Holy Cross Gives Up Meeting Of RepubIi-
U. of P Relay Race. can City Committee.
THE NEW RULES.
Question Of Enrolment
Ever at the Front.

The March meeting of the repubh
can city committee viii be held at re-
publican headquarters, 476 Main street,
tomorrow evening. This is an import
ant meeting, as the rules which are
to govern the action of the committee
during the year are to be adopted.
The rules of last year coramittee,
essary by recent legislation, WI I'M
doubtedly be adopted without serious
opposition. The committee Gil rules
will also recommend that a literary
committee be chosen to have charge
of campaign documents, circulars and
the like, issued from time to time cur
ing the campaign Such a mittee
was appointed by last years commit
tee and did excellent service for the
party.
The question of telephone ccmmu-
nication will also receive attention, and
it is probable that an instrument Will
be put in the headquarters at once.
Lest year, in addition to The general
instrument, desk telephone was FRO
vided for the chairman AMI proved
very handy. especially during the re-
ceipt of returns on election and eau
Gus nights.
During the past week changes and
repairs have been in progress at the
rooms. The smaller room formerly oc-
cupied by Chairman Tatman as a pri-
waite consultation room, has been made
into two smaller rooms by a partition
which is so constructed that when ne
cessity requires, the two rooms may be
thrown into one. Plans are being con-
sidered for the installation of a book
case in the inner room for the files of
the Congressional Record donated last
fall to the committee by Senator Geo.
F. Hoar. The file comprises a COM
plete record of the last five congresses.
There are about 125 volumes, neatly
bound in half-russia During the time
the alterations are in progress, Chair
man Partridge will occupy desk space
in the large hall
The question of enrolment is kept
ever at the front The question of it's
retention was discussed among several
members Of the committee yesterday
afternoon at headquarters, and the i'm
preston seemed to prevail that the
clause limiting the signing of declara-
ton paEers would have to be somewhat
modified. For several years it has
been n rule that the application must
be signed by two enrolled republicans
residing in the same ward with thu
applicant
In addition to this rule, it has been
the unwritten law among committeeman
that they were allowed the privilege of
signing papers of applicants whom they
personally knew in any part of the city
! 1t is alleged that in several instances
ward committees threw out applica.
ton blanks thus signed by committee
men residing in other wards, in order
! to further the interests of particular
| candidates. The whole question of the
| advantages of the system is receiving
the attention of the members, and it is
not unlikely that the question of its re-
tention may be discussed at a later
meeting.
Through the Kindness of Chairman
Partridge a set of six mahogany chairs
has been added to the headquarters
equipment.

Talks to Members of Me-
chanics Association.

Charles II. Morgan of the Morgan
Construction Company addressed a
good sized meeting of members Of the
Worcester Mechanics Association and
their friends. The talk was in line with
the Saturday night talks on industrial
and scientific subjects that have been
given from week to week for some
time past.
The speaker was introduced by Jas.
Logan, who said in the course of his
more for advancement of the iron in
dustry in Worcester than any other one
man.
Mr. Morgan took for his subject:
What is being done at the present time
and what may be done with cOntinu-
GUS rolling mills" In spite of the fact
that brass band was discOursing pop
ular airs overhead in addition to the
accompanying noise from many pairs
of feet, the owners of which were at
tending the fair in the hall above, and
that the calcium light arrangement used
for throwing pictures on the screen
Kissed like a steam engine, Mr.. Morgan
gave an interesting talk on the sub
ject mentioned.
He reviewed the subject, dealing with
the invention of the first mill about lie
years ago, when the poor man who in
vented it was obliged to see his family
In an almost starving condition in Or
der that he might complete his inven-
ton. How later others took up the idea
and more improved methods of reducing
great masses of iron by this rolling pro-
cess.
Previous to the invention of the roll
ing mill, all iron and steel was heated
over an open fire, and hammered INTO
the desired shape by TepH ted blows on
the anvil. Even heavy steel rails were
fashioned in this way, entailing an i'm
mense amount Of labor, until approved
appliances were brought out and ma
chinery made to assist man in his la
bOrs
BY the aid of stereopticon views, Mr.
Morgan gave interesting descript ons of
the various forms Of machinery used
in connection with the work IN the
mills Of the Washburn 81 Moon Com
pany. Reels of all descriptions from
the first used in connection with the
rolling mill up to the present auto
matte arrangement for the purpose,
were shown.
The piece of mechanism designated
as the flying shears, designed to cut
the wire in specified lengths while 1t
is moving over a given point at the
rate of six feet a second, without I'M
peding the speed OF the rod or affect
ing, it's shape, IS the in
vention of Tech man, and formed
one Of the most interesting fe itures of
the talk.
Following the talk proper, NJ" Nor
gan announced that he was willing to
answer any questions that members Of
the audience cared to ask. Some one
wanted to know how the iron or steel
is kept hot for so long a time, and
the speaker gave very interesting eX-
PLANTATION, taking the great masses of
metal from the time they are placed
in the blast furnace until neatly cOled
on the reels after passing through the
successive stages of rolling mills.
After the steel or iron Is equalizei in
heat it is started through the mill. The
heavy rollers revOlve at the rate OF
1900 revolutions per minute, ard as the
wire is propelled through set utter set
of these rolls, 1t has no chance to cool
off, but remains hot all the day
through.

