STIRRING SPEECHES
Mark the Most Impressive
Exercises.

Exercises of a notably impressive ma
eure marked the presentation of the
marble bust of Lieut.. Edmund N.

distinguished audience gathered to do

who gave up his life so unfalteringly
during the recent war, and to partici-
pate in the ceremonies of presentation,
which were of very elaborate nature
The program of exercises included a

addresses by Mayor Rufus s. Dodge
Jr.. and Chairman John T. Duggan. NJ.

Chorus music by the hundreds of pu-

a friend in Philadelphia, yesterday, in
which it was stated that the two visits
of the w. H. S. crew to Philadelphia
had caused a boom in rowing among
the school boys of Philadelphia. The
students there do not propose to allow
Worcester to have all the honor in the
way of scholastic rowing, and already
some of the Philadelphia high schools
have begun training. Candidates for
the Central high schools boat We're
started in this week, and to the first
call no less than 81 men responded. The
trainer there, DIR. J. Duncan Spaeth, is
following the Worcester system of
training, and the men are being worked

now, if he should look down upon
this scene, his soul is the last to wish
any change in his life and in his death.
AS Lincoln said in mortal words, he
gave the last full measure of devotion
to his country. VINO shall say that the
city, the state, the country, are not
the better for his existence? His death
was eloquence itself; and from the be-
ginning to the end of his life there is
no spot or place to which our city can
not point as worthy example to our
sons.
At the conclusion of Mayor Dodge's

Principal Lewis of the school and de-
livered the grafton of the day, which
was very eloquent and memorable eff
fort that paid a touching tribute to
the manliness and courage of the dead
soldier and tracing his career with
careful minuteness. The address was
in part as follows:

Though with Abraham we may seek

made those pallid cheeks redden with
health, when the glazed eye sparkled

gladness.

sion When Asked an Embar-
RAISING Question.

The late Isaac Bromley, noted ed
itoria writer, was "cool, calm and col
lected." Seldom was he put into place
so tight that his NERVE did not dis
close an open door. The New Haven
Register tells this story of the way he
once saved himself: BROMLEY was
lecturing before a local institute in
Litchfield county, Connecticut, upon a
trip he had recently made to California
and the Yosemite valley, and concluded
with a beautiful description of the
Bridal Veil falls, which so charm all
who visit them. AS he took his seat
he was surprised to see the man who
had presided over the meeting step
forward and say: In accordance with
our usual custom we shall now be glad
to hear any questions that the lecturer
may be desired to answer in relation
to the subject upon which he has been
talking At this tall, red headed man
rose in the audience, and with a rasp-
ing voice said: L would like to ask the
lecturer the exact height of the Bridal
Veil.' Bromley, VINO had expected
nothing of this kind, and was never
strong in figures, was entirely taken by
surprise, but gave no sign thereof as he
rose and advanced to the front of the
platform and coolly answered: L did
not measure them, but as nearly as l
can remember the exact height is 361
feet 9h inches No further questions
were asked"

New Booth Boat.

It is reported that the Booth COM
pany has fully determined to put on
another boat next year in the North
shore trade. The company seriously
contemplated doing SO last spring. The
Dixoneis doing big business, and pro-
spective passengers have postponed trips
to North shore ports in some cases be-
cause they could not get accommoda-
tions. A head Of the lakes man has
been asked by the Booth people to pre-
pare plans for new boat.Duluth
News Tribune.
This report has been current each year
for several years. A new and larger boat
is very much needed on this run, there
being more freight and passengers than
the Dixon can handle. We hope that
the Booth Go. will see fit to put on an
other boat. z~ = -

BANKS HAVE USE FOR MONEY.
Way in Which Big Financial In stAtu-
tions Manage to Pay Dividends
to Shareholders.

Many people wonder how banks use
all the money deposited in them and
how they manage to pay interest there
on and yet come out at the end of the
year with big profit on the business,
says the New York Telegram.
What they do is trade with the money.
To the depositor they pay between one
and two per cent, but the money they
lend brings them in three, five, six,
seven, and even eight per cent.
For instance, they give loans on all
sorts of securities, such as railway de-
bentures, government stock, public
company shares, dock warrants, bills
of lading, etc.
They also lend money on the Sc
curity of houses and land, but not to
great extent, as repayments are
slow.
When couple of substantial business
men or farmers or professional men
back a bill the bank often lends without
any security at ALL but now and again
they have heavy and ruinous losses on
these loans.
All banks, however, have large sums
of money constantly lying idle, for they
must keep sufficient cash at the various
branches to pay checks, and even to be
more or less prepared for panics. Still,
the difference between the one or two
per cent. they pay and the three or
eight they receive on millions of dol
lars leaves them an immense profit on
the years business.

BROKERS AT THE BAT.
The Hibbs Hitters Do Up the Gurley
Giants II to q.

Intense excitement and the greatest ri
valry characterized the game of baseball
between the teams representing the firms
of w. B. Hibbs & Co. and w. b. Gurley &
Co., all stock brokers, which was played
before a large crowd at Van Ness Park
yesterday afternoon. Every feature of the
game was watched with as much interest
by the brokers and bankers who were
present as is paid to the fluctuations OF
the stock market. Tickers and the rise
and fall of stocks were forgotten in the ex-
element of the occasion.
Men who have witnessed the widest
speculation and the most sensational col
lapses of the market without displaying the
slightest emotion, yelled and rooted yes
terday until they were hoarse. AS each
player was called to the bat cries of 'Ten
shares of Brooklyn for a hit" Line her
out and I'll put you in the market" and
like EXPLANATIONS, We're heard from the
admirers of the respective teams. And in
deed the game was exciting from start to
finish.
1t was anybody's victory until the last
man was out in the ninth inning AL
though the final score stood II to in ia
vor OF Hibbs' hitters. the Gurley Giants
had them guessing TO the close OF the con-
test. The Hibbs team played on mar
gin up TO the fourth inning, when by
remarkable batting rally the score was
tied At this stage of the game the cap
tain of the Hibbs team registered gigan-
tic kick against the Legitimacy of several
of the players on the opposing nine This
resulted in the disqualification of several
of the Gurley players. who, it was claimed,
were professionals, or otherwise not en-
titled to play in game with gentlemen.
After this the Hibbs aggregation forged 10
the front with the result as indicated
above. Several times during the game the
Gurleys had the bases full, but were I'M
able to secure the necessary hit to score.
Kicks were frequent and at times the en-
tire crowd would take part in the excite
ment and try to play the game.
F. s. Smith, as field umpire, introduced
a new feature in this most responsible po-
sition. All of his decisions We're rendered
while comfortably seated in a chair near
first base, complacently smoking a Turk
ish cigarette and resting in the shade Of a
red parasol.
The bright particular stars of the game
were the two pitchers, who, If they had
been properly supported, would have
caused the score to have been much less on
both sides. The lineup Of the teams was
