THERMosTADT ALARMS.
Chief Vaughn Says They Cause the Fire
men Lots of Needless Trouble.

CHeI vaughn Gays Iney cause me Flfe-
men Lots of Needless Trouble.
Alderman Barrett introduced on order
at last nights meeting of the board of
aldermen for the establishment of some
sort of regulation by the committee on
fire department to govern the introduce
ton of fire alarm. appliances for private
concerns, in the different fire depart
ment houses.
Chief Vaughn has called this matter
to the attention of the committee and
he feels that some regulation should be
made. The thermOstadt is cited as one
of the principal causes for complaint.
From what Alderman Barrett has
learned, many of the firms who have
this system installed in their factories
have no special hour set for the daily
test and in one case a piece of tape on
which the alarm registers showed five
different numbers in one day that had
come in over the circuit in question.
Many times different companies have
been called out when there was no call
for their services. At other times some
employee of a place of business has
tested the system out of curiosity
giving the firemen a needless run.
Aside from the automatic system
there are others which unless governed
by some sort of regulation will cause
no end of inconvenience.

CAFE GETS BLACK EYE.
Lincoln House Proprietor
Thinks He Must
Give 1t Up.

Landlord Trowbridge of the Lincoln
House was invited to meet the license
commissioners in their office yesterday
morning at which time he was inform
ed of certain reports that have come
to the ears of the commissioners re-
garding certain things that have taken
place in the hotel.
The commissioners told Mr.. Trow-
bridge that they wished to act square
ly in the matter and wanted to hear his
side of the story as well. Mr.. Trow
bridge replied frankly that he was
aware that certain things that have
happened in connection with the house
are open to criticism, the principal fea-
ture being the cafe where many per-
sons come who are not wanted and
who are hard to keep out. He realiZ-
ed that the location of the Lincoln
House makes certain matters particu-
larly noticeable and has given serious
consideration to the advisability of do
ing away with the cafe.
Mr.. Trowbridge is willing to abide by
the decision of the commissioners and
there is strong likelihood that the cafe
will be closed in the near future.
Last night Spy man called at the
Lincoln House and asked Mr.. TroW-
bridge if he had reached any conclus-
ion in regard to the final closing up OF
the cafe. He said he had not, but un-
doubtadly ould take such action soon
Mr.. Trowbr!dge remarked that here il
Worcester it was impossible to keeL
such place as he would like to, al
though no trouble was found in Boston
and other large cities. BY implication
he SAID that the conditions here were
of a peculiar nature and could not be
overcome, no matter what was done
Asked f the patronage of the house
would l.e affected by the closing OF
the doors of the cafe, Mr.. Trowbridge
replied thar the cafe was but a small
part Of the business of the hosiery.

AN APRIL SLEIGHRIDE.
Charming Novelty Enjoyed
at Rutland on Six Inches
of Beautiful Snow.

Rutland, April ia sleighride on
the 18th day of April was the novelty
enjoyed by guests of the Prospect
House in this town this morning. The
storm of yesterday afternoon and last
evening deposited exactly six inches of
snow on the level
When the guests at the Prospect
House looked out of their windows this
morning visions of a spring sleighride
passed before them. The genial clerk
at this hosiery anticipated the desires
of the guests of the house, and after
they had enjoyed their breakfast the
guests found a sleigh in waiting to
carry them to the depot.
Many local farmers who had banked
on starting their early planting this
morning, were somewhat phased when
they found that the poor mans fer
tilizer' was six inches deep on the land
which they intended to cultivate this
morning.
Climatic changes are as common in
Rutland as mosquitoes in New Jersey,
but midApril sleighride rather beats
out anything heretofore produced in
this fine old hill town.
The furniture for the new school
rooms arrived Saturday. Two of the
the rooms are completed, and the desks
and seats will be placed in position at
once.

NEW ENVELOPE TRUST.
u. 5. Envelope Company Officials Express Nc
Fear of Proposed Competition.

