REPORTERS TURNED DOWN.

The newspaper men of Webster sent
a pet a lon to the honorable board of Sc
lectmen to allow them admission to its
regular business meetings, and in do
ing so they voiced the sentiment of
Webster citizens. The remark that
one prominent taxpayer made to the
Webster correspondent Of The Spy this
morning is often heard: I'VE all want
to know what the selectmen are doing
and not have to wait year to know
what they have done with our money,
and the only way we can find out is by
the newspapers" However, in direct
opposition to the desire of the citizens
the board voted a unanimous mo" to
the request.
A letter was received this noon signed
by Clerk J. Upham by orders of the
board, which stated: In response to
your communication relative to ad
hitting reporters to the meetings of
the selectmen, I am instructed to say
that the board has voted unanimously
to exclude reporters from said meet
ings Yours very truly,
L. J. Upham,
Clerk Board of SelectmeE.
Webster, April 6, 1899
The citizens will now have to wait
until the town reports come out again
in the spring Of 1900 to know for a Ger
tainty what has been accomplished
during the past year. The action of
the board does not meet with approba-
ton with the majority of the citizens,
so The Spy man ascertains upon max
ing a brief canvass.
But the selectmen are the rulers Of
the town, and they think they know
what is the best for them. a town Of
flcial who is afraid to acknowledge
publicly his stand in regard to any
matter that comes officially before the
nd ha-
hind closed doors, should never allow
himself to hold office. These are the
sentiments Of Webster people, from the
millionaire manufacturer TO the poorest
wage-earner.

Berlin Observe Their
Golden Wedding.

Berlin, April 6. - Mr.. and Mrs. L. L.
Carter of West Berlin observed their 50th
marriage anniversary in a quiet manner

venerable couple assembled about the
dinner table making party of 16, and
Mr. Carter's brothers and sisters, with
their friends. called during the afternoon.
The occasion was an enjoyable one to all

lectman and filled other responsible posi-
tions. Mr.. and Mrs. Carter have three

Battle Royal.
REPORTERS EXCLUDED
Board of Selectmen Decide
on Star Chamber SEES
sions This Year.

Webster, April Elm Music hall to-
morrow night the game of the season
will be played. 1t is the third game of
the series between Southbridge K. S. r.
and the Webster Basket Ball associa-
ton. The game will be for blood,
broken arms, limbs, or any kind of a
bruise so long as the respective team
wins. 1t will be the eliminating game
of the holly contested controversy and
the existing disagreements between the
two teams.
The game will be called at SIS o'clock
1t has been quietly tipped that the
Webster boys are going to win the
game If possible, While the spec town
boys are just as determined. With
this object in view the playing will be
unusually fast, and a good but rough
game may be expected.
Although Webster has kicked against
the Y. NJ. c. A rules as played by the
Southbridge team, they will be in
vogue at the game. That is the under
standing upon which the visiting team
comes here. There will be no Nichols
in the game, and John T. King will re-
fierce. 1t is probable that some def
mite arrangement will be made after
the game between Webster and South
bridge for a large purse.
Manager James McGeary Of the local
team IS willing to play the game at
Millbury, which is on neutral grounds,
and have Millbury man, also a neu-
trail one, referee the game. The locals
are willing to play for~S10O or more a
side. If the game is played Nicholas
Brenniff will withdraw for that game
on account of losing his amateurship, as
he intends competing in the races al

teurs can enter. When James H. Heth
