istence after death scientific demon
stration, the value of such demonstra-
ton is beyond words. That Is the argu-
ment OF Mr.. Hudson's new book on a
new argument for Immortality. Re
specting the spiritualistio hypothesis,
he believes that spiritualism, in q char
latanist manner, has taken hold OF facts
coming from mans psychic power
which make the belief In q continued
existence after death no longer unrea-
sonable. The whole result of the Psy-
chical Research Society seems to be q
demonstration of telepathy--that Is, of
the power OF THAI communication apart
from physical media. That involves q
conception of mans nature that makes
him superior to death because he Is
superior to mere physical organization.
More than that" continued DR..
Newton, many careful philosophers
and scientific Investigators after long
study of the subject, have become con-
WINGED of eternity through the resi-
dunn of fact that lies beyond the
frauds of spirituaAsm. This Is the case
with Mr.. Myers, In England, and DR..
Hodson IN this country, both OF whom
have plainly stated the conclusions to
which they have been led.
In my study few days ago a lead
Ing college professor who had fancied
himself a rnaterialist, announced to me
a similar conclusion as the result of
such study. My friend, Professor New
bold, OF the University of Pennsylvania
has said through the Psychical Re
search Society: Scientific men cannot
SAY much longer that there is no future
life. Eave said it, but I shall say II
no longer. ] know now there Is evidence
of future life, for I have seen it,.
| This" said DIR. Newton In conclus-
ion lis a decidedly new position for
! the scientific man, and Is very sgnif-
cant. If spiritualism offers even q
chance to demonstrate existence after
| death it deserves not contempt, but
| close scientific investigation"

Worcester Girl Captures Prize for Plans
for Low Cost Dwelling.

The first prize of $50 offered by the
Carpenter and Builder for the best plan
of $3.50 house, has been won by Miss
Laura z. Kingston of this city. Miss
Kingston is a. niece Of Architect John
p. Kingston, whose Office is in the
Knowles building. Miss Kingston has
been working there for about four
years. She has learned to draw plans
and to do regular architectural work,
and more than once before has tried
her hand at planning a house She
has hopes of working her way up in
this line. She is one of the most popu-
lar young women at All Souls church.
and will receive hearty congratulations
from her friends when they know of
it.
Architects from all over the country
competed for the prizes. the second
prize being won by a Denver man.
Many plans were thrown out by the
judges because they could not possibly
be carried out without costing more
than the amount specified. The cost
of the materials was figured from Wor-
cester prices and much ingenious plan
ming was necessary to make both ends
meet.
The house which can be built for
such small sum- is story and half
building, with bow window in the
parlor or sitting room, and a small
covered piazza for the front door to
open onto, Just about the size which
used to be called a stoop. There is q
hall, a parlor and a kitchen down
stairs, not over large, any of them,
but comfortable, pleasant rooms. The
roof is Of such a steep, long slant,
that the front chamber upstairs is a
good square room. There are two small
chambers, besides, on this floor. A
family of four could live comfortably
and happily in such home and feel
that they owned it. Such house on
land sold at two or three cents a4foot
would be a possibility for any steady
working man. There is no plumbing,
for that would cost $3.50 extra, and no
dining room. The plan is exceedingly
practical and was highly spoken OF
by the editor. Of Carpenter and Build

pages are given to illustrations of the
plans and the explanations.

TRUTH SOCIETY,
A Revival of interest and New Plans of
Campaign in Catholic Parishes.


The Catholic Truth Society which is
being resurrected at st. Johns Catholic
Church. held its second meeting yes
terday. and gives forth great promise.
An invitation was extended to the la
dies interested in the aims of the So
ciety, and despite the stormy weather,
they We're present in large numbers.
The committee on new members had
its hands full looking after those who
desired to enroll their names. When
the meeting had acted on all who made
application to join, there were 70 names
on the roll. The following committee
was appointed to draw up bylaws for
the government Of the organization:
Edward J. Mcmahon, Daniel P. Shea,
NJ. j. Lyden, Misses Agnes O'Gorman,
Anna Johnson and Margaret Carberry.
The committee will also have for con-
sideradon the advisability of forming
conferences ia the several Catholic
parishes Of the city, or the simple or
ganization of Catholics from all par
ishes into one large body.
various parishes, consisting OF M. J..
Lyden and d. p. Shea, reported that
the desire appeared to be general to join
one confer ence instead of having sew
eral in the city. The object of the
society is 20 disseminate Catholic lit
crature and TO correct false Impressions
regarding the teachings of the Catholic
Church.

