Lincoln ]. Carter's Chattanooga"
will be seen at the Crawford theater
Monday night. Mr.. Carter always has
something novel Of a pictorial charac-
ter to embellish his plays and in Chat
tanooga" he sends a locomotive from
the Confederate to the Union lines with
important dispatches. To make this
perilous expedition the more exciting,
on the locomotive the hero and william
struggle for the mastery. A scenic To-
connective stands in the center of the
stage headed away from the audience
as if it was at the entrance of a tun-
mel. The appearance of motion is given
by the use of a biograph, which throws
a panorama on the back drop and the
locomotive seems to be rushing. AS it's
progress is accompanied by puffs of
smoke and steam and the noise of the
rails the effect is realistic.
The concert by the Twentieth Kansas
band, advertised for the night of the
reception day, will be given at the
night.

TROUBLE AHEAD.
Cotton Thread Trust May
Not Have Easy
Sailing.

The9ootton thread trust has begunaso
soon to have troubles other than come
from the taking over Of plants and Kha
flotation Of its capital. 1t Is to3hn4sa
competition of the sharpest kind an@a9
the hands of as shrewd cotton MANU.
facturers as there are4fn New England.
Moreover, the very machinery that the
American company bought with The
concerns that it acquired IS to be used
in this connection, while the man who
made the business that IL bought at SO
large an outlay of money, are to super
intend at least two rival plants. These
three statements do not apply to sim
gle venture. but to three separate ones.
When the Harris Privilege mill prop
erty at Woonsocket was sold recently.
conjecture was rife as to the use to
which 1t would be put, 1t Is now an
nounced that the purchase was made in
behalf of syndicate, of which Charles
Fletcher of Providence and Fales &
Jenckes, the textile machinery builders
of Pawtucket, are the moving spirits.
The plan is to equip the mill with a
large number of spindles, said to be
100000 establish a finishing department,
and turn out sewing thread to compete
with the arnalgaIn ated mills of the Arr
erican Thread Company. There is no
lack OF money behind the enterprise, it
Is said. and tho names that are given
as promoting 1t would indicate as
much. Mr.. Fietcher's success as a cot
ton manufacturer, and his known abil-
ity in the management of large inter-
ests. bespeaks a successful issue for the
venture. The advantage which this
mill will have over the plants absorbed
by the trust, in the way of new ma
chinery and expert management, wilI
count greatly in its favor. The superin-
tendent of one of the most successful
of the concerns absorbed by the Aner1-
can company has been secured to mRn-
age this rival mill, while it Is expected
that thread that Is not made by trust
will appeal to the popular mind just
now in a way that will mean reader
sales than could be expected OF new
product under ordinary circumstances.
Then, again. Floyd GPanslza. a. yarn
manufacturer, who previous to the or-
ganization of the American Thread
Company, supplied the finiShers with
large quantities of materiaa Tor thread.
has just acquired the machinery OF the
Glasgow Thread Company ia TINS city,
which was bought by the trust In pur-
suance of It's policy to secure all out
side concerns. Having closed up the
mill, it sold the machinery, and in the
possession of Mr.. Cransla it will be op-
Grated as a competing plant with the
supply of yarn coming from his Con-
necticut MILL An ex-superintendent OF
trust mill will manage this plant also.

AT THE THEATRES.
Attractive Bills at Both the Worcester
and Park Theatres.

anc Hark tneatfeS.
Both the local playhouses that are
open will have a special matinee in hon
or of the day. The Worcester theatre
will have at o'clock an extra per-
Torrance of THE turtle the farce
which New York has been laughing at
and discussing all the past year. The
play is excellently cast and costumed,
and will be given here a production
identical with the metropolitan one.
Both the day and the play will bring
large audiences to the theatre, audi
ences that should be all the larger from
the fact that this is the last booking at
the house for eight days.
THE turtle scintillates with wit.
bristles with screaming farcical situa-
lions and is purely Partisan in it's piq-
uancy. 1t is acted by American players
of distinction, with French finesse. 1t
is both artistic and audacious 1t is
deft, but daring, and in no manner,
shape or form offends the most exact
ing, The sale of seats already gives
every indication of becoming a record
breaker; applications for seats being by
no means confined to this city, but from
all the surrounding towns are requests
coming both thick and fast.
The Park will give three perform
ances today, beginning at l. and s. Mil
ton and Dollie Mobiles, in their hit Of
last year, why Walker reformed p"
are the headliners, and there are eight
other numbers to run them close in the
! race for popularity. The yitagraph is
retained.
H. V. Fitzgerald, known as the Am
erican Fregoli will present a novel
lightning change act, representing no
less than 20 characters himself. This
artist comes direct from Proctor S
| pleasure palace, New York, where he
scored an immense success.
| The balance of the bill is made up Of
Nellie Burt, clever soubrette; Frazer
and Forman, in comedy sketch; Ethel
Moore and the Darktown quartet; Zim-
mer the juggler, in a new act and the
American vitagraph, presenting new
list. of views.
The Worcester theatre program con-
tains a wood cut of four elderly men,
apparently of bucolic attributes, all sit
ting cross-legged, with the same ex-
preston of appreciative enjoyment
There is also a statement from Manager
Wendelschaefer that the picture is a
puzzle, and that he will give season
ticket to each of the first five f4ldivid-
uals who hand in at the box Office the

tive Honors.

Liability of Brisk Fight for Leeisla.
tive Honors.
Matters political presented a calm
surface yesterday. The Guild Bates
contest continues a favorite topic of
conversation, and while there were no
formal meetings yesterday, supporters
of the former appeared in high glee
over what they considered a chilly re-
ception given Hon. John L. Bates, Sat
urday night.
Guild men were encountered on ev-
cry hand who appeared in a jubilant
mood, and reiterated the statements
they have made thus far in the cam
paign that Bates men are a very scarce
article in Worcester.
The Bates supporters rake different
view of the matter, and claim more
strength in the gathering in Horticul-
tural hall Saturday night than would
result from many gatherings twice the
size. The weather and day of the week
are taken into consideration. On the
whole. they see nothing discouraging
in the incident.
The candidacy Of George w. B. Sis
son for legislative honors in ward G
may develop something of fight
Friends of Mr.. Sisson say his chances
bright, and that the result in the ward
will be in line with success of the Guild
faction. 1t has been claimed that Mr.
SiSson is a comparative stranger in the
ward, and that this fact alone will be
heavy obstacle to overcome But
as a matter of fact, Mr.. Sisson was
born and grew up as boy in the
sixth ward, and has as large an ac-
quaintance there as in any portion OF
the city. Some interesting develop
ments are anticipated in this ward
Down in ward 5, republicans claim
John c. Hagberg will go back to the
legislature without an effort, but if ar
effort is necessary his friends will work
day and night in his cause
In ward there are ominous rum
blings which will eventually result in
strong opposition to the candidacy OF
David Manning, who, up to the present
time, is the only one to have accom-.
plished any amount of work in the
ward. James B. Mirick is assured of the
support of his friends, and there is an
other claim that Arthur M. Taft will be
back in the ranks within short time.

1t looks as though an additional ap-
