STUDENTS DAY.
Many Young Men Leave
the City to Study for
the Priesthood.

Yesterday was students day at Union
depot. Trains on all roads contained re-
turning college and preparatory school
students. Afternoon trains from the
west were delayed and received their
influx of students from western lines
on which traffic was exceptionally
heavy.
The Las train yesterday afternoon
from Springfield and the west was one
hour and forty-five minutes late. Three
special Pullman cars contained WelIes-
ley college students from the western
states. The 4,SS train pulled in from the
west II minutes late, Sixty Groton
school boys armed with golf clubs and
yells made things lively until the 5
o clock train for Groton pulled out.
A party of 200 or more relatives and
friends assembled at the Union station
last evening to bid farewell and god
speed to number of young men who
boarded the SAT train on the F4tchburg
road en- route for Montreal where they

FOOT BALL ACCIDENT.
c. Allen Lyford Sustains a Broken
Collar Bone in the Tech Practice.

c. Allen Lyford Sustains Broken
Collar Bone in the Tech Practice.
Foot ball practice at Tech yesterday
resulted in the first serious accident of
the year at the institute c. Allen Ly-
ford, a member of the freshman class,
was playing in the scrub team against
the first eleven. Capt. Walsh made a
line play, and in the scrimmage, Lyford
had his collar bone broken.
The police ambulance was summoned,
and DR.. Francis Shaw, ambulance sur
geon, applied bandages. Before leaving
the field Lyford's broken collar bone
was held in place by George Delaney,
who assisted the surgeon. Lyford was
removed to his home $40 Pleasant street
and last night he was reported as rest
ing comfortably.
Lyford was graduated from English
high school last June, and during his
high school course was well known
among the athletes. He was a pro-
missing distance runner and also was a
conceded point winner in hurdle events
in school contests,
There was speculation galore at Tech
yesterday regarding the probable line
up for the game with Worcester Aca-
DENY at the oval Saturday. Coach Put
nam and Capt. Walsh will probably
pick the team after today's practice,
although there will be no recognized
first eleven until some of the likely can
ddates have been given try out in a
game The following men are promis-
ing candidates: Willis Truesdale.
Hawkes., Norcross, Eames, Jordan,
Reed. Meslar Birge. Maynard, Lane,
Perkins, Simpson Davis, Loft, Wood.
Capt. Walsh is sure of place behind
the line. Meslar has been the favorite
for full back, and Loft for the other
half. Sam Willis at quqarter is show

French Paper Says
He Should Be
Prosecuted.
NO EXCITEMENT IN PARIS.
Dreyfus' Pardon Expected
and Populace Refuse
to Enthuse.

Paris, Sept. 19.-The council of min
listers decided today to pardon Drey-
fus in principle. The pardon will take
effect in few days. Dreyfus has re
hnquished his appeal for a reversal Of
the Judgment of the court martiaL II
is said that Dreyfus will be sent abroad,
before the PRONUNCIATION of his pardon,
in order to avoid demonstrations.
I'm principle" is an idiom sometimes
used in semi-official announcements of
Forthcoming action. 1t seems to have
out slight bearing on the matter, ex-
cept, perhaps that it implies the full
filment of various formalities before the
pardon.
The decision. to pardon Dreyfus Gre
ated less excitement in Paris than was
generally expected. In fact, it may be
said that 1T caused no excitament WHAT
ever. There was no riotfng ON the
boulevards. In front of the offices of
the Libre Parole, where a crowd usually
assemblies in the evening to gaze upon
the huge colored tpansparencies out
side the windows of the leading anti
Semitic organ, there was not the slight
est gathering or the faintest sign of a
demonstration either for or against
Dreyfus.
OHe WOulu tnlnk that the fire of the
Dreyfus agitation had burnt itself out.
The -Dreyfusard evening papers
made rabid attack upon President
Loubet, but their efforts were futile.
The peaceful crowds that filed the ia
bles in front of the cafes, slipping their
after-dinner coffee and cognac looked
at the newsboys who displayed the
front pages of these sheets with their
violent headlines, but utterly refused to
get excited. The majority did not even
discuss the matter or only made the
passing remark that the decision was
just what has been expected and pre-
dlcted by every Partisan newspaper
since the Rennes court martial deiiy-
cred its verdict
The anti-DreyfuSard newspaper, LIE
So1r, had the most sensational caption,
Two lines of enormous letters extending
across the entire second page announce
ing The traitor Dreyfus pardoned-
outrage on the army" Then, in the
course of an article violently attacking
President Loubet, it said: "Loubet has
given himself a coup de grace in par
doning Dreyfus. He should be prose-
| cuted for committing an outrage upon
the army for his decision amounts to
this. By a stroke of the pen he has de-
stroyed the effect of the sentence of
two court martials and has decided
that two military courts have Eed'

