AVOIDS COLLISION
DR.. H. N. H. Lugrin
Has a New Life Saw
ing, Invention.
FOG .LIF TER.
Clears Dense Vapors From
Before Vessels by Com
j. VI .ig pressed Air.

DR.. H. N. H. Lugrin OF 1 Maple place,
this. CITY, is. the inventor of contriv-
ance which ship owners throughout the
world are watching with interest.
The inventor claims that by the use
of it ship win be able to travel the
seas in a, dense fog as free from
chances Of collision or running
aground as in clear weather.
DR.. Lugrin first perceived the idea for
his invention about three years ago,
when the ST. Paul and Paris, two big
ocean liners, went ashore by losing
their course in dense fog. The inven-
tion consists of about 70 feet of piping
connected with blower in the engine
from the engine room to the pilot house,
and by turning lever the air is sent
through the tube.
According to the inventor, the air
from the steam will lift the fog for a
distance Of 300 feet ahead of the yes
sci. an experiment was made in East
Boston with a small blower when a
dense fog enveloped everything in the
harbor and the fog was lifted for a dis
lance of 17S feet. In a space of three
seconds after the air from the hose
was shut off the fog fell again and not
one of the party present with DR.. Luz
grin could see three feet ahead of
them.
Patents have been secured from the
the patent office at Washington and a
party of Worcester gentlemen are be-
hind the construction
Invitations have been rendered to the
largest ship owners in America for a
steamer ride, on which the party will
go in search of fogs to demonstrate the
ability. of the machine. DIR. Lugrin is
the inventor Of the flexible door.

SONGS ON THE SCREEN.
Y. M. c. A. Meeting Strong combina-
ton Of the Patriotic and the Spiritual.

One of the most interesting and in
structive services ever held by the
Young Mems Christian association took
place in Association hall yesterday af-
ternoon, when Rev John M Dick of
Boston gave a continuance of his il
Illustrated address on the life of Christ.
Mr.. Dicks pictures, which were
shown by the aid of the stereopticon,
were secured by the speaker during
recent European tour, and were splend-
idly reproduced for the benefit of his
audience, yesterday afternoon. The
views were taken from works of the
greatest masters of the old world, and
the beautiful reproductions with accu-
racy in regard to detail in coloring and
facial expression, constitute strong
sermon in themselves.
The pictures shown yesterday take
up the story where it was dropped a
week ago, and dealt with principal
events in the remainder of Christ's life
on earth. Better results were obtained
yesterday than week ago, by a more
effectual darkening of the hall, and
despite the disadvantages under which
views are given at this time of the
day, showed with remarkable clearness.
Previous to the address proper Of the
afternoon, the words and music of
America" and "The star spandled
banner" were thrown upon the screen
and the audience invited to join in sing
ing these national selections. When the
chorus of the latter song was reached
the slide bearing the words was with
drawn, and reproduction of the Amer
lean flag unfurled to the breeze shown
in It's place as a. additional incentive
to the singers and with the double sig
nificance of reminding the audience that
the Y. NJ G. A. is the only public build
ing in town which has not a flag to
display on occasions when the national
emblem is displayed. The speaker hoped
that the picture on the canvas would
serve as an incentive to some of those
present to see that the association is
provided with the stars and stripes.
There was a special meeting for boys
previous to mems meeting, when Mr..
Dick told them an illustrated story en-
titled 1.-The road to heaven"

HAVE GRIEVANCES.
PrIsoners.say There Are Too Many occu-
pants of the Cells in Which They Are
Confined.

Members of the Worcester police de-
partment may have their troubles in
their lodgings at station 1, but those
who make police department neces-
sary, have troubles also. The tramps
also think they have a grievance
against the city.
Prisoners who are forced to occupy
cells at station l, say that there is no
danger of being driven insane by soli-
tary confinement, as every cell is in
habited in large enough numbers to
keep a census taker on the jump.
For a number of months the condi-
ton of the cells at station / has been
bone of contention. The day door
man is supposed to keep the cells clean.
A short time ago the day man was
called up and told that the cells were
in bad condition. He thought they were
all right and the night doorman was
told to investigate officer Piper, who
is doorman nights, did as he WIS told.
He waited until after the midnight
hour, and, stealing stealthly into one
of the cells, he quickly drew a piece of
paper along one of the corners of a
cell, and caught about 10 good sized
specimens They were put to death, one
by one, and enclosed in an envelope and
handed to the doorman the following
day.
He protested that the cells could not
be. kept clean, and it was decided to
remove some of the fixtures, hut tho
officials were afraid to disturb tine fur
nishings of the cells without a watching,
and accordingly fire was built in each
cell to drive the vermin out of their
abode. Some of the woodwork WAS re-
moved, and the narrow strips of wood
which the prisoners are allowed 70. use
as beds, were propped up with iron
brackets.
The day doorman and the night door
man did not speak as they passed by
for some time, but finally made UP and
are now friends.
After the repairs were made, nothing
more was heard from the prisoners
until John Gaffney, the Boston horse
dealer, who was arrested on complaint
Of Capt Levi Lincoln for obtaining
property under false pretences, was
confined at station /.
Mr. Gaffney was brought to Wo-ces-
ter and lodged in one of the cells, and
his experience, as he related it to one
of the officers, was beyond conception.
He was unable to sleep, and v-hiled
away the long hours of his couane
ment by brushing the vermin off his
clothes.
The officials of the police department
have attempted to get rid of the bed
bugs in their quarters by applying CO.
rosive sublimate to each bed, but the
bugs have fed to a sheathing partition
for protection, and the emergency fvrce
see trouble ahead

