ATALEOF SEA AND SHORE,
MANS Inhumanity to Man
Makes Countless Thousands Mourn"

There have been shipwrecks more dis
astrous than that of the line La Bour-
gogne. But never was there a shipwreck
with such scenes of uneXampled horror
The crew of the ship crowded the boats
Weak women were trampied under foot
in the selfish struggle to escape. And
when the fast failing swimmers reached
imploring hands toward the boats they
were stunned by a blow from an oar OF
manned by the slash OF a sword
The inhumanity is heightened TO oul
view by the tragic surroundings by the
mass OF men and women whose clinging
fingers were wrenched away from the
boat that was their one nope of life. = c
think the spectacle unique In human his
tory. Yet as matter of fact something
like this scene is being enacted every day
upon the shore instead OF on the sea.
Think of such a case as this. A poor
victim Of disease who has spent money in
vain on physicians lie feels that his
days are remembered. He looks eagerly
about for some sign of hope or help, At
this critical time he reaos OF some one
diseased Just as he was who has been
entirely cured by the use of De- Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. A CLEAN OF
hope lights mis- eye. He stretches out his
hands 10 seize this opportunity of help,
But tho local practitioner pushes him
Everything has been done that can be
done. You may as we'll resign yourself
TO the inevitable.
The thief who steals the starving wom-
ans crust; the pirate who pulls away
the plank which gives hope of safety TO
the swimmer; these are not more cup
able than the man who robs a human suf-
ferer of the one last hope that is left
him
But sometimes man declines TO be
robbed, 1t may be al! true as the physi-
Clan says: Nothing more can be done ="
1t may be true that you may d well
take so much water" But the sufferer
seizes the one change Of life held ont by
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
and his cure puts the physician. who held
out no hope, TO shame

Fight Under the British Flag.

If by romance is meant that which

romantic incidents occurring in these

now of the Wilson's Bank of Toronto,
Ont. has applied for and obtained leave
from the bank directors to volunteer
for the Canadian contingent for South
African service.
Mr.. Beers will be we'll remembered in
Worcester as one of the members of
the Worcester Light Infantry. He was
a good soldier, and had an experience
in military affairs here that will stand
him in good stead in the British army.
The bank directors very generously
allow him his full salary. He is ex-
pecting to join the forces from Quebec
as he was unsuccessful in being sworn
in in Toronto, although he passed the
physical examination all right.

PRAISES AcUINALDo.
Rev. Peter MacQueen Sympathizes
With the Insurgent Leader.


The rain last night prevented the ex-
pected attendance at the illustrated lee
ture at Union church by Rev. Peter
MacQueen. the Associated Press corre-
spondent who has recently returned
from the Philippines The speaker was
briefly introduced by Prof. Webster,
president Of the Mems Association.
Mr.. MacQueen has been heard in
Worcester before, but never with a
more interesting topic. He began with
describing the position of our new pos
sessions on the map, and then went
on to describe the character of the ma
tive Filipino. He spoke in praise of
Aguinaldo and other noted rebel lead
ers. and showed that his sympathies
were enlisted in their behalf. The
speaker then went on to give a rapid
description of the operations of the
American forces, from the capture of
Manila up to the time he left the ISL
ands.
AS Mr.. MacQueen followed with the
advance of the forces, he was able TO
present a vivid picture of the various
sl1irmishes and battles. He told sew

were mostly taken from photographs
made by himself A number of pho
tographs of dead and dying soldiers
could well have been omitted, as they
were not pleasant to look upon, and
gave too much of the saddle side Of
war. He spoke in high praise of our
men and leaders, and characterized the
stories of loot and excuses as false
and belonging to the type of yellow
journalism While many will not agree
in his estimation of the character of
the native Filipino now in arms against
this country his long service entities
