great searchlight is to the tallow dip. II
is not a mere improvement nor devel>
opment of any of the old-fashioned rem
edies. 1t is a totally new departure in
the cure of blood and nerve diseases, and
cures where other remedies fail, because
it embodies the newest Investigations into
the source of these diseases.
And that is the reason why Paine
celery compound is the most successful
remedy in the world.
The following letter from Miss Louise
Wolcott, one of the officials of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution, shows
the estimation in which Paine's celery
compound is held by persons who have
used it:
New York, Feb. q, 1899.
Messrs. Wells, Richardson 81 Co.,
Gentlemen-Having for several years
been subjected to heavy strain on my
out and discouraged after consultation
with my physician, began taking Paine s
celery compound, and ana only too glad
to add my testimony to the many thou
sands you already have of its efficacy
in rebuilding the nervous system. l now
feel like an entirely different person.
Very truly yours,
LOUISE WOLCOTT.
Were it possible to keep the nerves al
ways strong and in calm working order,
few persons would know what 1t Is to be
i'll; but with the changes in climate, work
and worry and the "shut-in' life all win
ter, nervous disorders, more or less seri-
Gus, are unavoidable. Paine's celery COM
pound should be in every household, that
there may be no delay in regulating the
nerves when they become irritable, poorly
nourished and are wearing out tina
strength of the whole body.
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-04-22

The old-time tonics, sarsaparillas,
nervines and haphazard remedies of our
forefathers won't do in the spring of 1899
Your great-grandmother didn't take
Paine's celery compounds any more than
she used the electric light or the tele-
graph.
But her children and grandchildren, the
grown-up men and women of today are
taking this great modern spring remedy
and getting rid of diseases that the old,
unscientifc preparations made no impress
sion on-and are making no impression
on today.
Paine's celery compond has as little in
common with any of these obsolete rene
dies as modern, life-saving antiseptic
surgery has with the practice of few
years ago which was attended with so
fearful a death rate. The half century
that has elapsed since these old-fashioned
remedies were formulated has been the
most fruitful years in medical discovery.
II has witnessed the discovery of the
most effective medicine the world has
ever known. AS remedy for blood and
nerves Paine's celery compound has been
welcomed by physicians, prescribed and
publicly recommended. No remedy has
eveT alpproached Paine's celery compound
in its wonderful success with diseases
and ailments due to nervous debility and
impure blood.
Paines celery compound Is as unlike
any remedy that has gone before 1t, and
as superior to its nearest rival, as the

OBJECTIONS FILED.
Clinton Board Of Selectmen
Met But Granted No
Licenses.

Clinton, April 21.--A bomb shell, or
two of them, were sprung at the meet
ing of the selectmen this evening. The
full board met to grant IL first class
licenses and number of drug licenses.
The meeting had just begun when At
torney DAVID + Walsh appeared and
laid before the board an objection
against a license being granted to any
person for the place at Church and
School streets. Mr.. Walsh represented
st. Johns Catholic Church. The OBJ
lection is that some years ago, when a
license existed in the same place, COM
plants were made that children and
others were insulted by drunken men
standing in the neighborhood.
The saloon is a short distance from
St. Johns Church.
After Mr.. Walsh closed Attorney J..
J. Shaughnessey of Marlboro appeared
to represent Michael Burke of 81 Front
street. and in Mr.. Burke's behalf laid
in the following document:
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The undersigned hereby protest
against the granting of a liquor license
of the first, second or third class to any
petitioner in any building or place on
the same street. within 400 feet of any
building occupied in whole or in part
nv a nublic school. The building where
in Walter J. O'Toole & Co. have ap-
plied for a license of the first class to
sell intoxicating liquors, is within 400
feet of the public school building, now
used as a school and known as school
No. 5. Both buildings are situated on
Main street and are therefore within
the law enacted by the legislature and
INTERPRETED by the court and common
wealth Martin Burke,
81 Front street.
The Burke protest was accompanied
bv a map showing the distance from
fine proposed saloon to the school house
on Main street to be about $50 feet by
an air line from corner to corner OF
the buildings.
Attorney Walsh introduced Mr..
Shaughnessey to the board. Both at
torneys asked for an adjournment.
The selectmen adjourned until Mo1-
dav evening. The members wanted
time to consider these objections. They
were in session but few moments and
no licenses were granted.

MAY GO TO CUBA.
Grand Sire Pinkerton Ex-
tending the Odd Eel
lows There.

