"coURTED INTO COURT"

"Courted Into Court" at the Wor-
cestcr theatre, last night, is an up
roarious comedy with laugh all
the time And with all the fun, it
has a real plot, the courtship, mar
riage and final divorce of an actress by
young New York man. The play
was written by John ]. McNally. dra-
matte editor of the Boston Herald, and
much of the fun of the piece is due to
the authors work on the play, which is
full of brilliant repartee and side-split-
ting dialogues. The play opens in the
morning room of Dottie Dimple, the
actress, who receives a proposal OF
marriage from Worthington Wirth, Jr
The marriage is opposed by the young
mans mother. who sends Judge Jere-
n1iah Geoghan to offer to compromise
with the actress. Dottie Dimple then
decides to marry young Wirth out of
spite-and, besides, she rather likes him.
On account of a disagreement about
mothers-in-law. she decides later to sue
for divorce, and the last act shows the
court room, with Judge Geoghan pre-
siding.
After an extraordinary trial, the di-
vorce is granted, and the Dottie changes
her mind, and wants to remarry

type, it is hard to decide which. Their
songs create deafening applause, the
hit of the evening being made by Cliff

ing is good, too, especially the final of
the second act, which partakes of the
nature of a real negro camp meeting

groes stationed most anywhere in the

YALE's POOR PLAY.
Their Practice Gould Not Be Worse for
This Season of the Year


This Season of the Year
New Haven, CT, Nov 6.-Were the
open practice of this afternoon all that
Yale can hope to show in the way of
foot ball, the outlook would be most
discoursging indeed Poorer playing at
this stage of the game could hardly be
given, but when it is taken into con-
siderati0n that most of the men playing
on the varsity side today were substi-
tutes, there is some excuse for uneven
work. The men played fairly well in
several instances.
At offense it was a comparatively
easy matter for either side to gain by
line plunges. Backs and tackles made
good gains steadily, but on defensive
work the converse was true. The de-
tense by both sides in the practice was
poor, The coachers today were Head
Coach Rogers, Murphy, Rhodes, Camp,
Frank liinkey, Roy Tompkins, Cross
and Bull. The real practice of the Yale
eleven from this time on will be in Sc
cret. All the varsity players except
Cutten and Cunha were put into the
game during the secret work today
What took place can only be gathered
in fragments.
Enough is known, however, to con-
vince those who follow Yale consist
entity that the coachers are not worry
ing over the coming big games. They
will not, of course make any predic-
tions on either the Harvard or the
: Princeton game but from all that they
\ do not say in response to questions it
is evident that they do not as yet con-
slider the situation hopeless. Gluten
has not been in the playing since last
Wednesday or Thursday. He is
suffering from recurrence of
his stomach trouble of last year,
which manifested itself persistent
ly in a carbuncle on his neck. He
played through the games the latter
part Of last year despite his affliction,
and this year Trainer Robinson has ta-
ken him in tow early to prevent the
trouble assuming its old form or ag-
gravation.
The enthusiasm among the under
graduates continues as great as ever
several hundred being out today, fully
two hundred of them having marched
ont in a body from the campus. a mile
and half distant. They cheered heart
jly throughout the playing. The coach
ers intimate that the hard work for the
varsity players will begin in the open as
well as secret practice tomorrow, to
continue for the remainder of the week.

MoULDERS' DELEGATES.
Report of the New England Confer
ence Board Submitted.


At the meeting of Moulders' union in
labor headquarters last evening, Pres
ident John S. Gale and D. C. Sullivan,
delegates to the New England confer
ence board, reported the result of the
session in Providence, Sunday from
whence they returned yesterday morn
ing.
The conference board elected the fol-
lowing officers: President, P. H Nc
Nulty, Lawrence; vice president, D. C.
Sullivan Worcester; financial secre-
cary, Charles Mcmahon, Bridgeport,
Ct; recording secretary, Patrick Elem
ing, Woonsocket, R l.; treasurer, AL
bert Lord, Wakefield; doorkeeper,
James Ago, Providence. Daniel A
White of Boston was elected business
agent and begun work yesterday, going
to New Haven, ct.
The decision of the board regarding
an organizer was popular with the To-
cal delegates. and the union. Mr..
White has been one of the most prom
inent workers in the national organiza-
ton of moulders. A few years ago he
was factor in building up the local
union by stirring speeches on the prin-
SAPlCo anu DSHGllS OIL OTSdnlZdllOn.
President Gale said last night that
an organizer will be of benefit to every
union represented in the conference
board. Heretofore a national officer has
been appealed to in times of difficult
ties with employers, but the local union
will have Organizer White as arbitra-
tor, and he will remain in the New
England district.
Much interest centres in the result
of the arbitration board meeting in
Cincinnati, which opened yesterday.
Representatives of the Iron Moulders
and CoremakePs national unions will
endeavor to reach some settlement re-
garding the workings of the two bod
les. Several years ago the coremakers
were members of the Moulders' union,
but a distinct national organization has
been formed. In time of trouble, there
being no agreement between the two
bodies, the action of one in ordering a
strike is not always supported by the
other, and consequently neither is ben

