STERN JUSTICE.
It Takes Back Seat and Lets a Soldier
Scott Free.

In the central district court yester-
day morning, Clerk of Courts E. T.
Raymond allowed stern justice to take
a back seat for a few moments while
he put Elkin Block a Russian, who
had been arrested for assault and bat
terry on his sister, through a drill that
would do credit to a major general
commanding a division of the United
States army in the Philippines.
Block was called before the Judge
and ordered to plead guilty on a charge
Of assault. His sister was called to
testify against him. but she did not
come around, and Elkin was about to
be sent back to his cell to wait until
Monday, when he told the court in a
very excited manner that he had en-
listed in the United States army and
was bound for the Philippines He
was under orders to leave yesterday
afternoon, and this statement put a
different aspect on the case in the eyes
or the judge, who ordered that the case
be placed on file. AS Block was about
TO leave the court room, Clerk of Courts
Raymond ordered him to stand at at
tenton, look straight to the front, keep
his head erect and salute all of which
Elkln did with grace that would do
credit to an old soldier. His heels
clicked when Clerk Raymond ordered
him to stand at attention, and on the
second command, Left face" Elkin
turned around without moving a mus
Gle. Right shoulder arms" called out
the major in stern voice and Elkin
shouldered an imaginary gun.
He stood as straight as a statue
carved from marble, and not a muscle
in the faces of either the major or
Elkin relaxed. At the next order,
Forward, march," Elkn was off on
his way TO the Philippines direct from
the central district court. AS he left
his place on the witness stand with
stride of l20 steps TO the minute, he
made an angle of 80 degrees and swung
through the door and never looked to
the right or the left.
Arthur J. Smith, charged with
drunkenness was given four months in
the house of correction. Smith would
probably have been allowed to 90 free
but in addition to his jag he insulted a
woman on Front street, and when
searched at the central station a loaded
revolver was found in his pocket. Jer-
ry Hayes, one of the fixtures at HOLY
Cross corner in East Worcester was
sent to the house of correction for four
months. James A. Fell was given the
same sentence for getting loaded and
appealed.

OUR ARuYIY GOOD HEALTH.

Persistent and malignant attempts
that the troops in the Philippines are
being decimated by disease, while the
truth is suppressed in Washington.
Prima facie evidence to the contrary
is to be found in the official returns
from Gen. Otis, which have been made
public by Adjutant General Corbin.
From these it appears that less than
400 men have died of disease since first
the American army landed at Cavite,
year ago, although within that period
Gen, Otis or Gen. Merritt has had 49,
900 men all told under his command.
Only occasionally has Gen. Otis thought
it worth while to cable a special bull
letin concerning the health of his ar
my, and his last message asserted that
the hospital list, including the
wounded, amounted to only seven and
a fraction per cent of the entire army
Further proof of the excellent health
of the men is afforded by the fact that
only 50 have died of wounds. We're
lilt men utDllldltu VI were ulStdSE
rife in camp, it is inconceivable that so
few wounded should die. Most con-
elusive evidence of all. however, is a
comparison with the health of armies
of other nations in the tropics where
10 per cent has hitherto been deemed a
moderate allowance for disability on
account of sickness. The conclusion is
inevitable, that the preservation of Wig
orOus health of the troops has been one
of the most astonishing achievements of
the American officers in the Philip
pines. 1t implies very high degree Of
intelligence, skill and discipline and the
perfection of management. When Gen.
Merritt took command of the Philip
pine expedition, he insisted upon hav-
ing experienced officers about him, and
the tenacity with which he held to his
point is now finding its justification
The staff corps that went to Manila
knew its business, and performed it
faithfully and effectively. Letters of
all sorts have come from the seat of
war, telling many unpleasant stories
that have since been proved untrue,
but it has remained for mischief max
ers at home to declare that the army
is wasting away with disease. No such
testimony has come from soldiers or
correspondents, though ways Of evad-
ing the censorship would surely be
found if there were a tragedy to ex-
pose.

