ATTRACTIVE EXCURSION.
Crompton Loom Works Employees
Will Go to Boston Next Saturday.

The excursion of the Crompton Loom
Works Mutual Relief and Benefit as
ISOLATION week from today is adver-
tised as the best of the season, and in
dications point that way. The excursion
is to Boston and return, and the ticket
will also include trip to any of the
beaches in the neighborhood of Boston.
But to base ball fans the excursion
means much more. Instead Of a trip
to one of the beaches, a ticket will adj
nit to the ball game at South End
grounds. The game will be between
Boston and Brooklyn, so it's pretty safe
guessing many will forego the trip to
the beach to witness that game.
The loom works employees are not
only fortunate in having a date on
which that game is to be played, but
are also lucky in having a date on
which the L. A. W. national meet is
being hello at Charles River track, ard
bicycle enthusiasts are thus afforded an
opportunity to witness their favorite
sport
The special train will leave the Union
station at $50 O'Clock. Returning it will
leave Boston at s O'Clock. The rate fer
the round trip. including admission to
the game or trip to one of the various
beaches. is $110 The committee IL

The COUNTERFEIT CASE
Secret Service Detective
Looking for Evidence
Here.

r. D. Redfern, a secret service de-
tective, was in Worcester yesterday
morning, working on the Matson coun-
terfelting case, and made an endeavor
to get some tangible clue as to where
John Matson secured the spurious malt
dollars which he circulated in Wor-
cester. AS soon as he reached Wor-
cester, Mr.. Redfern called on Capt.
Matthews at station l and asked that
Officer j. G. Barker, who arrested
Matson, with Sergt Hill, be detailed
on the case with him. The officer was
sent out, and together they called on
Matson and asked him a number OF
questions as to where he got hold OF
the money, but failed to get any in
formation.
Matsou secured bonds shortly after
he was committed to the county Jail
to await trial before the United States
court at Boston, and has been at lib
erty since. Mr.. Redfern talked this
matter over with Matson yesterday
and also talked with all people with
whom Matson has come in contact
Matson remains as stolid as he die
when first arrested and refuses to di-
vulge anything that would tend t.
show where he got the money
He will not admit having anything
to do with the coins found at the Fin
nish grocery store, and says that those
found at the Finnish Temperance So
ciety were coins passed on him while
he was there.
Detective Redfern does not take any
stock in Matson's story, and is certain
there is an organized gang of counter
feiters behind him, and he was merely
working as a tool
Considerable Importance is placed or
the case by the United States author
tiles, and in sending Detective Redfern
to Worcester, they have selected the
best man available. 1t was he who To-
Gated Spanish spies in America during
the Spanish-American war, and rem
dered brilliant service all through the
strife. He is a clean cut man, and his
actions are impressive to a detail He
is entirely non-committal CONCERNING
the Matson case, but thinks time will
bring results.

sEReT.LocAN DIsPLEAsED
He Will Contest the Validity of Col.
Donovan's Commission.

Sergeant Major Edward L. Logan, who
was removed by Col. William II. Donovan
from the position he held in the Ninth
regiment, M. v. NJ, Intends to test the
validity of Col Donovan's commission in
the supreme court Of the state. The trou-
BILE has been engendered by the removal
of Logan from his position as sergeant
major of the Ninth, which position he
has held since his appointment by Col. F..
B. Began. His grounds for the claim that
Col. Donovans commission is invalid lies
in the fact that the colonel did not quail
fy, except conditionally, before the state
examining board. M.
Sergeant Major Logan did not go with
the Ninth regiment to Cuba, but was LETT
behind in the state recruiting He claims
that he was removed on account OF per-
sonal feeling against him by the colonel.
Col. Donovan, on the other hand, says ne
discharged him because ne understooa
that Logan would not go to muster this
wear, and, as the position Is very I'M
portant one, he took immediate steps TO
All what he supposed was vacancy Ser
geant Major Logan Is the son OF Lieut.
Col. Lawrence j Logan, VINO was colonel
Of the Ninth after the death OF Col. +. y;

colonel In the state militia, but was De

POLICE SIGNAL SYSTEM.
Officers Are Instructed in Its Use at
Station I.

SAdIiOH u
Work on the new police signal system
at station is progressing rapidly, and
yesterday one of the new boxes was put
In the station for instruction Of officers.
The box is painted blue and is of a met
ropolitan appearance. The workings of
the box and the system were explained
fully in The Spy week ago, and it is
almost unnecessary for the officers to
stIdy the box. In addition to the off,
GERS key there is a place for a key
which can be used by citizens. All that
is necessary to call the team is to in
sert the key and give it a turn. The
citizens key cannot be removed again
until the box is opened by the officers
key which is a shade different from the
one furnished to citizens.
1t Is improbable that the key will be
furnished to citizens, as this idea was
tried In Lowell where the system was
put in a short time ago. The team was
kept running to every nook and corner
in the city on account of some excitable
being who saw all kinds of trouble in
something that was harmless.
Last night the keys to the old signal
boxes were called in by Lieut.. johnson
and it is expected the new system will
be in running order by Sept. l.

No Lady Would Do
Such a Thing.

No lady would take her watch when
out of order, to the first person who dis
played the sign watches Regulated
and Repaired" But she would carefully
enquire for a man whose acknowledged
skill entitled him to take in charge the
delicate mechanism.
How much more careful should a
woman be, when she herself is disor-
derded, not to entrust the delicate and
complex mechanism of her being to the
tlrst man or woman who displays the
sign Medical Advice Given" No sign
IS to be trusted which says " Medical
Advice Given" and stops there. Medi-
cal advice can be given only by ply
sician. An accredited physician will put
his title with his name. Suppose a sign
reads, Medical Advice Given by a
Man" What woman would rot in
stantly say, The fact of being a man
doesn't qualify him to give medical ad-
vice. He must be physician to do
that" But suppose the sign reads
Medical Advice Given by Woman. "
Is not the fact just as patent that being
u0WaH does not qualify her to give
medical advice. The woman must be
physician to do that. Medical advice
given by an unskilled woman is Just as
dangerous as if given by an unskilled
man.
In inviting sick and ailing woman to

cAskILL IMPROVING
Possibility That He Will Be Able to
Preside at August Term.

There is a possibility that Judge
Francis A. Gaskill will be able to fill
August term of the superior criminal
court which sits at Fitchburg Monday,
Aug. Fl. He is recovering rapidly from
a broken leg sustained while playing
golf at his summer home in Maine. No
definite notification has been received
in Worcester, but it is believed that
Judge Gaskill will preside.
The docket of the term although an
unusually long one, numbers few cases
of prominence. There are 1873 appealed
cases from the district court, OF this
number, the grand jury will probably
find many indictments above the aver
age, which is about 60.
