ROMANCE OF & PRETTY NURSE.
A dispatch from Woodstock, Va,
says: Wooed and won by graduate
of the class of '99, OF the Maryland Uni
virsity School of Medicine in Baltimore,
Miss Bessie Allen, former member OF
the junior class OF nurses of the hospital
connected with that institution, came

There is delightful romance con-
nected with Miss Aliens marriage. Sew
eral years ago when she entered the
Mary land University Hospital to learn
the profession of q trained nurse, she
had little thought of mstrimony.
So it was with Guerard, who
was working hard for his sheepskin un'
iii be met Miss Allen. He at once be-
came her ardent admrer, and there
was reciprocation by the young lady.
Iu due time he proposed and was &C.
cepted. 1t was planned that after his
graduation the doctor was 10 go to Sa-
vaunah ard beein to practice, coming
oack 20 clsim his sweetheart when she
had finished her course. When gradu
alton time came nearer the young Sc
nior decided that it was impossible for
dim to 90 back home without Miss AL
len. He pleaded with her for an
earlier marriage and she consented.
Accordingly last week, she resigned,
reiuquished her duties at the hospitai
and came home to prepare for her nup-
tials. DR.. Guerard followed her yes,er.

THEY ARE NOT PROHIBITED.
License Board win Continue to Grant
Permits for Boxing Shows.

A decision that will interest most of the
members of the local sporting fraternity
was made yesterday afternoon.
The decision was made by City Solicitor
A. P. Rugg, and was to the effect that
boxing exhibitions, as they have been
conducted in this city, were strictly with
in the letter of the law and that the Ii
cense board could legally grant licenses
for them.
The decision was made by the city So
licitor at the request of Chief brennan of
the license board, the board as a whole
being a trifle in the dark as to whether it
lay within their province to grant such
licenses.
The statement that has been made in a
morning paper to the effect that the
members of the license board were op-
posed to boxing tournaments is utterly
without foundation. Chief brennan when
asked his views, said without a moment S
hesitation:
objection to such exhibitions as that
which was recently given in the rink un-
der the auspices of the Worcester Ath-
letic Club. 1t was there. and in the audi
ence | saw many prominent business and
professional men; the best of order was
maintained throughout, and there was
nothing rough or brutal about the boxing
bouts on that occasion. There has al
ways been sufficient number of police on
hand at all of these exhibitions which had
been held in the past to preserve order,
and the police have positive orders that
If any of the boxing bouts approached
brutality to put stop to the exhibition.

OUR COAL INDUSTRY.

mot many people are probably
aware that the coal mined in the Unit
ed States annually is worth more than
three times as much as the gold mined
here" said a Pennsylvania coal miner
to Star reporter, yesterday. 'HThe
product of the anthracite fields alone
exceeds in value the output of the gold
mines of this country, Canada and
Alaska, which last year amounted to
over $50,090,0 900. Td
East of the Rocky Mountains there
are 10000 square miles of coal lands,
and the yearly output is nearly 200
100000 tons. Biologists estimate the
-'e9t coal fields Of the world as fol-
lows: China, 100000; United States,
co.'s, of the Rockies, 100, 1000: Canada,
$1,000; India, $500; New South Wales,
$4,000; Russia, 10000, and the United
Kingdom, 1850 square miles. There
are many deposits in other countries,
but their extent is inconsiderable.
England's coal area is small; still she
for years produced more than any
other country.
Now the United States is ahead.
English coal Veins are thin; one only
IA inches wide, has been worked 1900
feet down. On the other hand, there
are veins in the Pennsylvania anthra-
ctte region 60 feet thick, and in the
bituminous regions IS feet thick. Our
Appalachian coal fields are the largest
known and alone could supply the
whole world for centuries to come. At
the present rate of production it is
estimated that our coal fields will be
exhausted in GIG years. while those Of
England will last but 212 years. The
first coal found in America was near
ottawa, ILL.,, by FIR. Hennepin, French
explorer. in 1879. It was first mined on
the Schuylltil during Washingtons
administration.-W Washington Star.