The new United States Envelope
Company is to have competitor, ac-
cording to the Paper Trade Journal,
which says The keynote of opposition
to industrial combination in field ad-
jacent to that of paper making was
sounded this week by the formation of
company to manufacture envelopes in
competition with the trust. An extern
sive plant will be erecteH IN New York
city without delay, and 1t is proposed
to turn out 100000 envelopes every "A
hours. About 80 machines have already
been purchased, it is said and another
80 are in process Of construction. Con-
siderable secrecy has been maintained
in the preliminary operations, and those
who are backing the company do not
care to acknowledge 1t just yet. The
superintendent however, is to be Mr..
Griffin, who held that position with the
Holyoke Envelope Company before it
was absorbed by the United States com
pany. Mr.. Griffin came to New York
early in the week to take charge of af-
fairs, armed with brand new charter.
1t is understood that location for the
plant has been selected, downtown, and
that work on construction is to begin
very shortly.
Worcester investors in United States
Envelope and gentlemen very closely
allied TO that company, when shown
the above story by a Spy man yester-
day, expressed no anxiety over it, They
say that they are amply able in a finan-
cial way to meet all competitors; that
out of the daily consumption of $4,000,
900 envelopes in this country, the United
States company supplies all but 1000, O0C
of them; and that they care little who
supplies the rest of them, as that is a
matter of comparatively little import
ance

A GENERAL MIx-UP.
Rickey Wagon ard Worcester Jew Figure
in Amusing Incident

Leicester April ia rickety wagon
gave a Worcester Jew little excite
ment today. and furnished amusement
for employees of the Chapel mill. The
man drove up to the mill shortly after
o'clock. and purchased four bales of
waste. which were carefully loaded into
the wagon.
He was just starting out of the
yard when some part Of the dilapidated
outfit broke and the horse started,
humping against post and spilling out
part of the load.
This freshness broke part of the har-
ness. and the owner of the outfit had
to put in two or three hours of work
repairing the damage. AT 4 o'clock a
second start was made. and the horse
| had hardly turned towards home when
something else gave way.
! The Jew got down under the wagon
to do some more tinkering, leaving the
wagon half way across the road. A
mischievous boy, driving a delivery
wagon, passed by just then, and pur-
posely ran into the team, Slowing the
wagon around. Part of the load was
spilled a second time, and tonight a
quantity of waste on Main street near
McDermott's switch marks the scene.

SURVEY FOR CABLE
Effort to Secure the
Hawaiian Contract
for Local Works.
NEW FIRM IN FIELD.
Another Trust Formed to
Make 100000 En-
velopes Daily.

San Francisco, April 1.-THE United
States steamer Nero has come down
from Mare Island and is taking on coal
preparatory to her departure for Hon
olulu at the end Of this week. The Nero
has been entirely retitted and prepared
for the work in which she is to engage
the exploration and survey Of a route
for a submarine cable from Honolulu
TO Manila.
The route between San Francisco
and Honolulu having been thoroughly
surveyed, the Nero will begin at Hon
olulu and make soundings from there
to the island of Luzon or at Midday is
land and Guam. No soundings have
ever been made over this part of the
Pacific.
1t is believed that the contract for
supplying this cable will fall into the
hands of the American Steel and Wire
Company Every, possible effort is be-
ing made to secure it.
1t is believed, too, as was stated ex-
clusively in The Spy a week ago, that
the company will supply the cable to
connect the United States with its Ha-
waiian colony. 1t will depend in very
great measure, of course, upon the re-
port of the famous cable expert, Mr..
Weiss, of San Francisco, who has been
in Worcester recently in conference
with the heads of departments at the
Grove street mills.
The Hawaiian contract alone would
call for 1000 miles of cable, and it was
said at the mill today that if the COM
pany gets the contract, the cable would
doubtless be built at the Washburn &
Moen works in San Francisco. From
the mills it would be given out into
the Pacific under the supervision of
Mr.. Weiss,
