choir, but that he is aware FIR. Wrenn
intends to have choir from the French
congregation.
The present trouble has shown to no
small extent how great is the influence
of The Spy. Besides the fact that al
most every individual in town now re-
allies the falsity of FIR. Berger's
stand, it is a peculiar fact that L'Opin-
ion Publique and a Worcester morning
paper a few days ago fell into line
with the stand that The Spy was the
first newspaper to take, and tonight
Worcester evening paper came to the
front with an article showing up FIR.

Despite reports to the contrary, there
is very little likelihood that the dem
oCrats of this town will run candi-
date for representative. Last night the
democratic town committee met to talk
the situation over but could see no
light in the darkness. At present there
is not the slightest intention of pre-
senting candidates at the convention,
and it is extremely probable that there
will be no opposition to the senatorial
and representative nominees of the re-
publican party.
The name of Fred NJ. Ashby has been
presented in print as probable candi-
date, hut Mr.. Ashby, who ought to
know. today said that he is not a can
didate in any sense of the word, and
that he has not the slightest intention
of running for the office of representa-
tive. The same is true of Selectman
John J. Howard
If however, both f. Allen Harwood
and George r. Hamant, who are trying
for the republican nomination, should
continue in the running the democrats
might decide to nominate a man. There
is a probability that both of these men
may carry the contest to the limit as it
has developed into a neck and neck
race, and the friends of Mr.. Hamant,
who so freely predicted a wall1over a
few weeks ago, are now in possession
of the knowledge that they are up
against a strong candidate in the per-
son of E. Allen HARDWOOD. Should both
men remain in the contest the demo-
Gratis believe there would be a chance
to squeeze in, but otherwise the dis
trict is heavily republican.
AS dark as the proverbial Styx river
We're the streets of North Brookfield
last night and pedestrians who were
out much after 8 o'clock suffered there
by. The moon was scheduled to shine,
but before 10 o'clock it had gone into
mourning, and all the light that a pass
er-by could get by which to guide him
self was an occasional glimmer from
some hospitable home. In the center of
the town w. B. Gleason's store doomed
up out of the darkness as a sort of bea-
con light, but everywhere else was
darkness. Not even an accommodating
will-o' -the-Wisp made its appearance,
while belated travellers awaited them
selves of lanterns wherever they could
procure them.
The baseball season, as far as North
Brookheld is concerned is at an end.
Manager M. E. Howard has been UNI
able to get a game with Barre as the
Barre management expects to play a
worcester aggregation, and could not
entertain the local players The sea-
son has been a somewhat checkered one
with the local team whose success has
been varied, even though there was
material for a strong team if it could be
properly brought together

Express Agent B. NJ. Rich liberated
about dozen carrier pigeons at the
depot this morning and the maneuvers
of the birds as they gracefully circled
to get their bearings were noticed by
many people. The pigeons are soon
to be sent to Maine and We're sent here
so that they might be given trial.
They circled gracefully for va short
time, made their way southwark to
Fosters hill, and then headed directly
for Worcester, from whence they came.
