COLLEGEY. MICA. WORK.
State Secretary eudd of Boston Talks on
Topic at Grace Church.

State Secretary eudd of Boston 7 alks on
Topic at Grace Church.
George s. Budd of Boston, secretary
of the state executive committee of the
Y. M. c. A., having special charge of
the work of the association in connec-
ton with colleges and similar institu-
tons in Massachusetts, and Rhode Is
land, addressed the evening congrega-
ton at Grace Church yesterday.
Mr.. Budd took for his theme the
growth and good work accomplished by
students of this and other countries in
connection with religious effort. In
opening he said that the prevalent idea
in olden times and one that exists to a
certain extent at the present time
among some people, is that the entire
work Of the church rests in the hands
of a few men, namely clergymen.
Mr.. Budd contended, however, that
every man has some special call to
service, and no matter what his occu-
patton there is some special work de-
signed for him to perform. One teaching
of Christ, more emphatic, perhaps, than
others, is the law of service. Christ's
life on earth when he instructed his dis
ciples regarding what was to be done
when he should be taken away was an
admirable illustration of the fact that
all have some special duty to perform.
The work Of laymen in connection
with teaching of the gospel and its kim
dred influences has increased wonder
fully during the past few years, and in
no branch Of this work has there been
grander results than among the stu
dents.
The wonderful growth of the Y. M.
G.. A. was cited. In 1877 the first organ
lied college convention met in Louis
Vile, KY AT this time there were 26
associations with a membership of 1900.
Ten years later there were ESQ associ-
ations, with 1880 members, and in 1898
there were AIS associations numbering
10000 members.
The purpose of the association in
college may be considered under three
heads. First to unite Christian men of
different Institutions, for mental help;
second, to extend the kingdom of Christ
in college, and third, to develop leaders
to go out and extend the kingdom.
During the last three years the growth
of this branch of work has been mar
Vicious. The Worlds Student Christian
Federation has been formed, embracing
bwenty-four different nations of the
world, all working to extend the king
dom Of Christ.
The speaker contends that nothing
since Christ was on earth has done
so much good. The students carry more
than ordinary influence. They are the
men, in majority of cases, who grow
up to be the brains of the nation. The
federation has an influence on the work
Of foreign missions as well, especially in
Japan and China, where it can readily
De seen that young man brought up
in the midst of a community can have
more influence with his associates than
man to whom the language and Gus
toms of the country are unknown.
The Christian influence has been a.
good thing for the colleges. At the
present time college life is not looked
upon as full of pitfalls for the unwary,
but safer place for the young man
than most of our cities.

In discussing Gov Wolcotts recon-
mendation for an increase of the sal
aries of justices of the supreme and
superior courts, the Springfield Re-
publican prints a table of salaries paid
the chief justices of the supreme court
in twenty-four states, including all
New England. According to this
statement, the highest salary is paid
by New York, 81, 500; New Jersey, sec
ond, 100000; Pennsylvania, third, $500;
Massachusetts, fourth, $780, Illinois,
fifth, $1,000. In many, perhaps most,
cases, the associate justices are paid
$500 less than the chief justice. No
doubt it is true in other states, as in
New York, where the justices are cleo
tive, a handsome subscription to the
campaign fund is expected, so that the
actual emoluments of office are smaller
than the figures quoted seem to repre-
sent. 1t is to be remembered, how
ever, that courts of other states have
not all the same high standing of the
Massachusetts, judiciary, and that
when judgeship is political office, as
in most of the states cited above, it Of
fers peculiar inducements to men of
ability and ambition. Massachusetts
judges retire from politics and there
after practically relinquish all expecta-
ton OF promotion.

TOOK THE TIP,
But Chinaman Is Now Sor-
ry He Tod Police.

Sergt. McMurray, with Officers
Burke, O'Connor, Williams and Della
ney of Station /, raided the Chinese
laundry at 1876 Mechanic street, about
O'Clock last night, and arrested nine
Cinnamon found in the place, on the
charge of being present at a game.
The party proved more than a load
for the patrol wagon, and three of the
number were obliged to walk to the
station house. There the party regis
tered as Frank Lookin, %; Dee Foe, %;
Chin Quie. 26; Sam Wah, So; Moy Hing,
so; Gin Lee, SO; Chin Kim, So; Chin
Bing, Al, and Chin Cook, 80 years old.
With the exception of Frank Lookin,
who has discarded the clothing of his
people and claims to work in a Boston
tea store, the men are Worcester laun-
drymen.
The game in question was fan tan,
played with bright red beans as a
slight variation from the usual card
or button game When the officers en-
tered the party was gathered about the
table, manipulating the beans after a
fashion known only to the celestial.
There was money on the table, and
what was not got out of the way was
seized, with quantity of the beans,
and taken to the station house.
A funny thing in connection with the
raid is that one of the party called at
the Waldo street station house a few
weeks ago and wanted the officers to
raid the place. He explained the game
as played with dominoes, for the benefit
of the officers, and finally went out.
Last night he was one of the first men
noticed about the table
The Cinnamon were we'll provided
with funds and put up the necessary
bail fees to admit of their staying
away from the station house until
court sits this morning

