ANcLuM's CHARGE.
A Manila Newspaper Gives an Account
of His Good Work.

A Manila Newspaper Gives an Account
of His Good Work.
Worcester friends of Capt. d. F. Ang-
lum have received a copy Of 1.-THE Amer
ican," a paper published in Manila,
which gives a more extended account
of the manner in which Capt. Anglum,
at the head of a company including
many Worcester men, routed a force OF
300 insurgents. An interview with Capt.
Anglum after the charge of Aug. 16 is
quoted as follows:
When first saw the insurgent force
with which we had a brush this morn
ing, it was about 600 yards distant, 1t
was composed of fully 300 men in sight,
the head and rear Of the column being
concealed by the woods. Three mounted
officers were distributed along the col
umn.
II ordered my force, containing So
men, to charge over the hedges and
across the road and engage the enemy
at short range.
"As the Americans came into the field
on the other side of which the insur-
gent line was moving, the Twelfth in
fantry boys charged with loud yells
The enemy kept up a running fire for
few moments but were soon in full
flight. The insurgent loss, as far as
could be discovered, was two killed
LAS the enemy fed through the cane
field, the loss on their side may have
been, and probably was, much heavier
than will ever be known. Lieut.. Mer-
rill and the squad with him did some
execution directly across the river from
Dolores. Blood and cartridges can be
seen at frequent intervals where the
Krag bullets found an insurgent"

AMUSEM ENTs.

1t is not extravagant to saw that tbe
appearance of the Bostonians this eve
ming at the Worcester theatre will east
ly be the principal event Of the week
as the reputation of this popular light
opera company is so well established
with all classes of music lovers. This
season finds several changes noted in
the singing forces. and the addition az
several young and talented artists has
music lovers. The Bostonians alravs
maintain high standard OF excellence
and no other organization presents slIch
an important repertoire. Always in
the van OF lyric productions, the Bos-
tonians have gone to unusual lengths
for the coming tour. and have secured
a number Of novelties.

1t is pleasing sight to see one great
man appreciated by another. 1t is sell
dom that two men standing near or at
the top of the same profession can lay
aside individual egotism and regard
each other with unfeigned admiration.
When such men are found, it is re-
freshing contrast to the selfshness of
the everyday world. OF such is the
nature of Jeffries' admiration for
Dewey. The great pugilist admits he
has met his superior as fighter, that
he is but humble bag-puncher in com
parison to the man who has never yet
thrown up the sponge, and whose ring
is the whole earth. Hear what he says:
Il met Admiral Dewey today. He is
all right. He can give any fighter cards
and spades and win out He is the
greatest fighter that ever gave a solar
plexus blow. 1 don't think Spain has
any solar plexus now"

European Photographic Views Shown
at the Chaftee Studio.
Albert H. Chaffee's pretty studio at l
Hancock street was the Mecca of art
lovers yesterday afternoon and even
ing, who went to see the collection of
photographs obtained by Mr.. Chaffee
on his trip to Europe this summer.
The front room is hung with unframed
silver and platino prints, all made
from negatives procured during the
past summer The series begins at Paris,
the first place where Mr.. and Mrs.
Chaffee stopped and passes on to Pisa,
Rome, Venice, Florence, Bologna, Nj
remburg and Hamburg.
In the other room are the same
views in water colors and framed,
which show off to an advantage the
delicate work Of the camera. Mr..
Chaffee used all the care possible in
making the pictures, waiting for days
sometimes to get the proper light, and
all of them are absolutely unique in
that they are made from new view
points and with an eye to the artistic
beauties of each scene. Mrs Chafkee
tells some interesting stories of some
of the difficulties encountered in plac-
ing the camera to get the best pictures,
and adds a value to each view with
some anecdote connected with its max
ing.
Besides the negatives, Mrs. Chaffee
brought home more than 200 pictures
of modern art which will be used to
illustrate her lectures on that subject
this winter. And besides pictures, they
brought some souvenirs from Venice, a
Venetian lamp two Savanarola chairs,
wrought-iron kettle stand and a
model of one of the water jars so COM
mon in Venice.

THE BRIDE ELECT
Sousa's Charming Opera Given for the
Benefit of the Local Elks.


Worcester's musical devotees were
out in force last night. Those who
value the divine art in proportion to
the amount of personal discomfort it
entails, mostly repaired where that sort
was lavishly served, while the part who
prefer melody and enjoyment dropped
in at the Worcester theatre, where THE
Bride Elect was being given for the
Elks' annual benefit
1t was the eighth in the benefit Sc
ries, and as a performance will rank
almost as the very best of the lot The
theatre presented gala appearance,
With the rows of handsome men in
black and white standing in the foyer
that always make this occasion char
9nteristfc; while Manager Wendell
Schaefer did honor to the event by
coming up from Providence to see his
own company play in his own theatre
The company must have felt that the
eye Of their manager was on them, for
q snapper, brighter performance would
be hard to arrange. The inevitable
comparison which would arise between
this and the presentation of the opera
here last year is, with the exception
of one or two principals, entirely in ia
vor of the newest. All the striking
features. such as the br4gand cakewalk,
the Amazonian march, the familiar
march finale, the topical chorus and
the anti-work brigade, were capitally
given and applAuded and encored till
both entertainers and entertained de-
sisted from mutual exhaustion.
Perhaps the biggest Improvement over
last year. was in the substitution of
Neil Mcneil in the leading comedy part.
The role is not an ideal one for the
funmaker. but Mr.. Mcneil got a lot
out Of it. He has an ample fund of.
the grimaceS, gags and gestures which
form the CAPITAL of the opera comedian,
and is besides, a remarkably agile
dancer and reasonably good singer. Otis
Thayer, as a comic brigand was a good
second in the laugh-producing race.
Marie Celeste was vocally all that could
be desired as Minutezza. Much Of the
best music, particularly the charming
"Snow baby lullaby, with its dainty
harp accompaniment, falls to her share,
aud she sang it beautifully Drew
Donaldson, too, made vocal hit as the
fiery brigand princess, and Lillian
Ramsdell looked delightfully."- goodna-
tured as the queen.
The orchestra deserves a whole par
agraph all to itself, for better instru-
ipental support was never heard in this
theatre. Four pieces, including the
harp, came with the company but the
rest were all our own men. The addi-
ton of the viola and drums, with which
the management has enriched the reg
ular force, has been of immense value
to the ensemble, and now, under the
leadership of Director Truda, the en-
tracts are becoming features of the
regular performances, and requests for
favorite selections are frequent