Elliot c. Goodwin, Wednesday evening
at o'clock at 60 Houghton street.
The last meeting of the Public School
Art League for this season was held
yesterday afternoon.
The pictures purchased with the
money raised by the exhibition have
been received and will be framed and
hung as soon as possible Mrs. Abbie
A. Bigelow, who gave six large port
folios of pictures fer the use of the
schools last year, has recently given $50
to be used for the Woodland street
school. \ plastinotype copy of Lerol-
lis Shepherdess has been given by one
of the ninth grades of the Woodland
street school, to be hung in the room
occupied by that class. A generous
donor, who does not want his name to
be known, has presented to the same
school a plaster cast of Lieut.. Edmund
n. Benchley. The cast was made by
T. J. McAuliffe from the same clay
model that was used for the marble
bust at the English high school. This
has been placed in good position half
way up the front staircase of the new
building.
Three baS rellet, two by Della ROD-
bia, and Michael Angeles Madonna and
child, have been purchased by the
ninth grade and the gymnasium class
of the Winslow street school. Ben
jamin c. Jaques contributed toward
these, the whole expense being $50.
At Elizabeth street school, $12 were
contributed teachers and pupils, A
cast Of mercury was purchased to be
placed on a shelf in the hall of the
building, and sCme pieces of Japanese
pottery, to give a bit of color.
The ninth grade pupils graduating
from Adams squGre school, are to give
a fine picture to be hung in the ninth
grade room.
Miss Mary c. Smith, a teacher in the
| Providence street school, has given a
large photograph Of the Madonna and
child, a detail of the Sistine Madonna,
| This is to be hung in a prominent place
in the stairway.
Miss Alice L. Day. a teacher at the
| Thomas street school. has given pho
| tograph of a lion head, by Rosa Bon
! heur.
! Money is r-ucn needed for the work
| of the league, and several plans are
under conslder5 ton, one being a course
| Of lectures, early in the fall. under the
management Of the A. W. Elson Com
pany of Boston.

There has been much wild guessing
as to the administration method OF
raising troops to reinforce Otis, but the
correspondents now seem to agree that
three volunteer regiments are to be
raised. Gen. Otis is understood to have
informed the department that $500 vol
unteers, now in Luzon, are ready to re-
inlist, and these will form the nuclei Of
the new regiments. Allowances am
ounting to $3.50 are promised as an in
ducement. Whatever number of men
may be needed to complete the roster
will be recruited in this country, but
not by any formal call for volunteers.
In all, it is expected that about 5000
men will thus be enrolled, and these,
with the regulars on the way, will swell
the army to nearly $4,000 men. Trans
ports out of commission have been Or
dered fitted for sea and the troops will
be forwarded as early as possible.
The administration has acted none too
promptly, for, granting all reasonable
haste, the latest levy cannot reach Ma
Mia till the rainy season is nearly over.

The sale of the property of the Hud-
son river tunnel and the formation Of
new company to continue the work
are accompanied by the announcement
that the excavations will be completed
within year. OF the total distance
of $500 feet, 4O77, or more than two
thirds. have been bored, and the asser-
ton is that, after weary years of
waiting. the time is ripe for finishing
the enterprise. Millions of dollars
have been sunk and many lives lost
in the operation, but capital takes re-
newed courage, and foresees profit in
the underground and underwater traf-
fic between New York and Jersey City.
1t can hardly be asserted that the engi-
neering difficulties encountered are
greater than have been overcome else
where, and this new avenue of rapid
transit may yet be opened.

MKINLEY AT HOLYOKE.

Sometimes there are periods when
even Edward Atkinson and Gamaliel
Bradford cease to be funny, when
gaiety retreats to a cave and gloom
seems to have secured a SO years lease
of the mundane outfit. On such occas-
ions turn to the Holyoke city govern
ment. The world may reduce its divi-
dends of humor in other places, but not
in Holyoke. There fun is guaranteed
and to meet the quarterly dividend one
of the members of the city government
has been making frantic efforts during
the heated season to prevent the city
from expending $500 in entertaining
President Mckinley. Such a plutocratic
outlay for the entertainment of the
president Of the United States, undoubt-
eddy looks lavish and unconstitutional
to a Holyoke city official. Rather than
have Jeffersonian simplicity receive a
solar plexus blow in demOcracy's
stronghold, the city government ought
to have recOnsidered its lavish APP
preparation of $500 and made it
So instead and thus demonstrate
to a vain and ostentatious world
what Jeffersonian simplicity really is,
combining the official entertainment of
the president to an oyster stew and a
buggy ride, with an address of welcome
by Alderman Mccarthy who plunged
into fame with hop, skip and lep"
by making a motion in meeting of the
aldermen, that the city construct CON
cave" sidewalks. Mckinley must have
heard of Holyoke, for it appears that
he left his court jester at home when
he started for the Paper city.

ton for damages resulting from the
overflow of the pond in. University park
caused by work done by the parks COM
mission. This location was viewed as
was also the estate of Cornelius Maher
on Mill street where damages are
claimed for land taking in building tbs
speedway. No action was taken.

Treasury receipts for the first half of

Egloff, the little German who has
just covered 1000 miles in ten "centu-
ry" installments, on the bicycle, break
ing records in nearly all of them, lived
principally on ice cream during his
long ride. This sounds like an adver-
tisement of some new freezer, but it's a
cold fact just the same.
