Literary Notes.

Mr.. Kipling's 1.-THE Days Work." pub
lshed by Doubleday & Mcclure Co., is
now in its eighty.second thousand.
A second volume by Mr. Dooley will be
published next September by Small, May
nard 6, Co. of Boston, who are the pub
fishers for Mr.. Dunno. The book will be
entitled "Mr. Dooley in the Hearts of
His Countrymen. 1t is pleasant to
learn that Mr.. Dooley in Peace and in
War" has reached it's filtieth thousand
BY the way, Mr.. Dunno has just sailed
for Europe on a well-earned vacation.
The two most astonishing hits Of the
year in the publishing world have been
david Harum" and I'm His Steps, and
both illustrate the curious chances Of
books. David Harum," a character
study Of shrewd country banker and
horse trader, was written as a first effort
by a banker in New York state, and was
published after his death. 1t was pleas
antly noticed by the critics as success
full portrayal of a type, but crude novel
and for a time, seemed to drop out o
sight. Then in some mysterious way
people began to read it and talk about
it, and though less has been writer
about it than about scores of less sue
cessful books-indeed there is not mucl
to write about tit has gone on its tri
umphal way till it stands proudly pre-
eminent as the best.selling book of thu
year, outstriping Rudyard Kipling's eth
Days Work." which held that position
1t is all the more pleasant to note thi
phenomenal success, because Mr.. West
colt lett very little other property to hi
family, and the returns from "Davi
Harum" will be most welcome.

HAMMERS ARE OUT
FOR The CHAIRMAN.
Members of Republican City Committee
Draw Up Document Censuring Chair
man Partridge and Requesting
His Resignation.

There was a meeting of certain mem
bers of the republican city committee
in the chairmans office at republican
headquarters last night, when a doc
ument was drawn up and signed CEN
surfing Chairman Leon Rice Partridge,
and it is understood requesting his res
ignation from the office of chairman of
the board.
There were present at the meeting, j.
Wesley Gray, Daniel A. Aver, Joseph
Leach, Harry E. Whitcomb, Arthur c.
Scott, Aldus c. Higgins Herbert A.
Booth. Charles E. Slocomb, Jr Walter
e. Gleason and William ]. Bragg. 1t
is understood that all of these men
signed me document as prepared.
After the meeting, members of the
committee declined to give out the do
lngs of the meeting, on the ground that
it would be unfair to give the matter
TO the public before the communication
had reached Mr.. Partridge. They said,
however, that the action had not been
the work of a moment, but instead the
result OF several meetings in which the
question at issue has been thoroughly
discussed. Further than this the COM
mittee was dumb.
Several other members of the COM
mittee have been approached on the
matter, but would have nothing to do
with it. leading member of the COM
mittee from ward six said last night
1es, l have heard of the matter but
dld not care to enter into it, as /
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-11-28

consider it a mean piece of business.
The idea of censuring a man or asking
him to resign his office at this time
of the year, especially when matters
have gone apparently as smoothly as
they have this year, is an action in
which | do not care to figure"
1t was stated last night that the de-
cided stand taken by Mr.. Partridge in
larging the city committee, in which
he asserted that delegates to the mu-
nicipal convention were men better fit
ted to judge of the advisabilIty of the
plan, than members of the committee,
is responsible for a part of the feeling.
Still others claim that he took too much
interest in some of the tickets put in
the field for ward committees at the
caucuSes.
However this may be, there is a spe-
cial meeting of the city committee
called for tomorrow night, to which all
candidates nominated for municipal Of
fees and their friends, are invited, and
it is said that the matter at issue will
be presented at that time. The object
of the meeting, as stated in the CALL
is to effect the appointment of large
rallying committees in every ward to
work for the success of the republican
candidates for all the city offices.
The object of the committee meet
ing last night was noised about early
in the evening, and proved a fruitful
topic of conversation among certain
politicians, who are specializing on the
outcome of this somewhat unusual
course of procedure.

PARK THEATRE.

The bill at the Park theatre this week
is full of novelties and hasn't a dull
line in it, since the manager made a
few changes after the afternoon per-
Torrance. Miss Ida Fuller the fire
dancer, who comes last on the bill, has
the prettiest act of the kind ever seen
in Worcester. The effects are entirely
novel AID startling, especially the bon
fire effect, in which she appears to be
standing in the modst of roaring flames
which send off sparks of all colors The
first of the dances she introduces is
called '"rhe spirit of the Storm" and
the quaint effects are produced by
means of two lanterns, carrying dis
solving views. The magic lily with
which she concludes her act, is pretty
conception, the lily being formed of her
voluminous draDeries, and as the GER
tain falls, it is filled with roses from
above.
Laura Joyce Bell and her company
have one-act comedy entitled MAX
ing a Night of It." which is by no means
bad. Eugene Ellsworth and Madge Burt
in Domestic Pets" also have a bright
sketch, in which the domestic pets con-
sisting of a live dog, "a stuffed cat and
the gardener, the latter character be-
ing taken by a young man who is too
bashful to have his name mentioned.
Julian Rose is a monologuist, but he
is good enough to have another title
He does a Hebrew character sketch
and, instead of talking in the conven-
tional Stage Jew dialect, he talks the
real thing and bears with him the
stamp Of the Ghetto. His songs are or
iginal and good. and especially a coon
song in Hebrew dialect is something
unusual.
Lolita and Fitz Roy Tobin in their
musical act, make decided hit, play
ing some difficult selections remarkably
we'll The Cebello twins, boy and a
girl, are marvels on the tight wire and
in tumbling, and the special feature of
their act is the grace and consummate
skill with which each evolution is per-
formed. Amos Hilton, the clown Jug
gler, has a good deal of foolishness
mixed up with his good tricks. Sidney
Deane, assisted by Harrington, sings
some illustrated songs in excellent
voice, and yesterday afternoon gave a
scene which he called the Mad must
clan"

WARD SEVEN MEN HOT.
Claim They Were Unfairly Used in the
Turn Down to johnson.