SOUTH WORCESTER PARK.
Three Sites Are Condsidered But None
Aereed Upon.

The question of desirable park site
is still matter of opinion in minds of
members of the South Worcester vii
lage Improvement society.
1t was thought that some definite re-
commentator might be made at last
nights meeting, but the evening was
given up to a discussion of various
sites and the entire matter of park sites
was finally referred back to the com
mlttee having the matter in charge
with instructions to investigate all de-
talls and report at a meeting Friday
night in the vestry of Hope church. The
matter of better police protection was
laid over until the next meeting.
The discussion last night brought out
the fact that there are two factions in
the society. Factions possessed of de-
cided views regarding their respective
preferences. On one hand are the men
who favor College hill and on the other
delegation who would have a park
nearer the center of the village.
George H Dutton, who owns a tract
of land on College hill, and j. r. Howe.
We're the principal advocates of the hill
site, speaking at some length on it's ad-
vantages and the number of people who
frequent the neighborhood at present.
terably opposed to the swamp site,
which was characterized as unhealthy
and to the John r. Thayer lot which is
prohibitive on account of the price
asked and on account of its surround
ings. He considered the John r. Thayer
land on the hill the ideal spot for a park
but as the price set by Mr. Thayer is
considered too high, he offered tract
comprising about 20 acres of his own
land. Mr.. Dutton is willing to accept
such price as the committee shall
judge fair.
Mr.. Midgley advocated the swamp
tract on account of it's proximity to the
center of the village. Arguing that men
after hard days work do not care to
climb the hill in order to reach a play
ground or park. He considered that the
swamp should be filled in any way and
that whether a park is granted or not
that this matter should be attended to-
Alexander Belisle, Jr., reported on the
swamp SITE stating that it is estimated
the tract would cost the city between
$20,0 and $4,000 aside from filing In
view of the difference of opinion, the
entire subject was referred back to the
committee with instructions to report
Friday night.
Aside from the desirability Of the hill
location it was argued that large park
might be established some day that
would form the connecting link to unite
Quinsigamond village and South Wor-
cester The wisdom of petitioning the
city council to have College street
worked to a width of 66 feet was also
advocated

fled of Adoption of Order of June z.
Substitute members of the fire de-
partment are wondering what has be-
come of the order passed by the city
council some months ago amending GER
tain rules Of the department relative to
compensation received by, substitute
members.
On recommendation of the board of
engineers, an order was prepared and
adopted June 7, providing for the
change, but through some misunder-
standing the rule as amended has never
been put in force. Before, the change
substitutes relied on fines imposed on
regular members of the company who
failed to answer alarms, for their
monthly stipend. By the change sub
stitutes should receive so cents for each
alarm answered
Recent inquiry develops the fact that
the engineers have never received Off
cial notification of the change and for
that reason the men have not received
the amount they should. The men will
lose nothing by the oversight. however,
as according to the opinion of city Off

contests were exciting. Particularly was
this the case in the ninth assembly dis

great crowd gathered and cheers We're
given. In the large hall on the first floor
there hung portrait of Richard Croker.
The crowd hooted the face Of the chief,
and then somebody yelled to tear it down.
Mr. Sheehan prevented the pulling down
of the portrait. The face of the picture
was however turned toward the wall.
Mr.. sheehan went down TO police head

picture into the street The crowd
eheered and yelled, and half dozen ora