The Odd Fellows as an order are
marching on to Cuba, and whatever
idea the grand officers may have per-
sonally upon the question of territorial
expansion, upon the matter of the ex-
panslon of the order, all are united.
Grand Sire A. S. Pinkerton of this
city is now considering the Odd Fellow
field in Cuba, and as the people of
Havana and other Cuban cities have
requested, the instructions have gone
forth for the establishment of addition
al lodges in the Queen of the Antilles.
Grand Sire Pinkerton's deputy commits
sioner in Cuba is Rev. w. ]. De Coya,
and he has just written to Grand Sire
Pinkerton in regard to the future of
Odd Fellowship in Cuba. Rev. w. j.
De Cova makes his official residence
in Havana, and in his reports to his
superior he writes most encouragingly
of the prospects ahead. The leading
Cuban families are seeking more char
tiers, and wish the further establish
ment of the order there.
At the present time there are five
lodges in the whole island, and this
number will be increased at once,
lodges having been petitioned for from
Santiago, Holquin, Manlayas, Mangan-
azilla, Guantanamo, Daiquari, San
Fuegos and Cardenas.
Later in the year, Grand Sire Pink
erton may make a personal visit to
Cuba, after reconstruction has fully
succeeded destruction The Cuban
deputy commissioner has invited Col.
Pinkerton to make a personal visit and
look over the field, but business en-
gagements have prevented any formal
decision upon the matter, although
later in the year Col. Pinkerton may
find opportunity to go.

A SEVERE BLOW
High School Grew
Loses Two Good
Men.
FAIL IN STUDIES.
According to Rules They
Are Ineligible to
Compete.

The Worcester high school eight
cared crew was out ,on the water yes
terday afternoon under direction of
Coach James A. Ten Eyck The make
up of the crew differed from the pre-
vious days as Johnson was i'll and un-
able to occupy his accustomed seat at
No. Z, which place Hagberg took.
The term reports of the standing of
the pupils Of the high school have been
given out and it transpires that two of
the boat crew have fallen behind in
their studies and will be ineligible to
row against Harvard freshmen crew
in May. The dropping of two men from
the crew will seriously cripple the crew
and reduce it's chances for winning.
The hard and earnest work of Coach
Ten Eyck will also go for naught, as he
will have to bring in new men and ini-
tiate them into the mysteries of rowing.
His work for the past three months or
more on the men that have been drop
ped will amount to nothing unless the
Strengthening affairs out with their
teachers.
The sum and substance of the cause
of the shaking up of the crew comes
because two pupils, members of the
eight-oared chew, received a ID" in
one of their many studies. One of the
rules of the school distinctly states that
in order for any pupil to compete in any
of the class games or to become men,
bers or try for a position on any track
team or boat crew it is necessary that
the pupil should be well up in his stud
les and have fair mark at least.
Tho M Y.tr f n iS dapidad1u moor, and
the poorest that could be given, and
consequently when two members of the
crew receive that mark, it means the
immediate quitting of all the athletic
sports.
The teachers at the high school seem
to think that the boys at fault should
be disciplined by keeping them out of
the boat for a while until they regain
their standing in their studies
The position of the coach in this an-
pleasant dilemma is not very agreeable.
Ten Eyck has put his best efforts into
the crew. endeavoring to pull out a
winning eight. Now to see his work
going on so well and to have him lose
two good men because of their negli-
gence, is discouraging, to say the least.
AS Ten Eyck says, if he cannot get
the men, he cannot make up a winning
crew. He has nothing to do with them
regarding their studies, and is not re-
sponsible if they fail to reach the nee
essary marks.
Yesterday the makeup of the crew
was: Daley, stroke; Hagberg, Z; Perry
g. Cosgrove, 8; Wheaton, 4; Carroll, 8;
Harvey, 2; and Weir, /, with Mason,
coxswain. The crew showed up well
in rowing and handling the sweeps, and
Coach Ten Eyck will make his selec-
ton of the men to row in the eight next
week

CHECK COLLECTION.

A convention of the banking interests
of the principal cities of the United
States will be held shortly to discuss
the subject Of charges on. collection of
checks Detroit. Cincinnati and other
western cities have been advised to
take the lead in the proposed move
ment. Bankers in New York are graf
flied at the prospect of having the
problem met squarely by the western
banks. for it is evident that there is
desire among these bankers to follow
the example of the New York clear
ing house Some of the eastern bank
ers intend to be present at the forth
coming convention, and the scope OF
the meeting probably will enable those
present TO discuss kindred financial
questions.
1t is probable that the principal cities
of New England, Worcester included,
will be represented at the convention.
