Mr.. L. E. Cannon returned
to Minneapolis from St. Joe, Mo-.
last week, where he has been
working as foreman of a bridge
force for Hoff Bros, who have
contracts with the Great-Western
Railroad, as western agents of the

Later in the season, when the

go to Des Moines, Iowa, and
thence to Mexico. Mr.. Cannon
is a charter member of the
Bridgeman's Union, the total
membership of which is now Io2.
During his last trip to Missouri
he had quite number of varied
experiences in manipulating a
part of his force which were COM

the rankest sort. 1t certainly
shows progress to see the recog-

The instructions which the rector has
been giving Immediately preceding the
sermons are always very interesting. On
last Sunday he gave q short
talk regarding the financial support
of the mission. Among other things, be
said that while the ideal way TO meet
the expenses OF a church work was by
voluntary contributions, yetit sometimes
became necessary TO resort TO other means
such as socials, entertainments, etc.
And that be very much desired that II ii
became necessary 70 give entertainments
for the support of this mission. that great
care should be taken TO keep the tone OF
such entertainments up to such q high
standard that they should have the effect
Of elevating the work rather than lower
ing il. He said that such things as
dancing, theatrical entertainments, card
parties, etc. were purely worldly
institutions and that however much we
might see tit TO indulge in them in cur
private life, they could hardly be con-
sidered as proper means OF furtheriDg
the work Of the Church: and that while
there might be Q difTsFanee OF opinion ~
to the real harmfuIness Of tlsse EIings,
yet we know that there are many who
consider them 20 and we should BE- care
ful not 10 give any ons the slightest
grounds 10 criticize the Church BY resort-
ing TO such entertainments 10 rsise
money 10 carry on the work

THE GALAPAGOS GROUP.

In connection with Senator Lodge
attempt to gain possession of the Gala
pages islands for this country, it is a
tact not generally known that the
United States all but acquired that
group on another occasion.
During the time of the Chile unpleas-
antness, war with the South American
republic seemed all but inevitable. The
United States must of necessity be the
Aggressor in naval war But how to
provide coal for the warships was an
embarrassing problem. The nation at
hat time had but small navy. To
protect fleet of Golfers would exhaust
nalf of the nations available sea force,
AT that juncture young American
Who had spent many years in Ecuador
offered Secretary of State Blaine a
proposition Of which that acute states
nan was quick to see the merits. The
Joung man went to Ecuador and oh
aimed from that government a con-
eession giving him the free and exclu-
ilve right to the Galapagos group for a
ERIN of ninety-nine years, with the
eight to cut timber, prospect for min
erals, work the fisheries and in other
ways do as he pleased with the islands.
sor this he was to pay $3.50, 900 down
and an annual rental of $4,000. Blaine

nave taken the contract off the young

letails were agreed upon. The imme-
late occasion for the acquisition Of

lie doubt, however, that if this nation

ageous offer can be secured from the
government Of Ecuador.

SITUATION IN WARD FIVE.

The political situation in ward five is
interesting. At the state election the re-
publicaps were enabled, by weeks of eff
fort. to retain the ward in the repub-
lican column and to return Represent
ative Hagberg to his seat in the gen
eral court. Prompted by this success,
republican candidates were placed in
nomination at the republican munich
pal caucuses for places in the several
branches of the city government. If
the good work which was done In the
state campaign has been kept up with
yigor and the exertions or behalf of
the candidates for municipal office
have not been relaxed, there is every
reason to expect that republican can
dldates for positions in the common
council and in the school board will
be successful at Tuesdays election.
William j. Bragg, who is the repub-
lican candidate for the council, has
been for years interested in party work
and has been an efficient member from
that ward on the republican city com
mlttee If elected he will no doubt be
of material assistance to the residents
of the ward in the matter of effecting
reforms which it is claimed are needed
in that section. Frederick Clee, who
has been selected as another candidate,
is we'll known in republican circles, but
has never been before the peo-
pie for municipal office. Bertram K
Stowell the candidate for the school
committee, is young man in politics,
but one who has had rare opportunities
along business and educational lines
He is making the greatest fight of any
of the candidates in the ward All that
is needed to make ward FIVE perma-
nently republican is for the republican
voters to attend the polls next Tuesday
and do their duty by the republican
nominees.

AcooD GAME ON.
Lyceum viii Play Cambridgeport
Gymnasium Tomorrow Night.

Lyceum VIII Play hamburger port
Gymnasium Tomorrow Night.
The disarmament of the Marlboro
Athletic club basket ball team will not
prevent the Catholic Young Mems
lyceum team from a game tomorrow
evening. The Iyceum will play the
Carflbridgeport gymnasium team, in
Father Mathew hall. The game is not
a league match, but is even more in
teresting on account of the opportunity
to compare the strength of the lyceum
team with the strong teams in the
vicinity of Boston. Reports from the
playing Of those teams show that they
are strong, and the Cambridgeport
team Is as strong as any of them. The
contest the lyceums put up last week
against the Hudsons, in this city,
shows that the South Worcester lads
are capable of playing anything that
goes under the name of basket ball
team.
Joe Bean, who played short stop for
the champions Rochesters of the East
ern league, is coach and physical di-
rector at the Cambridgeport gymna-
SUM. The team will have Sullivan and
Jope, formerly of the Millburys, as for
wards, and Parker and Rice for backs.
Big Dan Brown, who won 40-yard
dash in the rink, a few years ago, by
making a pretty steal on the pistol, is
centre for the team.

MORE PROSPERITY.

Prosperity was a trife longer reach
ng the textile industry than it was in
making itself felt in the steel mills, but
has at last come with a rush. There
scarcely a cotton mill in all New
england where the employees have not
received a ten per cent raise in wages.
And now comes the report that the
wooden manufacturers are about to fol-
ow suit. 1t is estimated that fully
10000 employees will profit by the lat
ter advance.
This means a period Of prosperity
for New England such as has not been
seen for many years. The increased
amount of money in circulation will af-
feet all classes. Although Worcester
not being large centre of textile in
dustries, will not feel the effect of the
advance in wages so directly as will
some other towns and cities, the Heart
of the Commonwealth is certain tc
profit by movement which will be felt
throughout the whole country.

trative act by wise and conservative
has guided improvements in every
branch of municipal government, he
has been as broad as the city itself. He
has catered to no man and to no class
His utterances and actions have been
dominated by a disposition to further
the beat interests of the whole city.
The republican members Of the board
OF aldermen have sustained him in a
way that has won for them equal COM
mendation with the mayor. 1t is the
duty OF the republicans to bring out a
big vote, to demonstrate to the remain
ing cities and towns In Massachusetts
that the virtues of the party are as
much to be desired in municipal as in
the state and national politics.
Mayor Dodge is one of the very few
mayors in New England cities who have
SO ably administered affairs as to leave
little or no opportunity for criticism
even from his enemies. He has de-
veloped ability that may, in the course
of time, lead to better things. His
future opportunities will depend upon
the policy that he pursues during the
coming year. but for what he has done
every republican in Worcester should
go to the polls on Tuesday and endorse
him by the biggest plurality that has
ever been rolled up in any election in
this city's history.
