the situation is regard
ed by all ae but hopeless unless Great
Britain retreats from her position. The
dispatch adds; The governments of the
two republics consider the Transvaal
would refuse to concede anything fur
ther and it is believed the Beers will
haye the support of all Afrikanders
throughout South Africa. 1t is definite
Iy stated that the Orange Free State
has agreed to unite with the TTansvasl
In resisting British claims.
A telegram from Cape Town says:
Further kilograms from Pretoria today
confirm the forecast of the reply of the
Transvaal to Great Britain, which does
not accept the demands of the British
government as whole. Great excite
ment prevails in Pretoria over the con-
sequences which may ensue. The
young Beers are asking to be led into
the field Immediately. It's impossible
20 predict the situation after the
delivery of the reply In London. The
feeling here is that it will be impossi-
BILE for the imperial government and
undignifled upon Its part to again enter
upon an interchange of arguments.
The Royal Munster regiment has ar
rived at Cape Town.
Correspondents of the leading Lon
don papers start for South Africa to-
day. General Sir George Stewart
White, v. c., former quarter master
general, whose appointment to the
Natal command was gazetted last night,
also sails today with his staff.

1t should be every ones care. Life is d
struggle for the prize of success. The man
who wins must take care of his stomach. Il
is not lack of energy or exercise that has
caused so many a break down in the race.
1t is neglect of the stomach.
Incessant dull headache aggravated by
eating, hatulence, gnawing in the stomach,
heartburn, acid quotations coated tongue,
bad taste in the mouth nervousness, mental
depression, sleeplessness; these are only
few of the symptoms of q weak stomach
and an enfeebled condition of the digestive
and nutritive functions. Not all these
symptoms will be experienced at once, bus
any one of them means danger.
" 1t has made new man of me, is the
constant testimony of those who have used
Or. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
This remarkable remedy has such perfect
control of the stomach, digestive and assirn-
ilative organs and blood making glands that
it speedily corrects the arrangements which
weaken them, re-establishes them in healthy
working order, so that once more the whole
body-blood, BRAIN nerves and muscles-is
nourished, and built up into rugged health.
Golden Medical Discovery contains
no alcohol, whisky or other intoxicant. Its
protracted use does not create a craving for

TILLY HAYNES IN TOWN.
With a Party of Friends Takes Trolley
Ride From Boston to This City.

lilly Haynes, proprietor of the
Broadway Central hotel, New York.
and the United States hotel, Boston,
with a party of friends, dined at the
Bay State house yesterday
The name of lilly Haynes is known
to every public official in the country
and he has been on intimate terms with
some of the foremost men of the times.
The trip from Boston was made by
trolley, which,, to Mr.. Haynes, was a
novel one. Members of the party were
fatigued upon reaching this city
about o'clock, after a six hour ride
in the electrics, but after dining and
resting for g. short time, the return
trip was made.
BY reason of his long residence at
Springfield, and intimate relations
with Boston & Albany officials, Mr..
Haynes has a clear insight into the
Boston & Albany railroad lease. He be-
lieves the management of the Boston &
money to make money and that the
road is the best piece of railroad prop
erty in the country
Mr.. Haynes expresses the opinion
that the Fitchburg will not be absorbed
by the New York Central. He is of
the opinion that the road will be used
in conjunction with the West Shore
road as a weapon to fight the Grand
Trunk and other roads for through
traffic in low priced freights. He be-
lieves that the Fitchburg Is bottled up
by the CentraPs control of it's western
connections, and that the road has no
incentive to take a more active inter-
est in the railroad deals.

DOING SUNDAY BUSINESS
Police Found a Number and They Ordered
Them to Close Up Their Shops.

Station officers were specially in
|structed by Capt. Matthews, yesterday,
to keep an eye on all stores in their
territory and during the day four or
five men we're found keeping open shop,
but on being ordered to close up by the
officers they did so.
At noon Capt. Matthews made tour
of the stores on Millbury street, from
Vernon square to Quinsigamond, and
found an italian fruit stand doing all
kinds of business. The owner was or
dered to close up, which they did
The large number of Hebrew mer-
chants in that section of the city evil
dentally intended to abide by the law
in regard to Sunday, but it is said that
they will take steps to see that every
person owning store in that neigh
borhood shall also abide by the law,
and Worcester will have a chance to
again experience q Sunday without be-
ing able to purchase cigars and other
things unless it can be proved they are
for medicinal purposes.
There are a number of newspaper
stands in that section which do con-
siderable cigar business.

the Cay. We are commanded to remem-
Der the Sabbath day and keep it holy.
IL is clear we are to keep the day holy
ana not to do any work in it, but it is
not clear what keeping the day holy
means; nor is it clear in mems minds
what kind of work is so necessary as
to be excepted. Some very pious peo-
pie who view the dissertation of the day
by b1cyclers, do not mind keeping their
COOKS at work over the Sunday din
ners; and some do not mind Decorating
their minds and the day by reading the
sunday newspapers, which 1 consider
the most insfdiouS of them all.
DO not believe any person should
make mere recreation use of Sunday.
But am not prepared to condemn
those who are shut up a whole week, if
they seek recreation a part of the day,
either in a game of golf, ride on the
wheel paddle in a canoe or a ride
into the country in a carriage or trolley
car. Christ would say, if he were here
with US today, that the Sabbath was
made for man and not man for the
Sabbath. Is it more evil to seek the
preservation of health on the Sabbath
day than to seek the restoration of
health?
1 simply cannot believe that God will
condemn man shut up in factory, shop
or store, and prevented by the necessi-
ties of business from the enjoyment of
other days, if he seeks pure and nor
NAL recreation on Sunday. Sunday
recreation is neither to be condemned
in general nor approved in general.
Every person must be a law unto him
self. There is nothing but condemna-
ton for the man who ignores God on
that day and makes it a holiday, no
law will guide him.
There is a question raised in our
community as to whether there shall
be given in our public parks sacred
concerts on Sunday afternoons.
should say, let us have music in the
parks. Music has its elevating power,
given as 1t would be with the charms
of our beautiful parks, it could minis
ter evil only to him who Is already de-
PRAYED in sense and soul.
The answer to the Sunday question
for the devout Christian is a plain and
clear one. If there is no time for rea-
sonable recreation except on Sunday,
let us see that Christ has said that
Sabbath was made for man, and
regulate our life" by it's normal needs
as in the sight of God. The answer to
the Sunday question which the citizen
should give is also clear. He has no
right to put the restriction of his CON
science on another. For scientific rea-
sons, he would insist that every man
should have the day for himself
We may be sorry that men so chose
to use the day, but if the great princi-
pal of religious liberty is q true one,
we have no right to rule our fellowmen
by our conscience or the tenets of our
faith. Let us catch the spirit of Jesus
Christ, who Interpreted Gods law in
the light of human need. And while
we take care to live honestly by our
own faith in God and duty, grant to
each man the right to live by his
faith.
