no need to lick the hand that strikes one
as Ell Concrete would have the Span
iards do.
The Nueve Pals, a paper which
strongly fayors an American protecto-
rate, says: We are not so solitary in
urging a protectorate as some seem to
think. There are many who, like our
selves, desire practical solution of the
problem instead of a sentimental one.
Not a few who call loudly for indie
pendence and secretly INDUCING fears
as TO what would follow independence.
A proteotorate is desired by a large
proportion of the Cuban people, includ-
ing some Of the best informed and most
respectable. Perhaps a protectorate
would be given at the elections. as most
advantageous solution, shortening
the period of the intermediate stage of
construction and harmonzing the on
posing parties, advocating annexation
and independence.
If Cuba becomes free and her own
government fails to justify it's existence.
then there will be no outcome but an
nexation, whereas, by choosing a pro
tectorate now, when our choice would
be uptrammeled, our national dignity
would be preserved. A protectorate
would supply it absolute guarantees of
law and order, which independence
could not give.

Illness Will Compel
His Withdrawal
From Politics.
MANNING HAS A CLEAR FIELD.
Guild and Bates Workers
Are Quiet on the
Sabbath.

Benjamin Booth of 26 Kingsbury
street was stricken yesterday with an
illness that will prevent his carrying on
the contest for nomination for repre-
sentative in ward Z.
Mr.. Booth was discovered in help
less condition early yesterday morn
ing when awakened by members of his
family. DR.. M. B. Finn was called,
and while Mr.. Booth is considered out
of danger at present, his physician does
not consider it wise for him to attempt
carrying out the plan of campaign as
mapped out by his friends.
Mr.. Booth returned Friday from a
trip abroad. His relatives noticed that
he did not appear in his usual health,
but as he made no complaint little was
thought of the matter until yesterday.
Mr.. Booth is 6S years old, and under Or
binary circumstances enjoys remarka-
bly, good health.
News of his illness comes in the ma
ture of a surprise to his friends, many
of whom had not seen him since his re-
turn. A strong feeling exists-in ward
that he would have been a successful
candidate for the legislature, in fact,
one of the more enthusiastic expressed
an opinion yesterday that David Man
ming would have drawn out of the con-
test as soon as Mr.. Booths candidacy
was fairly started.
From the present outlook, however,
Mr.. Manning is the only candidate in
the field, but there will be others no
doubt, as soon as the fact of Mr..
Booths inability to run for the office
becomes known. Just who the man will
be has not been determined. A man
looked upon as leader in Mr.. Booths
support said last night that he was I'M
able to think of a man in the ward who
cared for the office aside from candi-
| dates already mentioned.
Yesterday was a quiet one with the
| Guild and Bates factions. One Bates
supporter said that supporters of the
ex-speaker would not break the Sab
bath in the interest of any man, and
| from what could be learned the same
sentiment existed among the Guild
| forces.
Ward 3, which has been considered
| one of the doubtful wards, is said to
show marked evidence of being in IA
vor of Gen, Guild. A prominent poll
tician from the third ward said yester-
day that the ward might be placed in
| the Guild column, 8 to l.

Posse of Policemen Raid Fifty Sa-
looms and Capture 400 Gambling
Devices.
Philadelphia, Aug. 27.-Sheriff Sell of
Camden county, N. j., with 40 police
men sworn in as deputies, today raided
so saloons in Gloucester and captured
400 gambling devices of the slot ma
chine order. The raids were planned
and directed by D. c. Gibboney, secre-
tary of the Law and Order Society of
this city, who has been collecting evil
dence for some time past
In nearly every case the officers met
with resistance, and as a result more
than dozen men are in the hospital,
some injured so badly that their recov-
cry is doubtful. Knives, pistols and
blackjacks were freely used, the pa
irons of the various saloons being I'M
der the impression that the police were
there to arrest them.
While portion of the raiders struE-
gled with the crowds the remainder
seized all the gambling machines in the
places and carried them to the patrol
wagons in waiting. No arrests were
made but it is said the proprietors of
the saloons raided will be prosecuted
later. Gloucester is a resort on the Del
aware river about six miles below this
city, and is known as a wide OPEN
town. The saloons have always done a
f1ourishing business on Sunday, and to-
days raids We're the first step towards
closing them

and that North Brookfield had an easy
victory if this had been done.