the remainder of that year and
through ST. Then he went into the
american Association to umpire, re-
naming there until the break of the
brotherhood, in SO. He umpred in the
protherhood in that year, and the fol-
towing season was in the Western
League. "Gaff' was called back to the
Natlonal League in August, 81. re-
naming there through '92 and '93. He
started in with the Eastern in "a, but
joined forces with the big league again
on July 4. His last appointment to the
national League was received June %
OF last season, and he is on the staff
again for SO. Gaffneys return to the
Dig league last summer was hailed with
JOY by the cranks all over the country.
Like every man who has been so long
connected with base ball, Gaffney has
received some injuries while in the
game. He carries to this day a scar
on the bridge of his nose received when
that member was broken in Sioux City,
IN 1890. Bill Hart who was with Chi
cago last year, pitched swift ball
That caught Gaffney square in the
mask. One of the wires broke and i'm
bedded itself in Gaffney's nasal organ,
days.
his other serious injury came while
working at Philadelphia the preceding
year. He was standing behind the
pltcher, and knowing that the bats
man intended to bunt, started to run
with the pitching of the ball. When the
mad given his decision he found he
was within a couple of yards of the
fence dividing the field from the
bleachers. Rather than jump over the
renee and into the crowd Gaffney put
out one-foot to stop himself against the
fence One of the muscles in his hip
snapped by the sudden jar and Calf
ney was on the shelf for some time
DE- Berynas at the time said he would
be obliged to wear a Hutchinson shoe
Tor the rest of his life, but so far he
mas not found this necessary. He did.
however, wear a specially har-
ness to support his hip for a couple of
years after the injury.
First and last, Gaffney has put a
number of ball players into the Ma
tlonaI League, or, rather, they have
peen taken in upon, his recommends
ton. Jimmy Ryan of the Chicagos
and Billy Hamilton of the Bostons
would neither of them probably be
playing league ball today had it not
been for the recommendations thew re-
celYed from the Worcester man.
GaHney spends his winters at home
with his family in this city, but is
very rarely seen on the street or down
town. He is running a pool room over
on the west side, is tending strictly to
business and says that he finds it
profitable as a side issue to occupy his
time during the off season.

MAY BE HELD ELSEWHERE,
In srcoiegiats Association Nav Not Have
Is Annual Meet in Worceste-.

Worcester may not get the New England
intercollegiate meeting this year. At least
no concerted effort will be made to induce
the college boys to come to this city, as
has been the case in some former years.
The annual meeting of the association
will be held in Boston ON Saturday, and
at that time the location of the champion
ship meeting for 80 will undoubtedly be
settled.
Ever since the college games came to
this city, six years ago Frank FL. Bige-
low has been instrumental in getting the
association to vote in favor of Worcester,
and last year he appeared before the
committee promising liberal Inducements
If the association would take favorable
action upon Worcester.
The objection was raised at that time
that the newspaper road race might come
the same day, in which case the attend
ance at the college games would suffer.
Mr.. Bigelow saw those who were promot-
ing the newspaper race, ana an agree
ment was reached whereby the race and
the intercollegiate meeting would not
come on the same day. In other words
1t was promised that the road race should
not take place on the Saturday the col
lege men desired for their games
This information was impaired to the
executive committee of the association
by Mr.. Bigelow, and the association voted
to come here. On the afternoon of the
games the officers of the association
found the road race was in full progress
and, being d free event, naturally drew
many away from the games. They felt
that they were not being used rightly,
and placed a good deal of the blame upon
Mr.. Bigelow, although it was in no way
his fault.
For this reason Mr.. Bigelow says he
does not feel like going down to Boston
and making any more promises that are
afterwards violated. He told a Spy man
meeting.