REWARDS ARE GOLDEN.
Sacred Heart Lyceum Ticket Selling
Contest to Be Lively Competition.


Contest to Be Lively Composition.
The strawberry festival to be given
in Mechanics Hall in the early part Of
June, under the auspices of the Sacred
Heart Lyceum, promises to be one of
the most successful affairs of the sea-
son. The committee in charge has de-
cided to offer large gold prizes in tina
ticket selling contest, and already three
of the most popular young ladies' of
South Worcester have consented to the
use of their names. The prizes will be
SIS in gold to the lady selling the most
tickets and $S5 in gold to the lady who
wins second place. The ladies who
will appear in the friendly rivalry are
Miss Polly Cotter, Miss Mary Lynch
and Miss Grace Taylor.
Already much enthusiasm has been
displayed in the contest and tickets are
in great demand. The ticket selling
contest will close promptly at o'clock,
June 4 There will be further prizes
for the most popular young lady, and
the most popular member OF the Lyce-
UNI, in the way of bicycles, gold
watches and other valuable reward.
The ladies who are to have charge
of the booths and tables are taking a
deep interest in the festival and are
planning to have the~booths beauti-
fully draped and decorated The young
ladies who are associated with the
Lyceum will preside. A formal meet
ing of those who are to assist in the
affair will be held at the hall. Monday
evening, when the department heads
will be appointed

the best colored vote will unite in
electing the best candidates, and local
ly the white man will rule. The most of
the controversy results from the deter
mination of the protested friends of the
negro to place him in control before he
is prepared to fulfill the obligations of
office"
This may or may not be along the
lines of southern thinking in general,
but presumably it is. Personally it
seems. entirely improbable that the
problem can ever be settled by any
amalgamation of the races. 1t will come
through processes of education. Some
think that colonization will finally de-
liver over large sections of the south
to the colored people and thus the So
luton would be through separation. OF
this / am sure that few people of the
north have any such understanding of
the motives and temper of the south
ern people or of the intricacies of the
problem before them as to be able to
pass a fair judgment. There are null
titudes of people in the south who are
conscientiously striving to secure the
best interests of all. Tradition and edu-
cation have much to do with their
judgments and conclusions. The proper
attitude of the north is not censorious-
ness, but a kindly solicitude and gen
uine interest
We want unity. This republic must
find its supporters in every section. No
part of it can suffer without injury to
every other part. We revert to the
book. 1t is our only hope of unity. A
better knowledge of the Bible and a
closer application of its principles and
teachings to every day life can alone
eradicate the evils that threaten. There
is positively no true solution of any of
these problems apart from Christian
ity.
God rules and the day is surely COM
ing when the hand of violence will be
fully controlled. We are a part of a
mighty republic and its mission is
clear. Liberty and righteousness must
be it's watchwords to the end.

ENTIRE SUCCESS.
Model Tractor of Auto-truck Leaves
Nothing to Be Desired.

The model tractor made by ths
American Wheelock Engine Company
for the New York Auto-Truck Con-
pany was tested Saturday by Joseph
H. Hoadley. president of the Interna-
tional Power Company, and Walter H.
Knight, chief engineer of the same
company. The highest expectations. of
the gentlemen were fully realized by
the success of the tractor, which was
able to draw a heavy loaded coal truck
up a steep grade without the slightest
difficulty. This was the most severe
test the machine has ever had, and it
was found that there was nothing left
to be desired in the smoothness and
ease of operation.

MAY MoT APReAR.
Albert Brown, the Local Member of Ju-
laArthur's compauy,is Suffering From
Throat Trouble. uA

It is undoubtedly owing to the fact
that Albert Brown is in the cast Of
The Lady Of Quality" and not to the
excellence of that production. or the
prestige of Miss Arthurs acting, that
the Worcester Theatre is practically
bought up for tonight's performance.
Mr.. Brown arrived in Worcester Sat
urday afternoon and has been staying
at the house Of his father on Harring-
ton avenue. Unfortunately he was suf-
fering yesterday from extreme hoarse-
ness; due to paralysis Of the vocal
chords. and 1t seemed possible yester-
day that he might not be able to act
this evening.
His failure to appear would be a
great disappointment to his many
friends, who are preparing to give him
most cordial welcome

George w. Orr presided at the meet
