Hebrews Have Favorites in Both Par
ties.
At the meeting of the Hebrew indie
pendent Political Club, in Common
wealth hall, 566 Main street, last night,
candidates for mayor and aldermen
and for common council and school
committee in various wards in the city
were indorsed. 1t was also unani-
mously voted that the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors should be allowed in
Worcester for the coming year.
When the vote was taken on the Ii
cense question, several speeches were
made by members who claimed that
the city was much better off with Ii
censed saloons than with a prohibitory
law against the sale of liquor, as it
tended to breed disturbance rather
than to quell the traffic.
For mayor, Rufus B. Dodge received
the Endorsement of the club. The can
didates for aldermen Endorsed were:
John r. Back, W. Levi Bousquet, Will
liam G. Lichtenfels, E. ]. Mcmahon, P.

CANDIDATE BREACHES.
Rev. 7. w. lIlman Treats of the Drama
Of the Prodiaa Son.

AT the First Uniyersalist church, yes
terday morning, Rev. Thomas w. Ill
man of Philadelphia occupied the pull
pit. His subject was, THE drama of
the prodigal son." and the text was
from Luke, xv:11-32
He said in part: The parable of the
prodigal son is a spiritual drama in
which Christ with the power Of dra-
matte genius, portrays the course of a
self-willed, self-indulgent soul, reach
ing the depth of its degradation and
shame. reborn into morality and san
ity, and completing the loop Of its cir
cult, in penitent return to the home of
waiting affection.
It is drama with a principal and a
subordinate plot. The subordinate plot
is limited at in the very first sentence.
The second act opens with the son per-
forming his mental and degrading la
bors. the comparison Of unclean ami
mails and himself, sharing in their very
food. Was there ever a better chance
for reflection and searching talk, with
himself? His misery becomes un-
bearable. breaks down the last re-
manning barrier of his pride and in the
expressive language of the drama, he
But within that home, what has there
been all this time? There was a tense
silence that never uttered the boys
name. but which was continually filed
with thoughts of him. There was the
heart of waiting and anxious love.
There was the eager, longing eyes
which had never ceased to look for the
youths temperance. AT last the pa
tient, tireless, undying affection is re-
warded. The boys figure appears.
and in spite of it's raggedness and de-
lection. he is recognized. The old man
could not wait. He must run to make
sure that his lost one should not elude
him. Now, in speaking of this drama.
l wish we would remember how fine
an artist Christ was. He did not at
tempt to portray everything in one
drama. We must look for only the
main point to be prominent, and other
things in relation to that.
This parable does not aim to present
the goodness or love of God. His no.
sition is secondary. Read attentiveIv
and you will find that he is simply the
great background against which the
play is set out. His love, his anxiety.
his willingness to forgive, are not act

under the conditions of the plot, was
the greatest possible emphasis.
In this drama it is all the more inn

NEARING THE END.

mittee and Ring in New.

nittee and Ring in New.
The last regular meeting of the re-
publican city committee of 1899 will be
held this evening at republican head
quarters. There is little in the way of
business, with the exception of COM
pleting arrangements for election day
work. All plans are made, and it re-
mains only to give final instructions
and settle on a few matters in wards
where contests are expected, to close
up the business of the year.
The committee appointed at the last
meeting, to arrange for a dinner and
meeting of the old and new members
of the committee, will report tonight,
and arrangements will probably be per-
fected for the gathering which ushers
IN the new and bows out the old mem
bers Altogether, the work of the com
mittee during the past year has been
satisfactory. There has been a no.
ticeable lack of many developments
that have characterized city commit
tees OF former years. The recent I'M
pleasantness was the nearest approach
to trouble, on the surface, at least and
members are to be congratulated on
the way work has been carried through
The most noticeable feature of the
year work has been in the holding of
ward five in the republican ranks.
Much time and hard work has been put
IN and the result is most satisfactory
At present, republicans of the fifth
ward feel justified in claiming the ward
for all time. Certain it is that the dem
ocrats were whipped this year in the
representative fight, when they polled
a much stronger vote than leaders
thought possible to roll up.
Apart from the election Of a new set
OF officers, in which the choice of a
chairman is open to considerable dis
cusslon, the enrolment question will
undoubtedly come UP for its annual
airing at the first meeting of the new
committee, although it seems hardly
probable that the committee will do
away with the system, despite the fact
tnat some Of the old, and new members
as well, are opposed to it.

WHAT A TWo-CENT STAMP WILL
DO.