NEW LIGHTS.
Calvin Farnsworth Tries Electricity for His
Depot Carriages.

Worcester and her enterprising business
men are not to be outdone by those Of any
other city. Along with compressed air
and other new features there was added
| last week decided novelty-in the way Of
Improvement for the public comfort and
| safety in the form of the electric illum-
| ination of vehicles.
Calvin Farnsworth, who controls the
| hacking franchise at the Union station.
| had on exhibition last Saturday evening
one of the latest style hansoms, which
had been equipped by the Worcester Nov
of incandescent electric lighting by the
storage battery process. The battery
which furnishes the supply for the lamps
is contained in box under the drivers
seat at the front of the vehicle, and the
wiring is entirely concealed within the
walls and sides of the carriage. The
lamps on either side of the drivers box
are furnished with six candle power bulbs
and are provided with powerful refectors
which bring the illumination up to about
twelve candle power.
The interior is lighted by a bulb of the
same candle power placed at the rear, d.
rectly over the small window at the back
of the seat. This light is of suIncient bril-
liancy to admit of reading while the car
riage is in motion. and will be appreciated
by those who often desire to consult
time tables and other information during
the evening. 1t will also be of great as
sistance to strangers who arrive on late
trains and are often confused in the de-
parture from the station. The battery
can be charged with sufficient electricity
to light the carriage for a period of nine
hours. and 1t is said that the cost Of run
ming the lights has by this means been re-
duced to a minimum.
The Introduction of electrically lighted
vehicles on the city streets precedes the
possible and probable introduction of the
automobile in the near future. and Mr..
IFarnsworth can be depended upon to make
fthis improvement as soon as such car
riages are proven to be feasible and less
Expensive.

WHEELER'S WORK.
His Thorough Investigation of Worcester's
Food Products.

It's interesting to note that Dr. Edward
IT, Wheeler, chief chemist for the New
York board of agriculture, whose recent
report upon the adulteration of foods has
created such wide and favorable comment
made some of his Investigations upon
which his report is founded i'm the city OF
Worcester. Dr. Wheeler is a personal
friend of Lawyer Frederick B. Harlow
and while he was pursuing his examlna-
ton in Worcester he made his residence
with Lawyer Harlow. He visits here reg.
ularly once a year, and always stays with
Mr.. Harlow.
While ON his last trip to Worcester he
Investigated the adulteration OF foods IN
this city, and inspected all the houses
where coffee and teas are sold. and casu.
ally viewed all the retail and wholesale
grocers of the city, so his observations on
food adulteration here appear In the re-
port and form the basis of some Of his
conclusions. DR.. Wheeler is one of the
ablest investigators in his line, and has
done much valuable work in the state OF
New York.

along comes Mr.. II. o. Havemeyer,
the president of the Sugar Trust, who
states under oath that Protection is
the mother of trusts" that ''trusts
are merely the machinery which
plunder the people by the aid of pro-
tective tariff laws" and that 1.-the
Governors and Attorney Generals of
the various States make a serious
mistake when they take action, not
against the cause of trusts, which is
protection but against the machinery
(trusts) employed to rifle the peoples
pockets.
What ia paradox! Havemeyer, who
ought to know, says that trusts are
caused by protection; and the Re-
publican party says that trusts are
the destruction of the country. The
logical conclusion would seem to be
that as a Republican measure, pro-
lection is as dead as julius Caesar.
But how is it that the Mogadore
statesman is so badly confused in his
political bearings? Why should he
be so hopelessly out-of-date? Why
doesn't he reconstruct his opin-
ions according to the most revised
political authorities, instead of cling
ing with the zeal of fanaticism to the
exploded ideas that s'protection is the
salvation of the country" and that
"the foreigner pays the tax?"
