WILL NOT MOVE.
Business Exchange Wants Another Five
Years Lease of the Present Quarters.

Tears Lease OF the present 0uartetS'
An important meeting of the board of
directors of the Builders Exchange was
held at exchange headquarters in the
Knowles building yesterday and as a
result many changes of benefit to the
members of the exchange will be at
once begun.
The meeting of the directors was held
at o'clock and was largely attended.
1t was voted to install a speaking tube
system between the secretary's office
and the smoking room and also to con-
meet in the same manner the rooms oc-
cupied by S. II. Kimball & Son.
1t was also voted to extend the sys-
tenn of electric lighting in the exchange,
separate light being provided for each
desk space The desks which at present
occupy positions at the front of the hall
near the Main street windows are to be
removed and given positions along the
Chatham street side Of the building and
| also along the north wall. This will i'm
prove the appearance of the exchange
and provide ample room for tenants.
Two new bulletin boards are to be put
in at once and the post office boxes in
the smoking room are to be removed,
the new metal boxes in the main hall
| taking their places. The new boxes were
put in by C. w. Walls & Co., and are
| of pleasing design. Checker tables are
to be put in the smoking room for the
amusement of members, and the room
| is to be otherwise re1itted and fur
nished.
The lease of the rooms now occupied
by the exchange expires April l, and it
| was decided to instruct the secretary to
| renew the lease for the term of five
years. By this action the question of
| the removal of the exchange to another
location is settled for five years at least,
| and the directors consider that they
| have made a wise move in deciding to
remain in the old quarters.
AT o'clock there was a meeting of
the full exchange. Three applications
for membership were received and
placed on file. The new plans adopted
| by the directors were discussed and
| fully explained. Vice Chairman B. c.
| Fiske, who is chairman of the banquet
committee, was unable to be present,
'and the meeting of that committee
which was to have been held was post
poned until next week. 1t has been de-
cided to hold the banquet on the 2Sth
the same evening as that selected by
the Board of Trade and it is thought
| that the two events may conflict as
many members of the exchange are also
members of the Board of Trade.
An effort is to be made to effect some
understanding regarding speakers for
that occasion. The date selected is the
most available for the exchange in the
minds of a majority of the banquet
committee.
The register stand which has been at
the lower end of the hall is to be re-
moved and placed near the entrance.

SUDDENLY INSANE.
Mrs. Anton karalus Creates a Scene Ia
City Hall.


City Hall.
An insane woman with no other app
parent mania than to yell az the top Of
her voice, and attempt a disrobina
scene, made things very lively within
the sacred precincts of tho city hall
yesterday forenoon. She entered tina
building unnoticed, and the hrst intaliSs
gence Of her presence was when she
lined up before the cashiers window
in the treasurer's office and gave vent
to screecb that would have put q
Comanche Indian to the blush.
City Treasurer White was uncertain
as to Just what course he should p1lrs
sue. The wonin was evidently de-
mented but nothing more serious than
to yell at the top of her voice, and rave
wildly In language that was gibber-
ish to her listeners. Janitor George II.
Sawin was In the mayors office when
the woman began her raving, and after
locating the trouble led the woman out
OF the treasurer's office into the corri-
dor, where an attempt was made to
Keep her OPP seat until the patrol wng-
on arrived! =
The woman struggled fuuously. and
attempted to disrobe, but was held
until the police arrived and took her
to the station house. She gave the name
OF Mrs. Anton Karalus of 3 Byron
street. She has husband and three
children.
Mr.. Karalus works nights, and when
he came home yesterday morning not
iced that his wife acted strangely, but
thought nothing of it at the time, as
she has not been feeling well for some
time past. The first he knew of her i'm
sanity was when notified that his wife
was held at the police station.
The unfortunate woman was exam
ined, adjudged insane and committed
to the Worcester Insane hospital Mrs.
Karalus was patient OF the same in
stitution about years ago.