1t may not be out of place to give
an illustration of the vast distances
letter may travel on the strength OF a
two-cent postage stamp. Suppose one
of the girl readers of the Companion IN
Key West, Fla, has brother in the
Klondike region, who has risked all to
dig fortune from mother earth, and
writes to tell him the news from nome.
She drops the letter in the post ONCE
at Key West, and it starts on its long
journey 1t does not Of necessity,
travel in a straight line to it's destina-
ton, but must follow the twistings and
turnings of the railroads. which have
complete charge of it until the north
west corner of the state Of Washing
ton is reached. When 1t arrives at
Seattle it has passed through IA states,
and yet so far as time Is concerned,
but one-fourth of the journey has been
accomplished.
1t now takes a sea voyage from Seat
tie to Juneau, Alaska, and from the
latter place is carried, as I have already
described, to Circle City 1t may be
taken from there by friendly hands
farther into the Klondike country, and
finally delivered to the anxious brother,
who has been eagerly awaiting the ar
rival of the next party from the nearest
town in which a post Office is conduct
ed, in the hope that some one would
bring him letter.
This letter has now Travelled in the
neighborhood Of 1000 miles-by railroad
steamboat, stage, horseback and, per-
haps, dog sled, and has been on the
road for nearly 40 days, without mo-
ment's rest.
No profit in money accrues to the
government for delivering that letter
indeed, each letter sent into the Klon-
dixie costs the government for trans
portation many times the amount o.
postage charged; but In such cases
should we reckon the profit only in dol
lars and cents?
Should we not consider also the hap

brother as he sits by his fire, perhaps
homesick and lonely but now with
loving smile Illuminating his face, a

MUSICAL NOTES.

The. choir of the First Universalist
church gave an enjoyable vesper ser
vice last evening.
The music by the Old South choir was
excellent, the bass solo with chorus
from Gaups Holy City, A. R. Frank
soio1st; Braga's Angel serenade," by
Miss Ruby Cutler, with violin oblieato.
by Joseph Truda, and the offertoire
Handeps largo, by Mr.. Truda, with or
gan accompaniment, We're among the
especially notable features
AT a concert given by the Kattenborn
quartet in Hoboken, Friday evening
Dec. s, the soloists were Miss Ruby Cut
Ter and Gwilym Miles.
Miss Cutler sings in EFaydn's "Crea-
ton Wednesday evening, with the
| Manchester, N. H. Choral society. and
sings also on the 10Th in a concert at
| Ottawa, Canada, under the patronage
! of Sir Wilfred Laurier and Mrs. Laur-
Ter.
Walter Knowles sings at the concert
to be given by the Clinton Choral union
under the direction Of Eugene Buzzell
as conductor tomorrow evening.
Among other things to be given at this
concert is Becker's eantata, 1.-THE Gyp-
sizes"
At a performance of Handlers "Mes-
siah,' given by the Arion club at Provi-
dence, Friday evening, Dec 8, the solo
lists were Mrs. Carolyn Shepherd of the
Piedmont choir of this city; A. r.
Frank of the Old South choir this city:
Frederick Smith of the Trinity church
choir of Boston, and Miss Clara Butt,
the much talked of English contraIto,
on whose account the concert was
given. The result Of this bit of enter
prise on the part of the management
was an attendance of 1900 standing
room only" being announced days pre-
vious to the concert every seat being
sold, and some 200 or more remained
standing through the concert Applause
was bestowed generously throughout
the evening, fairly divided between
chorus, orchestra and soloists Miss
Butt has a striking figure, feet "a in
ches in height, and voice that reminds
| one of the great contraltos of the past,
Phillips, Drasdil Sterling, Cary, Win
ant and Mrs. Munroe but without the
clearness of tone quality throughout it's
great range or perfection of artistic
finish that characterized either of the
contraltos named.
Miss Butt, however, carries and
sways her audience, and is q popular
| success. She left Providence at the con-
clusion of the concert and sailed for
Liverpool on Saturday. She returns
next winter, and many engagements are
already made for her in this country,
notably performances of St. Saen's
Samson and Delilah." The concert of
Friday night was supposed to put
clear profit of $500 into the pockets Of
the managers.
The Arion club has been in existence
for "a years, always under direction of
Jules Jordan, always with pleasing
musical results, but not always with the
money balance upon the right side of
the ledger. With William Goddard,
however, as president, and also leading
bass in the ranks of the chorus, there
was never any difficulty in making up
all deficiencies. Last season Mr.. Jordan
was invited to add to his musical duties
as conductor, that of business manager
and executive officer of the club, with
the result that the club closed the sea-
son some $500 to the good.

tice has come to the committee that the
Western States and Ohio will not consent
to such blow to industries in which their

that they will organize at once to fight

those who were members of the conference

equal power with the Senate In disposing
of the reciprocity treaties now pending.
Just why the power was granted nobody
seems to know. Republican Senator
who was one of the conferees. said today:

radical reductions in tariff rates as a blow

feel that they would be unable tO salts

they vote the rates up in a tariff bill and
down in a reciprocity treaty. A majority