ing for Players.

ing for Players.
Tom Mccarthy, coach for Holy Cross
base ball team last spring, and at the
head of the proposed Boston club of the
new base ball association, was in Wor-
cester yesterday. His visit, coming i'm
mediately after the meeting of the new
association in New York, Saturday,
gave rise to suspicion that Mccarthy
has his eyes open for players of the
Worcester team. Naturally, he didn't
drop any remarks that would confirm
such a suspicion.
Klobedanz and Horton are mentioned
as two men who. will doubtless re-
ceive advances from the new associa-
ton. Everybody connected with base
ball expects to see the new association
cut into the Eastern league as well as
into the National, and, if it does, Wor-
cester will probably suffer with the
other teams. The new association will
not be under the National agreement,
and will thus be responsible to nobody
in the matter of securing players. Clubs
now under National league protection
will be entirely at the mercy of the new
league in the matter of players.

TAYLOR WITHDRAWS.
The Suppressed Track Movement Loses
Its Strongest Supporter.

The citizens movement for depressed
tracks, as a solution of the grade cross
ing problem, has lost one of its strong
est supporters in the person of r. C.
Taylor, who has withdrawn his support
from the movement. The men having
the matter in charge have done moth
ing toward furthering the project for
some time, and as Mr.. Taylor seemed
about the only one left, he has de-
cided to renounce the proposition, and
will give his entire attention to his real
estate business.

Clinton high school for Saturday, The

ing. 1t is doing faithful work, and
shows the results, being an excellent
team for the amount Of foot ball knowl-
edge it has been able to acquire in a
short time. The victories the team
has gained this season are entirely due
to the development of team work, part
ly due to good coaching and partly due
to the good spirit the lads display.

TWO BIG BAZARS.
Father Achim of North

Pay Off Mortgage.

Northboro, Nov 6.-Rev. Levi j. Achim
of the St. Rose church, is determined to
pay the mortgage off the church. The
mortgage is now $500, and $1,000 less than
it was a year ago. When Rev. Levi
Achim took charge of the parish, six
years ago. everything was running over
in debt but since then the debts have
been paid off rapidly until nothing but
the mortgage of $500 remains. The way
in which the father intends to pay the
above debt off is this: He has planned.
two bazars from each of which he in
tends to realize $3.50. The first one will be
held the latter part of February and pre-
parations are being made now for the
grand affair. This bazaar will be one of the
best ever held in this or surrounding
towns and no efforts will be left untried
to make it a grand success. The first
meeting of the committee of arrange
ments win be held Sunday. Nov. u, at
I P, m. At the last bazaar held year ago,
5000 was cleared, the mills being closed
at the time and not as much money in
circulation as there is this year.

Thought He Had a Gun.
From the Chicago Record

FROM the chicago Record
Ever since the Wild West show appeared
in Buda Pest the citizens believe that every
American is in the habit of carrying a re-
volver. few nights before my arrival an
American traveller and his friends had been
sitting at a table in a music hall ordering
such refreshments as may be obtained at
that kind of place. When the American
called for his check the waiter performed
a feat in mathematics and learned that
three times three made seventeen. The
American found fault with this system of
multiplication and stood UP to protest. The
young woman who sold programs threw
herself in front of him and seized his arm.
Please don't she said, he is a poor man.
He has wife and family" The manager
came running. Wait. waitl' he entreated.
Please do not make any trouble. | ask
you that you should not shoot Yielding
to these entreaties the American spared the
lfe of the trembling waiter, who had made
a run for the stairway. There was another
computation. and it was decided that three
times three made nine
