RUssIA's GREED OF MONEY

Will Require Large Amount to Com
 p1ete Present Enterprises.
 A great deal of interest is aroused in both political and financial circles by the appeal for assistance now being made by Russia in the London money market For many years to come Rus sia will require large financial re- sources to carry out her vast plans for railway development in China, Persia and Siberia. Unless London comes to the help of NJ de Witte, the Russian minister of finance, the building of these railways. which bulk so largely in the scaremonger's eyes, is likely to be postponed for an indefinite periQl. It seems odd that Russia should come to London to borrow money for the advancement of schemes which are openly designed to thwart the political and commercial interests of England and the United States in the far East. It is unusual, to say the least of it. to invite prospective victims to subscribe for the expense of their own interment. The only ground on which the appli- cation is to be justified is the cosmo- politan character of modern finance. which knows neither country nor pa- triotism. Every shilling subscribed in England or America for the building of Russia's strategic lines in Asia will be used against them. The spirit in which that portion of the Russian govern ment which is hostile to Anglo-Saxon development administers the affairs of the interior is shown in the arrest and exile of thousands of students, and in the closing of nearly all the principal universities and colleges in Russia Harpers Weekly,

BY MERE CHANGE DR. H. E, WILLIAMS ES- CAPPED BEING RUN DOWN
 BY A SWITCH ENGINE NO ALARM WAS GIVEN By the Engineer to Denote the Approach of the Train to
 the Crossing.

Dr. H. E. Williams, of this city, came nearer deaths door yesterday than ever experienced before.
 It seems, from what the Doctor states that he and just crossed toe bridge on Missouri street between Fourth and Fifth avenue. On the right side of Missouri street houses are built close to the Iron Mountain track but there is but one large house from the bridge 10 the rail- road track on Missouri street. On line with the large house and parallel to the railroad tracks there are several small houses, thus obstructing the view of the people coming south on Missouri street.
 It seems the bell of the switch engine was not ringing; in fact nothlng to notify either the Doctor or any one else of the pear approach Of an engine or train.
 When twenty feet away from the railroad track the Doctor saw the engine and quickly turning his horse, the big iron horse passed by grazing the buggy. The scare occasioned has disturbed the Doc tol $ equilibrium. This is a danger. ous place, the crossing at Fourth avenue, not only at night but day time as well.
 We presume that it is customary, according to law, for switch engines to blow either a whistle or ring bell when approaching crossing; but from the facts adduced neither were given.

Cheerful Novels.

In a recent article in the Indepen- dent, Margaret Deland makes a strong plea for the cheerful novel: For my part she says, T find as I grow older I want the novels I read to end well. A story, let us say, of Siberian convict life might be told with truth so far as facts go and with art in it's telling, and yet leave the reader mis- erable and unhappy. See clear, think straight, understand facts, as they lie, good and bad, in the wide setting of eternity-but believe! believe! believe! Believe in the integrity of the moral purpose of the universe-beli in God and in little children-believe in the goodness of the world.

TIT FOR TAT.
Was the Suit Instituted by Dexter
 Harding Against Cook & Collier.

The case of Harding vs. Cook < Collier occupied the attention of Judge Vance Saturday. The plain- tiff sought to recover payment of lumber that he had sawed for the defe ndants. Defendants repudias- ed the deb claimed on the ground that the contract entered into had been violated and not adhered to by plaintiffs. The fact was brought out in the case that the defendants had furnished plaintiff with a new saw in order that they might get out the order placed with them bet ter and more satisfactory; this de. fendants set up as a counter claim to plaintiffs claim. The case was thoroughly sifted. Arguments were made by counsel and the case went to the jury at 5:30 Saturday evea- !ng.
 The jury late last night rendered the following verdict through their foreman J. H. Shelby: We the jury find for the plaintiff in the sum of $85 91., and that the plaintiff re. turn the saw to the defendants Cook & Collier.

A Yonthful Master of Finance.