Claim They Were Unfairly Used in the
Turn Down to Johnson.
When the result of yesterdays mu-
nicipal convention was made known,
members of the ward seven delegation
We're inclined to express themselves in
rather strong language regarding the
fickleness of mankind and men inter-
ested III politics generally, but as the
day wore away they became cooler and
the most rabid statement in evidence
last night, was that ward seven had
been treated unfairly.
One man claims that the system OF
nominating aldermen is altogether
wrong, and that aldermen should be
nominated from each ward. Still an
other man, who was inclined to the be-
lief that the action of the convention
in turning down the seventh ward,
result III disrupting the republican vote
said that Mr.. Johnson should have put
forth some effort if he wanted the place
and that his inactivity may be blamed
in part for the result.
There was a rumor yesterday after
noon that an independent candidate
might be placed in the field, but lead
ers in the ward scout such an idea and
say it is preposterous. Mr.. Johnson
has said that he would abide by the
decision of the convention, and the
claim is that there is no other man
who will care to stand for the place
in the face of such heavy odds.

ADVANTAGES OF SMALL COLLEGES
Tells How He Regretted
Leaving His Worces-
ter Charge.

New York, Nov. 27-About $50 mem
bers of the New York Universalist
club attended the monthly meeting of
the club, which was held tonight, in
the Hotel st. Denis. A dinner followed
the meeting. Two guests of honor
were to have been present-the Rev.
Dr. Almon Gunnison, formerly pastor
of All Souls church of Brooklyn, late
pastor of the First Universalist church
in Worcester, Mass, and now president
of st. Lawrence university, and the
Rev. DR.. j. A. Garfield, pastor of the
Church of Our Father in Brooklyn.
DR.. GunrAN0n was in attendance and
presided but DR.. Garfield was kept
away by illness. Among the speakers
Rev. j. C. Adams. the Rev. DR.. Ira
Priest president of Buehtel college in
Akron, o., the Rev. Henry REESE and
]. r. Taber, NJ. D.
The topic of discussion was 1.-The re-
turn of the prodigals." DR.. Gunnison
in his address, which was the principal
one, talked at length about the advant-
ages which small colleges possess over
larger ones. Speaking of his own and
blllCI GOlltSCS III ILLS PAL LlCuIdI, ne Sdlu
that the men who attended them got
to be on intimate terms with their fell
lows and professors, and bonds of
friendship were formed that were never
broken while at the larger colleges
the circle of friendship was small. The
small colleges, he said, not only sup
piled demand, but they also created
demand, Isolation was often a fac
tor in the success of the smaller insti-
tutions
The denomination that best educated
its ministry and laity the speaker said,
would be the one that would command
the future. The very limitations of the
smaller colleges We're a source of
strength to them. St Lawrence, he
said, had in it mostly native stock and
that from New England.
The metal that takes the finest
polish and the best temper" he de-
clared, lis that from fine stock, and
there is no finer stock than that which
comes from old New England"
Speaking of himself, DR.. Gunnison
said that his 30 years of passionate had
been filed with JOY for him and that
he regretted to leave his church, even
to take the presidency of st. Lawrence.
but he regarded it as going to larger
and more productive fields. He spoke
in high terms of DR.. Garfield, who with
him was one of the founders of the
club.

wHIRLWIND FINISH.
Orr Loses White in the Closing Strings
of Their Bowling Match.

w. H Orr of the Casino alleys did
things to A. Fred White on those alleys
last evening in the finish of their candle
pin match When they began rolling 1t
was the last leg of a 20-string match. In
the first 10 games which had been rolled
at Monsey's alleys a week previous,
White gained lead of 90 pins. With that
handicap against him, Orr beat White
in the 10 games last evening by 122 pins
making the victory in the 20 string match
GO pins.
Orr started off with a vengeance. He
rolled three strings of over 100 for a
starter. In two strings he had overcome
Whites lead and was five pins to the
good. 1t was phenomenal bowling
Whites friends expected Orr would total
higher than their man on the Casino al
leys, for there he practices, but they
never thought he would do it in such a
manner. Orr didn't get a game below 81
while White had only four of the 10 above
that figure. Orr won seven of the 10
games. He lost the ninth string by falling
as he delivered the last ball. With 2 in
the ninth box he made spare in the
10th He wanted five pins on the spare
ball to beat out White As he let go the
ball he slipped on the floor and fell, He
got a single pin.
The match was for a gold watch. The
first half was rolled on Monsey's alleys,
Monday, of last week. Orr rolled in
wretched form. His work was beyond
understanding. as he averaged only 3
pins. White averaged SO. While bowlers
acknowledged Orr would win from White
on the Casino alleys. they thought the
lead of 50 would give White a good chance
to win. The result and the faliacy of their
predictions are shown by the following
table:

evening, and awaited the arrival of

lions do not indicate they are anxious
for a game with the Clermonts. The
Clermonfs claim a license to impeach
the action Of the Byrons, inasmuch as
the latter are making pretense of play
