EVEN THING YET.
No One Dare Venture Guess on Probable
Winners Of Worcester Gun Club Pres.

The eighth weekly shoot of the Wor-
cester Gun Club, yesterday, completed
the first half of the series, and no one
is even able to guess the winners of
any of the prizes, except in the mer-
chandise race, which is finished each
week.
There are more members in an even
race for the Parker gun this year than
last, and more shooting in the double
bird race. The Remington trophy is
not now so close, but scores will be
made up which will change the places
of the shooters before many weeks.
ToLgas won a point for first place in
the mixed race, and Davis tied with
LANCE for second, when Fuller with
drew.
Tougas, Davis and LANCE won a
point each for the Davenport trophy.
TouEas won the Remington race with
targets scored out of 10.
Tougas, Davis and LANCE made full
scores for the Parker trophy.
LANCE and Davis tied on the mer-
chandise race, and Lange won on the
first tie.

next Wednesday, there is the vacation

Civic club. John E. Lynch, principal

coming have been asked to meet the

have two classes in the forenoon and
two in the afternoon, so that SO pupils

among the children, and it is very en-
ceuraging to see how much is being
done in their behalf. One of the best
things the park commissioners ever did
was to fit up East and Crompton parks
with swings, parallel bars, sand heaps
and the like for the use of the children.
We are trying to keep the boys and
girls from falling into harms way by
Offering them inducements to keep
straight, and manual training is one of
the best means to this end 1 know of.
Now, each city. has its own problems
of poverty and evil, and what holds
true Of one often does not hold of an
other. Worcester is not like Chicago
or New York or Boston. What a stu
dent at this New York training school
would learn might not be at all what
would be needed here in Worcester,
and, on the other hand, he might grad
uate quite helpless when confronted
with some of our problems. 1 should
think it would be better for persons who
intend to work here to study this
ground rather than New York, where
conditions are totally different. In gem
eral experience might be trusted to
teach what was necessary, and that
could only be obtained on the ground
itself, by daily contact with our pecu-
liar elements"
II should like tremendously to CO."
said Miss Miriam F. Witherspoon, sec
rotary of the Associated Charities,
when asked what she thought of the
school. Last year know it was talked
over at the 25th national conference
of corrections and charities that l at
tended in New York, and included both
theoretical and practical work, such IS
the visiting of public and private in
situations in New York. That alone is
an education, there are so many Of
them.
Il don't know that I quite ought to
say it, and yet, sociology is in labora-
tory state today; we are all working
toward something. Sometimes q new
book is published that sets every one
to thinking and talking. Some of 1t re-
mains a permanent Requirement and
there is so much gained for every one.

ST. ONCE GETS CONTRACT.
Began Last Night to Garry Mail from the
Station to Post office.

Ernest st. Onge began his work of
transporting mail between the post Of
flee and Union station at Z o'clock last
night. The question of whether John
flanagan, who has had the contract for
several months past, or st. Onge, was
to do the work, was settled yesterday,
when Mr.. Greene received a dispatch
from Contractor j. c. Crafts, informing
him that ST. Onge was to be allowed to
take the mail
The fact that the government con-
tract calls for screened wagons in
which the mail bags shall be transport
ed to and from, the Union station,
proved something of delay in the way
of st. Onge taking the place. flanagan
offered to sell his wagons, but st. Onge
was not satisfied with their construc-
ton, and it was finally arranged that
he should be allowed to use the closed
wagons used by him last spring, until
some different arrangement can be
made.

come faithfully and do good work, and
the mothers will be expected to vouch
for their sons in order for them to be

TOWN SAID YES.
Appropriation of $4,000 for New School
Building Is Made,

appropriation OF Soooo foT New School
Building Is Made.
The additional appropriation of $4,000
for the new school house was voted on
at the town meeting this evening and
resulted in appropriating the sum de-
sired by the school committee, who have
been unanimously in favor OF it from
the start. The vote this evening stood
81 TO 81 and the tie was broken by Mod
orator Thomas +. Larkin, who cast his
vote in favor of the appropriation.
Judge John w. Corcoran spoke in favor
of the motion and said that the school
committee was unanimously in favor
or the passage of the appropriation
This was a decisive victory for the
school committee over the local paper
which has been opposed to 1t and has
fought against it's passage for the past
two weeks. Judge Corcoran explained
the appropriation. by saying that the
estimated cost of the building would be
$4,000, according to the only plans pre-
scented that are satisfactory to the com
mittee.

