about this new freak Of the Lat Sahib's.
One day there was a dinner party at

Tods' was in bed, but he kept awake till
he heard the bursts of laughter from the

Then he padded out in his little red

and took refuge by the side Of his father,
knowing that he would not be sent back.

RALLY IN WARD 5
Hagberg Wants the Publication Works
Removed.

Members Of the Republican club
opened the formal work of the cam
paign in ward with a rally in Good
Templars hall, Ekman street, last
night.
About 100 staunch republicans attend
ed, also at least one each of the demo-
cratic and socialist labor factions. The
speeches were bright and interesting.
appealing to the sentiment of the audi
ence, judging from the demonstrations
in the way of applause. One fact upper
most in the argument of all those who
addressed the meeting was the necessity
OF getting out the full party strength on
electlon day in ward 5, which is ack-
noWledged fighting ground in the re-
publican columns
John G. Hagberg, the republican can
didate for representative, made a strong
address in which he declared himself as
opposed to the plan adopted by the city
Tor abolition of grade crossings, and an
nounced that he would start a move
ment the coming year for the removal
OF the publication works from Quinsig-
almond village. Mr. Hagberg did not,
hesitate to criticise the work of his op-
ponent in the common council the past
year, and while making no extensive
promises, announced that he should
work for the best interest of ward and
the city of Worcester in event of his
reelection.
F. A. Forstrom, a representative OF
the De Leonite faction of the socialist
labor party, created something OF a
breeze by asking Mr.. Hagberg a few
questions at the close of the meeting,
hut as the hour was late the chair
man ruled that the inquiry had better
be postponed. Mr.. Forstrom then IN
Vited those present to come down in
the gutter and listen to a soci9listic'
view Of matters in general. The inv
tation WAS greeted with derision. as the
socialist left the hall
Several changes We're necessitatad in
in the original program. Through some
mistake, Charles T. Tatman failed to
receive his invitation to address the
meeting until after he had made an
other engagement. Mr.. Gilpatrick of
Boston was also unavoidably absent
Robert M. Washburn was introduced
in place of Mr.. Tatman, and the ovation
rendered his appearance on the plat
form indicates the warm feeling OF
ward republicans toward the young
lawyer who was characterized as the
friend of the workingman.
w. P. Dewey gave bone solo, which,
with selections by a male quartet made
up of Frank S. Hollington, first tenor,
William Critchley, second tenor; James
v Critehley, first bass, and william F.
Deacon, second bass, filled in the 1acan-
cies occasioned by nop-appearaLce OF
the speakers.
Alexander H. Bullock, president of
the republican club, called the meeting
to order and briefly outlined the cb-
ject Of the rally.

FEAR INTERVENTION.
Strengthening of British
Fleets Points to For
eign Menaces.

London, Oct. 25.-The extent of the
British naval preparations, revealed by
today's information, causes a strong re-
iteration Of the rumors of serious for
eign complications. 1t is now said that
Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford
will command the Mediterranean squad
ron, and details of the activity at the
dockyards and naval stations are com
ing in hot and fast. The Associated
Press learns, however, that whether or
not Great Britain seriously fears Rus
sian or French aggression, the naval
preparations have been under consider
alton for several months. and it was
the admiralty's intention to put them
in force as soon as war with the Trans
vaal was declared, deeming it necessary
to increase the active strength of the
navy in order to insure the large fleet
OF transports againsl every possible
&C. tingency
SJhether later developments have
transformed the admiralty's precau-
ticnary measures into preparations for
a naval demonstration, necessitated by
European hostility, is the question of
the hour, and it is as much a mystery
to many high naval officers as to the
public. The exact condition of affairs
consists of ordering the naval reserves
to be in readiness to rejoin their ships
at "a hours notice, while all the CRUZ
sers of the reserve class have been noti-
fed to be ready to sail in the same
tme-llmit. These vessels, though at the
dock yards, are never out of commits
sion, and are always supposed to be
ready for immediate manning A dozen
cruisers, ranging from 5000 to II, 900
tons, are now only waiting the word
to embark the crews
While the British officials do not con-
ceal their knowledge of German, French
and Russian antagonism and their irri-
tation thereat they do not give the
slightest hint of probability that Euro
pean hostility will crystalize into any
overt act.
But the belief that Great Britain is
on the verge of a crisis, or even a con-
fiet far greater than that in the Trans
vaal, has many supporters though the
lack OF all official confirmation favors
the conserva alive views that the re-
markable military and naval activity
is due to a desire to take thorough pre-
cautions which, though ominous, have
at present no special bearing upon
Great Britain's European relations.

