BRACKET FAVORED.

The Winchester Man May Continue as
Chairman of the Fish and Game
Commission.
The chances of E. D. Burlington be-
ing appointed chairman of the fish and
game commission do not appear strong.
e. w. Bracket of Winchester. who has
been a member OF the board for years,
has been reappointed a member and
will doubtless receive the appointment
Of chairman. Mr.. Burlington decided
several weeks ago that he would not
oppose Mr. Bracket
The appointment of Mr.. Bracket
made Wednesday comes in the nature
of a surprise to Worcester men who
are interested in the work Of the COM
mission. The term of Mr.. Young, mem
Der of the commission last year, does
not expire for another week. Mr..
Brackets term expired a week ago.
and Joseph w. Collins of Springfield
was slated for his place. Whether the
craftsmanship is an appointive position
or whether the commission elects its
own chairman is a question that even
members of the commission are in
doubt about In either event the
chances are in favor of Mr.. Bracket.
Having held the Craftsmanship for
years, the chances are in favor of his
reappointment to that position if the
Office is an appointive one, and if an
elective Mr.. Burlington will vote for
him in preference to Mr.. Collins.

CON" GAME QUEERED.
The Worcester County Boys
Are Not So Slow
After All.

James A. t, accountant at
the office of T linen mills, re-
turned last night from Boston, where
he had shaken the hand of Admiral
George Dewey. T told the
Spy reporter that he had a good time,
but came very nearly being buncoed.
He said he met young lady, who
was very stylishly dressed and who
asked him to lunch with her. After a
little preliminary introducing of each
other, T-'s lady acquaintance
took him to the cafe at the Touraine,
where they lunched. The feed came to
So go. When it was nearly over the lady, so
bewitching in every way, told t
she had to make a call, but that she
would return in a few minutes, and
snatching up her pocketbook she start
ed to leave the table, T, how
ever was not to be done for the lunch
con and requested the lady to either
leave her pocketbook on the table or
else pay for the good things they had
eaten before she went. She tried to ex-
plain, but James could not see it in her
way of thinking. After some discussion
she left the pocketbook, but returned in
short time and settled for what they
had eaten, as she had done the inviting.
She said she would meet him Sunday
night on Yarmouth street, but James
says he never showed up to keep the
date. He considers himself pretty lucky
that he was not done for all his money.

cry moment The Shamrock was near
ly, if not quite, three miles astern of the
American yacht, and while the light
ship was in sight from the Columbias
deck she was still five miles from it at
o'clock with only half an hour left to
finish within the time.
At 40 the committee boat headed to-
wards the yachts, and at 4.19 fired a
gun and hoisted the signal declaring
the race off The yachts kept their
sails drawing and headed towards the
finish for some 10 minutes longer until
their respective tugs came alongside

FERRYBOAT MYSTERY.
A Boston Suicide That
Puzzles Worcester
Police.

The Boston police have mystery on
hand, with Worcester end to it. a
woman, evidently refined, about middle
aged, and dressed in black, is supposed
to have jumped from the ferryboat Re :
we're, on the East Boston line, shortly
after midnight yesterday. She left Il
hand bag, cape and two letters. One
indicated her intention to enc her life,
and requested that in the event Of her
body being found, it be consigned to
Bishop Henry c. Potter of New York.
The other was addressed to Mis-. H.
]. Clark General Delivery, Worcester
Parts of torn typewriter comInuni-
cation were also found, and from this
1t appears that the woman had ha6
some trouble with her husband in re-
gard to money matters.
Clippings from San Francisco papers,
with the morse races marked, give the
Boston sleuths the impression that the
woman had probably lost heavily by
hacking favorites at the Oakland races.
BOSTON SLEUTHs INVESTIGATE.
+ Investigations made by the Boston
police during the day were fruitless of
result. Nothing was found that would
lead to the identity of the woman, and
the whole incident was a hoax intend
ed to accomplish some purpose IN
known to all save the perpetrators.
The Worcester police, after a little in
curry, came to the same opinion. They
could find no such person as the Mrs
III. j. Clark mentioned in the message.
There is Mrs. Hugh J. Clark living on
Lowell street, but she says that, as she
lived here for ten years, her friends
would know her address. She neve.
received mail at the general deliy cry
window.
Deck hands of the ferry boat say
that they noticed the woman, and re-
marked that she made several tries on
the boat, back and forth, without get
ting off. They did not see her leave
the boat, and came to the conci lsion
when the hand bag and cape were
found, that she had silently and With
out observation, jumped overheard, and
being determined to die, met death bv
drowning, without an outcry
Postmaster Greene and the clerks az
the general delivery window were pes
tered to the frontiers of patience by
inquiries about the mysterious Mrs. II
j. Clark, and are thinking Of having
a sign put outside for the benefit OF
those that may call around today.

WAS DEsPoNDENT.

A well known Main street business
man suffered from violent dependency
yesterday afternoon. He was walking
down Front street in the afternoon,
when he was met by an old friend. The
suffering man declared his intention to
commit suicide, and started several
times to cast himself beneath the
wheels of approaching trolley cars. He
then started for various points about
the railroad, with the avowed inten-
ton OF taking his own life 1t was
with much difficulty that the unfortun-
ate maa was prevented from putting
his awful intention into effect. He said
that business difficulties were the cause
of his dependency, which approached
insanity. as he could see no possible
manner in which he could meet his obli-
cations.

TO A CLAM.

o thou who dwellest in the mud
Down by the salty sea!
Thou clam, whom all the poets slight,
I'll sing a song to thee.
What a marvel is the palace
Which thy lifelong home has been
Walled with granite on the outside,
And with polished pearl withini
All unconscious of the beauties
Which in thy home are rife,
Thou sojournest for a season
In the ooZy depths of life.
To ope thy fortress window,
Thrust out thy smutty head,
And seek the Shiny morsel
Which is thy daily bread
This alone is thy endeavor,
This is all thou hast to do;
Yet thou'rt happy very happy,
IL the ancient proverbs true.
Clam, thou'lt be among the missing
When the morrow's dinners done,
And the ruins Of thy dwelling
Will be whitening in the sun
But perchance some poet silent,
Wand ring by the white sea foam,
Seeking some lost strain of music,
May espy thy vacant home.
And If in that shells white hollow
He shall find the long-lost strain,
Then, O clam, down in the mud there.
Thou wilt not have lived In vain

TO CLEAN WHITE Wells.

White wells which are always worn
with white hats are so soon soiled that
you may like to know how to clean
them and make them last longer than
they usually do. If you buy good wells
they can be washed without difficulty
Make a lather of soap and lukewarm
water. To a gallon of this add one tea
spoonful of ammonia. Pour this into
an enamel pan and put the wells in.
Set on the stove and let them simmer
not boil. After 20 minutes take from
the stove, rinse the wells in two waters
In the second have some dissolved gum
arabic. but only little. Shake the
wells dry and press under cloth. You
will feel as If you had a new veil.