guard. If a clash occurs it is more
likely to be In Louisville.
AT Bowling Green there has been a
particularly bitter fight of the dem
ocratic factions and extra police have
been sworn in. But at this and other
larger towns nothing more serious than
the usual election day casualties is
expected. In Louisville the greatest
feeling has been aroused. One demo-
cratic faction controls the police, while
the other has made the alleged inter
ference of these officers with the local
primaries and election machinery one
of it's principal campaign cries. Mayor
Weaver has issued a proclamation ap
pealing for order and cautioning the
police.
Governor Bradley is in the city and
will remain here until after election.
A number of reports have been cur
rent to-day as to orders said to have
been sent to militia companies through
out the state to hold themselves in
readiness for a call. The usual de-
tails of men placed on guard at the
armory of the Louisville Legion in this
city at election times is on duty. In
this state of preparedness the authori-
ties are waiting the passing of to-
morrow. Beyond the anxiety which
Springs lTolll d hIloWleuSe OI tle leel-
ing aroused in the campaign and the
possibility always present in a city
election of an outbreak of trouble with
a certain class of political workers,
there is nothing to indicate that their
services will be required.
The campaign closed tonight with
large meetings which We're addressed
by the state party leaders. The dem
Ocrats crowded Music hall to listen to
the last speech of their leaders, Will
lam Goebel and Senator Blackburn,
before the election. The republicans
held a rousing meeting at the Audi
torium, where Governor Bradley and
Others spoke. Each of the state chair
men predicts success for his ticket,
and in any guess as to the result re-
lance must be placed upon pure
chance. The vote of the Brown demo-
cratic ticket Is an unknown quantity
and it is likely to be the determining
factor.

FINAL ESTIMATES MADE
1t All Depends Upon the Jones
Vote in Ohio.
DEMOCRATS ARE UNITED
Bitter Campaign May Lead to Trouble
at the Polls in Kentucky-Fusion-
lists Confident OF a Big
Plurality in Nebraska.

Cincinnati, Nov. 6.-There are six can
didates for governor to be voted for in
Ohio tomorrow. Three of them claim
their election is sure, but no one ex-
cept Mayor Samuel NJ. Jones and his
most Jealous supporters make any such
claim as that of the election of Jones'
The Jones vote will reduce the vote of
all others, including that of the pro-
hibitionists, the union reform and the
social labor tickets. And the result de-
pends very materially on where most
of the Jones vote will come from. 1t is
certain either George N. Nash, repub-
lican, or John r. Mclean, democrat,
will be elected If Jones pulls more
from the democrats than from the re-
publicans, the prediction of Chairman
Dick that Nash will have $4,000 plurality
may be realized. But if Chairman Sew
ard is correct in assuming that Jones
will draw much more heavily from the
republicans than from the. democrats,
then Mclean will be elected. The dem
ocratic managers have made much
capital of the fact that Jones has been
republican up to this campaign and
that he was himself connected with
trust and that he would not pledge
himself to vote for Bryan in 1900
AS Ohio is normally a republican
state, Jones could draw more heavily
from the republicans and still not affect
the result We're it not for the factional
feeling which may also cost Judge Nash
some republican votes. 1t is conceded
that all votes that can be controlled
by Governor Bushnell. eX-Chairman
kurtz and other anti-Hanna republi-
cans will be cast for Mclean, but this
factional work may not extend to 9TH
ers on the republican state ticket
Meantime the gold democrats as we'll
as the Bryan democrats are supporting
Mclean and there is no factional fuss
among the democrats. The campaign
has been bitter, dirty and full of
charges and countercharges. 1t is of
course expected that this vicious ten
dency will continue at the polls to-
morrow and that there will be many
arrests, especially in the cities.

Lieutenant General Sir Butler will go

tion for himself.
Their is also possibility of a move
ment through Delagoa bay, and the ad-
miralty notice regarding the transports
simply means in all likelihood that
news of their movements is to be sup
pressed. Stormberg was understood to
be the depot where stores, tents,
guns, ammunition and all the commits

der Sir William Gatacre, were in pro-
cess of accumulation. The stores
have been removed to Queenstown and
an obvious explanation of their removal
arises from the Boer advance from Bot
hulie and Aliwal North.
In view of the near approach of Brit
ish reinforcements, Boer invasion of
Cape Colony could hardly have been
regarded very seriously. There may
be. therefore, another reason for the
withdrawal and the stores destined by
repute for Queenstown may be intended
for East London or Durham. 1t may be

Democrats Expect to Cut Down the Re-
publican Plurality.

Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 6.--Every-
thing is in readiness for the battle of
ballots among the various parties in
Iowa tomorrow. The campaign has
been warmly waged by both the lead
ing parties and the chairmen of both
state committees express confidence in
polling comparatively full vote for
an off year and each claims victory.
The three minor parties in the field
do not hope to more than maintain
their organizations. Chairman Weav-
er of the republican committee esti-
mates that the plurality for his party
will run from 10000 to $4,000, while
Chairman Huffman is satisfied with
saying that he believes enough dis
affected republicans will refuse to vote
or will vote the democratic ticket to
give a. small plurality to the demo-
cratic ticket. In any event. he hopes,
if defeated. to cut down the normal
republican plurality to such an ex-
tent that the democrats can claim a
republican defeat.
The best estimates on the legislative
ticket are that the republicans will
have an overwhelming majority on
joint ballot and elect the next United