IN HER MEMORY.
A Fitting Tribute to the Life and charac
ter of Elizabeth D. Burnside.

kCt VI h-tiEoHOhh ~ odiuSi1O'
esteem it a privilege, TO pay a tri-
butte to the memory of Elizabeth
Dwight Burnside. She was daughter
of Hon. Samuel M. Burnside formerly
lawyer Of high standing and reputa-
ton, and a contemporary at the bar
with Charles Allen, Emory Washburn
Pliny Merrick and Peter c. Bacon. The
late Dwight Foster; associate justice of
the supreme judicial court, was her
cousin.
Highly gifted intellectually, her broad
intelligence and polished wit none who
have known her can forget. A fine
scholar and linguist, she always kept
well in touch with all the interests Of
i the hour, both at home and abroad
fully contributing her part to the choice
society which she adorned. Her mind in
cluded in its scope not only the field Of
letters, but that of musical literature
and composition as well. OF this phase
of art she was particularly fond, gener-
ousIy contributing to make Worcester
the center of musical education, and
gathering about her the best talent to
be secured; also. giving her friends
much pleasure by her own singing. She
was given to hospitality" never hap
pier than with friends around her own
festive board, sparkling, Intelligent,
with no little of the zest and the wit
born of ancient and modern learning,
spurning the hours as they fed away.
She passionately loved the beauties of
nature. She never tired Of driving over
the hills Of her native city, and seeking
the varied scenery of mountain and sea.
Nothing gave her greater delight than
the returning verdure and blossoms
that were sure to come with the
spring.
Flowers sprang up where'er she
trod,' and as June, the month of her
favorite blossoms, draws near, those
who loved her best will picture Eliza
beth Burnside in her beautiful garden,
where, like the fair st. Elizabeth of
Hungary, she gathered the abundant
roses, distributing them freely to all the
sick and suffering within her reach.
Nor was this her only charity. She gave
freely to the poor and never stayed her
hand nor turned the needy from her
door.
Among the many endowments of mind
and person, she had one special gift
that of perpetual youth.
Would that she could, as last benef-
cence, have left the secret of that gift
to the world
So it happened that Elizabeth Burn
side knew well the meaning of friends,
but never seemed to know what an en-
envy was like
It followed naturally that she loved
this world and found life therein to be
very good Surely the world has been
better for that life. 7. G. X.

PARK EXTENSION.
Postmaster Greene Has Scheme for In
creasing Park Area at the Lake.

Postmaster j. Evarts Greene is in
terested in project at the present
time for an extension of the present
park system of the city. The land abodt
the shores of Lake Quinsigamond be-
tween the boulevards and lake shore
is the field upon which he would work.
The narrow strip of land is of little
value and the system could be arranged
for with very little expense.
Nor would Mr. Greene confine the
park to the Worcester shore alone. His
plan would be to build on the Shrews-
bury shore as well. The plan also pro-
vides for Strengthening the course at
the lake by taking off sections of King
and Stoddard points. which with a sus-
pension bridge at the causeway would
provide Worcester with one of the most
beautiful parks as well one Of the finest
water courses in the world

Sale Of Fair Grounds Makes
1t Inevitable.

The decision of the Worcester Agri-
cultural Society to dispose of the fair
grounds, smeans that the Worcester
DRIVING Club WILL in the very near flu
ture, erect it's long talked of CLUB house
ana lay out a half-mile trottirg track
that will be equal to any track in New
England.
one of the officers of the Driving Club
said yesterday to 4 Spy man that the
association would not allow any grass
to grow under its feet, and that one of
the best appointed tracks and 1lub
houses would soon be a reality, and
that by May l. 1900, Worcester would
once again taketh place it sho lid oc-
cupy in the trotting world.
The committee which was recently
appointed by President John + Sher-
man, Is carefully considering several
different pieces of land in the imme-
date vicinity of Worcester. 1t seems
to be the general opinion of the mem
bers Of the club that it would re more
suitable to select grounds in tie sub
urbs, and it is said that site near
Shrewsbury and within mile of the
lake is looked upon very favorabiy, and
II the club can secure the land at d
reasonable figure it is more than likely
that the house and track will
be erected so that 1t can be used as
soon as May /, 1900.
The Worcester Driving Club can raise
almost any reasonable amount of
money in very short time, ara If the
committee should report favorably
upon any site the money would be
forthcoming.
A weil-known member said yesterday
to a Spy. man that horsemen from Bos-
ton, New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl7
vania and even from the far west would
much rather come to Worcester than
to go to Mystic, and If any induce
ments could be offered, Worcester
could give the best trotting meet given
in the New England states.

EAVORITE PRESCRIPTION
1t Makes Weak Women Strong,

1t acts directly on the organs affected
and is at the same time general tonic
for the whole system. 1t cures female
complaint right in the privacy of home
1t makes unnecessary the disagreeable
questioning, examinations and local
treatment so universally insisted upon
by doctors, and 50 abhorrent to every
modest woman

an almost helpless condition, suffering from
female weakness Last September decided to
his Favorite Prescription am now Happy

try them"