ing with them 1000 bicycles and $50
wagons. These are semi-civilized In
dams, with a tribal government of their
own and a joint capitalization of $425,
900. They are tired of the annoyances
of neighboring tribes and wearied of
the maltreatment at the hands of the
United States government. The Creeks;
alone are said to have bought 5000
acres of land in Mexico, and each of
the three tribes will have its own ter
ritory and its own tribal government
under the patronage of the Mexican re-
public. Perhaps the United States
government will not be sorry to be rid
of their company, but whether the en-
igrants will be any better off in their
new home than in that which they are
leaving may be open to doubt. The
chief point of interest is the fact of the
emigration, which indicates that en-
ergy and enterprise have not deserted
the Indian character.

OPERA AND COMEDY.

Under Sealed Orders" which has
been winning golden opinions in Boston
all last week, comes to the Worcester
Theatre this evening for a stay of three
nights. The play was written by James
w. Harkins and displays all that bril-
liant young authors fecundity of i'm
agination and ingenuity in devising
startling and original situations. Lo-
cal pride is not the only reason that
sends Worcester people to see Harkins'
dramas, for they are always intensely
exciting and written with a keen sense
of the dramatic in every word Maurice
Freeman, great favorite here, is CO.
partner with the playwright in this en-
terprise, and plays the leading part,
that of sardonic, cynical and clever
villain, with miraculous hypnotic skill.
Tonight at Lothrops Opera House
the Milton Aborn Opera Company be-
gins its weeks engagement with 1.-THE
Isle of Champagne" comic opera

The Chicago Inter Ocean shows a dis
position to champion the cause of SEN
ator Quay. 1t says Mr. Quay is sim
ply experiencing the common lot of
practical politicians who are aggressive
and successful. His long line of vic
tories has been won by hard, bold fight
ing and not by placating the opposi-
ton. He is a soldier, not courtier.
Inc concentration of hostility upon
him is a survival Of the animosity of
the featherweight and the mugwump

IS fair sample of the "stalwart in
politics" the term is likely to become
one of reproach.

Henry c. Ide of vermont, IrUT9Tl5T

fine figure of a man, in fact the best

all wrong to veto the will of the people

know more about this affair, however
when the official reports come in. The
newspaper reports are contradictory

DISREGARD OF HUMAN LIFE,
To the Editor of The SPY:

To the Editor OF The Spy:
For week past many acres of open
water have been left night and day by
the Harrington G. Garfield Ice Com
pany with no sign or token of existing
danger. Every day there are more or
less skaters disporting upon the ice of
the lake, and often into the late night
hours. Many OF the jewellers upon the
Shrewsbury side cross the lake in the
evening, and not n few OF the club
men are likewise exposed because the
ice company neglect to provide lights
to warn and to ward off such as would
be and are otherwise exposed. They
have put out two lanterns, but that was
worse than nothing, as 1t indicates that
there and only there is the danger.

HAS A LEASE ON LIFE.
Filing of Petition for Sale of Summer
Street Church viii Be Deferred.

The Summer Street Congregational
Church is assured a further lease of life
by the decision of counsel for the City
Missionary Society to postpone the fill
ing of the petition for the sale of the
church property until such a time as a
definite purchaser is secured.
A conference was held with Judge
Forbes last week, and he suggested that
the petition be filed only at such time
as the society was fully assured that
the property would be bought Judge
FORBES has been solicitious in the case
owing to the fact that when the first
petition was filed several years ago, and
the petition granted by the court, the
property was not sold
AT the present time the number OF
people who are in the field for the pur-
chase of the property is small. There
have been several who have had the
building under consideration

A meeting of the general committee
appointed by the different divisions of

The Order Passed BY Last Years City
Council Nay Never carried Our.
The condition of the asphaltina mall
in the rear of the city hall is not only
open to criticism but calls attention to
the order for smooth paving on the
west side of Main street from Austin to
Walnut, which passed the city council
last year. No contract was ever signed
for the carrying out of the work, and
the chances are none will be signed 1t
is a question Of law if the order was
void after it's passage because there was
no money in the street construction APP
preparation to perform the work. Mayor
Rufus 3. Dodge, Jr., has taken that
stand on other orders which have been
passed when there was no money with
which to carry out the order.