Worcester and Worcester county So
'ciety are all agog just now over the
coming marriage of Lieut.. Arthur JOY
Draper, son of Gen. and Mrs. William
#. Draper of Hopedale, to Miss Lily
Duncan VOORHEES, of Lexington, Ky.
Cards announcing the marriage were
received in Worcester yesterday. The
ceremony is to be at noon, Thursday,
Sept. Z, at Christ Church cathedral in
Lexington, and will be an event of
particular significance in the social
world.
1t was not many months ago that
Miss Lily VOORHEES, came from her
Kentucky home to visit her cousin,
Mrs. George Otis Draper, in Hopedale,
and in three weeks time the girls
father, Charles H. VOORHEES,, received
a letter asking for the hand of his
daughter in marriage. The letter came
from Lieut.. Arthur J. Draper.
Consultations were in order between
members of the family at frequent in
tervals for several days. The father
did not wish to give up his child, so
young and beautiful, and who had
known her rich and handsome soldier
sutton for only three short weeks.
In the battlef1elds of Cuba Lieut..
Draper became firm friend Of Lieut..
Gordon VOORHEES,, brother of Miss Voor-
HES. Here, also he met Lieut. Gorge
Duncan, whose connection with the
Diapers BY a previous marriage is well
known. when the father wavered a
little, the two young lieutenants from
the south sent their letters of commen-
dation regarding the son of Ambassador
Draper, and the martial suitor's happi-
ness was made complete
Miss Lily Duncan VOORHEES,, Lieut..
Diapers betrothed, is now 10 years old.
Ambassador Draper was himself mar
ried toa Kentucky girl; his brother
George Albert Draper, and the am
oassador's son, George Otis Draper
found sweethearts in "Old Kentuck. D
Now Lieut.. Draper follows suit

to Italy, is now at home for the purpose
of attending the wedding.
Mrs. Draper, the woman of whom
there has been more gossip than about
any other woman of the foreign diplo
matte corps, was born Miss Preston of
Kentucky. Always a pretty girl, she
developed into q remarkably striking
woman, and when she met Gen. Draper
of Massachusetts,, then a widower of
some years, he fell in love with her.
The marriage was the beginning of a
series of brilliant weddings between the
Diapers of New England and the
Prestons of the Blue Grass State. All
the Draper brothers-sisters and cou-
sins and sons and daughters-fell in
love with Preston sons and daughters,
and marriage after marriage followed.
The two families are now absolutely
Joined in double relationship, equaled
only by royal matches. Yet they were
in no way related before the weddings,
and it is now a new union of north and
south.
Mrs Draper, after a series of social
triumphs in Boston and New York,
went abroad to the court of Humbert.
Here she made the most striking sue
cess. In beauty she excelled the queen,
being younger and much more regular
in feature, though Marguerite is hard
to beat, even among her own--and she
is of family of beautiful women.
Mrs. Diapers life in Italy has been
extremely brilliant. She has deported
herself as might be expected from a
high-bred southern woman, with ease
and with propriety. Accustomed to the
service of many servants, she knew the
ordering of a household and understood
the duties of the large retinue with
which she was Immediately supplied
Used to the homage of southern gall
lants, she knew how to receive that of
the attaches of the court Nothing
dismayed her; nothing turned her head.
1t is unlikely that the Prestohs of Ken
lucky knew that their daughter would
some time occupy so important posi-
tlon, but had they known it they could
not nave prepared her more thoroughly
for her social duties abroad

BLOW Dealt by conservatives OtTuSN
Emperor William Hard.
Berlin, Aug. 27.-The political situa-
ton last week was highly interesting.
The unexampled defeat of the govern
ment in the diet, which, after his en-
phatic utterance at Dortmund, was
personal defeat for Emperor William,
has engrossed attention to the exclusion
of almost everything else. The fact
that the blow was dealt by the conser-
catives, a party which has been favored
and nurscd for generations at the eX-
pense of every other psrty, made the
event all the more sensational.
The absence of his majesty 2omplicat-
ed the situation, for the cabinet and
the emperor not having expected the
rejection of the canal bill, no provision
was made as to what steps the govern
ment would take in such an event. At
ter the final vote both Prince Hohanlone

Concord. N. H., Aug. 27.--In the we'll
remembered church on the hill, the
chapel in the pines, or the more mod

were held today throughout the state,
appropriate religious services as a part
of the Observance of Old Home week.
Former pastors occupied pulpits where
in days gone by they had expounded
the doctrine, past members of the
choir sought the singers seats and
Joined in the old tunes, while the mem
bers of the congregation again sat in
the old pews and recalled the Sundays
of their childhood days. Nearly every
church in the state had a congregation
composed more or less of seeming
strangers, but who. in reality, were old
members. The services were greatly
enjoyed by all, and in nearly every
case the weeks observance was the
theme Of the days sermon.