One of the cadets of a northwestern military academy but who lives in Chicago, has convinced his father that he is destined to brilliant business career 1t is all owing to a letter that the young man wrote short time ago. It appears that the father had prom ised the boy he should have any sort of a watch he wanted at the close of the present school term Nothing more was heard about the watch until the father received letter that ran about like this: Dear Father: -I have been looking at watches lately and have decided that the kind I want will cost you about $350 As a watch of this value is hardly of the sort for a boy of 15 to carry, and as I will not need watch till after 1 leave school, wish to make this suggestion: Prob ably you are hard up and do not wish to spend $350 for a watch at this time. Four years from now, when I leave school, watches will be cheaper, and it is likely that you can then buy the same watch for $150. Now the interest on $350 for four years (simple inter- est-I am willing to let you have the benefit of the compound at 6 per cent will be $S4. If you will send me the $84 now you need not buy the watch till after I leave school. Tn this way you will have the use of the $266 for four years, and at the end of that time the watch will only cost you $50; $50 plus $S4 is $234, or $116 less than what the watch will cost you now. So, you see, by this plan you will make a clear profit on this transaction of $116 Your loving son, EDDY"
 A Singing WeiB
 Near Wiedermans, Texas, is an abandoned well, about 60 feet deep, which, a correspondent of Popular Science says, is famous in the neigh borhood for it's musical powers. In fine weather, particularly with vest erly wind, it gives forth a sound like that of an Aeolian harp, swelling and dying away by turns. When heavy northerly wind is blowing, the water rises within a few feet of the top, and strange noises, which some persons think resemble means, issue from the old well. An attempt to fill up the well a few years ago failed, appar- ently because of the existence of subterranean cavity which swallowed up the dirt as fast as it was dumped in.

 It was once the fortune of a man who was ugly both in temper and in features to sit opposite to Douglas Jerrold at dinner party. Whilst the cloth was being removed the latter managed to break glass. His vis-a-yis, thinking to turn the laugh at him, at once said: What, already, Jerrold? Why I never break glass" T am surprised at that" Jerrold answered. "You ought to whenever you look in one"

 The polka dot has appeared in yet another form. The newest opera glasses are of pearl spotted with small cabochons (which, being interpreted, is dots) of garnets or emeralds. The effect is extremely pretty, yet the practical person will prefer palmer glass and stronger lens.

A CHANGE MADE.
Highland Military Academy
Instructor Resigns.

Changes are announced in the corps
Of instruction at the famous Highland
military academy, which has sent forth
from its doors so many graduates who
are now distinguished men in the pro-
fessional, civic and commercial life of
the nation.
Wesley A. O'Leary, who has been in
full direction of the commercial de-
partment of the Highland military
academy, has resigned from that posi-
ton. which he has filed with excep-
tional success, and will close his du-
ties in connection with that institution
today. Instructor O'Leary leaves Wor-
cester to accept a more lucrative posi-
ton as sub-master of the high school
at Portsmouth, N. H.
Mr.. OLeary graduated at Dartmouth
in 1894, and since his graduation has
won notable success in his profession.
and his departure from the Highland
military academy will be with the re-
gret of all, who wish him success in
his new field. His place at the head of
the commercial department will be
taken by M. w. Smith, a graduate of
Dartmouth in the class of '9S, who
comes to the academy with the highest
recommendations. He was an honor
man in his class, and won several
prizes for scholarship during his col
lege course. He enters upon his du-
ties as head of the commercial derart-
ment at once.

has improved much recently, and today
he will be enabled undoubtedly, to
leave his room for the first time since
his illness.
During the past seven years it has
been his custom to divide his time be-
tween Worcester and Warren, remain
ing here with his son during the winter
season.
Mr.. Miller was born in Chester, and
first came to Worcester in 1888, and
entered the employ Of Windsor Hatch
in his wooden factory in what is now
South Worcester. He remained there
for a year and then for some years al
ternated his residence between Millbu
ny, Oxford and Middlefeld. In 1898 he
ernigrated to New York state as a
farmer, and lived there for ten years.
He returned to Worcester and took up
his permanent residence in 1855. He
has always, with the exception of the
past winter been in excellent health,
and expressed himself as pleased at the
anticipation of getting out and about
again as soon as spring returns.
His earliest recollections of Worces-
ter as he rode in on the stage coach in
1888, was Of a small town, and of pass
ing a few scattered farms. The Wor-
cester of today, he says, seems nike a
dream and altogether unreal.