full of pleasantries and was heartily
received.
James Logan was given a 1attering
Introduction by Mr. Thayer, heiaG
called one of the exemplary citizens Of
the city, almost above all, at least the
equal of any. He said he had resently
read poems relating to the sport, which
would express his thoughts better than
words OF his could. He read stirring po-
ems on the faithfulness of the compan-
ion of man in hunt, the dog, and con-
cluded by a handsome tribute to the
dumb animal.
John Z. Munroe sang a hunting song
composed by DIR. Charles e. H. Higgins
which was set to music by Charles F.
Hanson The song was dedicated TO
Yesterdays hunt. 1t is stirring song
and SET to pretty music.
G. 3. Robinson of Providence gave
an informal talk on various subjects,
which was witty. Touching on politics
he said he might be a poor republican,
but. never considered himself bad
enough to be a democrat. Chairman
Thayer interposed, you don't allow any
democrats in Rhode Island" '"They
sometimes pay EN- to be democrats
there" said Mr. Robinson. He paid
high tribute to Worcester and spoke of
his connection with the fur company
j. r. Gilkenson opened his remarks
with a story that made him instantly
popular. He related a hunting episode
in the west in which a hunter had ex-
pended his last shot and had no wea-
pons, was being set upon by a bear.
He never prayed before, but as the
bear rushed to him he uttered a pray
er which went like this, 20, God, come
quick, and come yourself. Don't send
your son, This is no place for chill
dren." He turned a laugh on Mr..
Thayer. He called the latter's veraci-
ty into account and said in the west
when a man can't tell the truth they
send him to the legislature, but when
he is a hopeless case they send him to
congress. He related experiences in
hunting buffalo, and other western
game, and said the hunter is the mob
lest specimen of man. 1t takes brain
and Drawn to hunt.
Judge Clark of Willimantic said he
did not look on the members of the
Worcester Fur company as strangers.
Although he spends but one or two days
year in their company, he doesn't
know any body of men with whom he
is better acquainted. He classes fox
hunters as gentlemen. The fox is re-
garded as an outlaw by everybody ex-
cept fox hunters. The law does not
protect him. and farmer are always
trying to exterminate him, but fox
hunters obey the unwritten law. He
denounced in scathing terms the man
who wifi kill fox out of season.
S. D. Charles of Boston related a
story of a railroad wreck which illus
trated the remarkable perspicuity of a
young lady who was in the wreck. He
said he discovered the reason why the
Worcester Fur company has such sue
cessful hunts and banquets. 1t extends
the glad hand of fellowship, the open
heart and the honest word which is
characteristic of it's members
John I. Way of Westfield made a few
remarks, in the course of which he in
Vlted the Worcester hunters to the an
nual hunt at Westfield. Nov. Is and 16

ACADEMY COACH HERE.
First and Second Elevens Put Through
Their PAGES.

nClF dCCSs
John P. Emory, the new coach for
the Worcester Academy eleven, arrived
at the campus Of the school yesterday
afternoon, and put in his first days
work with the team. He had the first
and second elevens lined up and kept
them at work for over an hour. Emory
will remain at the school the remainder
of the foot ball season, coming up from
Providence daily. He is in the electri-
cal business there, and will be enabled
to come to this city every day. All
the men are in good condition with the
exception of Taylor, and the latter ex-
poets to be in the game before Satur-
day. Coach Emory thinks that the
greatest weakness of the team is in the
line, and he is confident of strengthen
ing that before the high school game
Saturday. Preparations for the game
are being made, and the grandstand
will be reserved for ladies and their es-
corts, and the faculty Of both high
schools and the academy. Yesterday
there was a long line of visitors at the
school, and DR.. Abercrombie was kept
busy showing those attending the Bap-
fist convention about. Mid-term exam
nations are to begin today and will
continue throughout the week.

TRANSYAAL CRoOKEDNESSs.
There has" continued Mr.. Chamber
lain, been on the part of the Trans
vaal, crockedness altogether ncompre-
hensible. If they desired a settlement. l
believe that from first to last President
Kruger never intended to give anything
approaching equal rights to the white
races, or any acknowledgment Of Brit
ish supremacy. War, therefore, was
inevitable. There has been an cnor-
nous strain upon US. We are called
upon to bring the war to a quick con-
clusion and send across the sea a force
no nation in history ever before sent.
This is entirely due to the preparations
which made the Transvaal an armed
camp, which not only secured X a ae-
fensive position but enables it to take
the offensive against the large force
now engaged.
such a strain could not be continued
forever, We should have needed c per-
manentforce of $4,000 men in South At

WINGED Of it. Yet they are not happy.
Such predictions were made before, and
We're even current in the days of Eliza

great Tcutonic people cannot hold in
subsection another great Teutonie peo-
pie, but this has never been our course.
1t is impossible to contend that the
Dutch at the Cape are crushed by our
rule, when they have all the rights EEg-
land possesses, and, even in individual
cases, are permitted to talk ana write
treason Whatever may be the result
of the y al and the premature talk Of
