both Senate and House, and the end
Is not yet, for it will take at least
another day to properly index and re-
cord the remainder before they can be
presented.
Aside from the amount Of new bus
iness there was little If any interest in
either branch Tomorrow will be a
busy day, and after that the regular
routine of business will go on as
usual.
The amount of new business is more
this session than for some few years,
and there will undoubtedly be quite a
little more put in under suspension of
the rules later on. This may not mean
a longer session than last year, but it
certainly does not indicate a shorter
one.

COMING ROUND.
Athelstan Lodge Regards
Temple More Favorably.

The regular communication of Ath-
elstan Lodge last evening, was the
1rst that has been held since the COM
mittee of SO and representatives of the
different Masonic bodies of Worces-
ter conferred over the new plans for
the Masonic temple
The proposition to rescind the for
mer action on the bylaws was talked
over in an informal way before the
lodge went into session
Athelstan Lodge was one Of those
that rejected the original proposition
of the committee of 92 relative to
the assessment clause in the change
of bylaws as a means towards pay
ng for the new temple.
AT the time, they assumed a very
decided attitude on the question, and
their present marked disposition to give
careful consideration to the new over
cures OF the committee, may be consid-
ared as fair indication of the general
feeling among the fraternity through
out the city.
Although the new proposition was
talked over thoroughly in the early
evening, no formal action was taken
upon it, and indeed the subject was not
brought up for discussion.
The members are very 1eticent about
talking over the question, particularly
in view Of the fact that they were the
most bitter in their opposition to the
first plans. But it is learned upon the
very highest authority, that special
meeting of Athelstan Lodge has been
called and will be held propably on
Friday evening" when the DrOnoSition
will be discussed in all its bearings,
and some definite action will be taken
on the question.
The result of Friday evenings meet
ing will settle in q great measure the
action of the other Masonic bodies in
Worcester.
That it will be largely attended, goes
without saying, and every indication
points to a favorable solution of the
difficulty that has 50 long been an OBJ
stacle to the erection of the new tenn
pie

ABOUT THE STATE HOUSE

The gypsy moth question was again
before the committee on agriculture
yesterday. The hearing was more in
the nature of testimony than argu-
ment. A long list of witnesses an
peared, and the friends Of the commits
sion appeared to be more in evidence
than the opponents of further appro-
pflatlon. The hearing will be con-
tinued today.
Senator Bailey presided at the hear
ny Oh the committee on mercantile
anairs, at the state house. Yesterday
one of the bills, argument for which
were heard, was one to compel every
steamship company engaged in carry
ing passengers from Boston to any
poft 10 miles or more distant by water,
from Boston, to keep in its office a Hst
or all passengers on board. Represen-
tatiVe Frost of Lawrence, who an
peared in behalf of the bill, said that
II was the result Of the Portland disas-
Ter, IN which case there was no dupli-
cate list of passengers at the office.
Senator Sargent also favored the
measure. There were 20 remonstrants.
Inc committee then took up the hill
accompanying the petition of Mrs,
freeman Palmer and others, for the
incorporation of the Association of
Colleglate Alumnae. Mrs. Palmer said
that this organization is a national as
ISOLATION, embracing 1000 women grad
yates of 19 institutions, and is DEVOTED

tain a higher education. There were
no remonstrants.

n. Nj. Curtis Of New York permission

death penalty Gen Curtis smoke
strongly in its favor.

What gives everybody confidence in DR..
Greene's Nervura is the fact that it is a

Mass, and this successful physician in
curing diseases can be consulted without

returns to the board of commissioners

A CLEVER TRICK.
(From the Detroit Free Pregg.l

(From the Detroit Free Press.)
An ex-collector of customs relates this
as among his experiences: Some years
ago and shortly prior to the holidays,
a man came into the office and said that
he wanted to talk with me personally.
He looked like an unsophisticated fell
low who had come in from the country
to try his hand at business, though he
had sharp features and a nasal two g.

had man there to take care of 'em till
| came on, but he, not KNOWN nothin'
about the law, packs them cigars in a
boat and brings EN- over here without
payin' no duty. L reckon it was snug
Gin, but he's honest as the sun, and
hurried right here soon's l heerd Of
what he'd done. Here's a sample Of
them cigars as he held out a box, and
| want to say right here that 1 never
had more delicious smoke. He took
me to the little room he had rented and
showed me hundreds Of boxes on which
he paid the duty, and / let the matter
drop. 1t got into the papers, even to my
verdict as to the quality of the cigars.
Then my honest Yankee made a
special Christmas sale, patronized
chiefly by women, who did not care so
much about price as they did about the
credit for having once selected good
goods. He was closed out in no time,
and disappeared There was a rank odor
in the local atmosphere that Christmas.
The cigars were cheap Connecticut fill
lers with cheaper Pennsylvania wrap
pers. The cigar he gave me was a
ringer Uncle Sam got money that did
not belong to him, but it was an adj
yertising scheme out of which the
Yankee made a fat thing"

Birmingham, June 29.-There was moth
ing stimulating in Liverpool cables to affect
us. Sales, 1900 bales; futures declined
lid, but New York opened l to points
down, with lquidating feeling, probably
due to the number of July notices having
been issued this morning, and at one time
the market was soft. The weather reports
were announced, and showed very heavy
rains over Texas. Locals became alarmed.
and their efforts at buying advanced the
market temporarily, a part of which was
lost on realizing, as the weather forecast
for the next twenty-four hours was not so
favorable.