A CONFERENCE.
New York Journal Asks for
One With Local Dealers.

The members Of the Newsdealers, as
ISOLATION are jubilant and before thew
are through there is a possibility that
lhey will feel so good natured that
they will give themselves a banquet.
Yesterday Secretary Peter R. Culbert
received letter from the circulation
manager Of the New York Sunday
Journal which stated that the paper
would like to come to a more satisfac-
tory understanding with the Worcester
dealers, and that their New England
agent Mr.. McMurray, who is now in
Boston, would come to Worcester the
first of the week 81 NE
The letter from the Journal was in
terpreted by the dealers to mean that
the paper was willing to acknowledge
that it could not continue to be boy
cotted any longer and were not asham-
ed to ask for conference.
The boycott was declared six weeks
ago, and the dealers say that both the
Journal and World have lost over one
half their Worcester circulation each
Sunday, and that the New York Sun
day Herald has gained over 1000 copies
The dealers will meet Tuesday even
ing, and it is probable that meeting will
be sort of a love feast.
The Boston Globe and Herald have
not made any agreements. The dealers
will probably vote Tuesday evening to
push the Boston Journal, and allow the
Globe and Herald to remain in the back
ground.
It is expected that much firmer
stand on the boycott question will be
taken today than has been taken in
the past, as the dealers believe that
they have the key TO the situation, and
that they will be able to laugh heartily
in the near future, and handle the
World and Journal at What they con-
slider to be fair profit.

THEY READ THE SPY.

The notices printed in The Spy few
days ago, regarding the lack Of inter
est shown by parents in having the
birth of their children properly re-
corded is producing results far in ex

and his assistants. A large number Of
replies We're received yesterday, includ-
ing one from Whitinsville, in which
case the mother had moved out Of the
city after the report was made. Still
others. eager to do all in their power
to assist. are sending in births that

CURES WITHOUT PAIN,
One of the Beat Features of the New
Pile Cure.


The Pyramid Pile Cure cures all forms
of piles without one particle of pain. This
desirable point is not obtained by the use
of Injurious opiates, which simply deaden
and paralyze the nerves of the parts and
make matters worse in the long run But
Ii is done solely by its remarkable heal
ing and soothing effects.
And while it thus gives immediate re-
lief. at the same time the disease is not
merely checked, but a radical cure is
rapidly accomplished
And the point we want to make clear is
that all this is done without particle of
pain.
This fact is one great reason for the
popularity of the Pyramid Pile Cure, and
constitutes one very great difference be-
tween it and almost any other kind of
treatment for piles.
Every kind of surgical operation for
piles is overwhelmingly painful besides
endangering the life of the patient, and
The pyramid Cure, neither in making sue
cesfui cures without pain nor in cheap
ness and safety.
The pyramid Pile Cure has been before
the public so long, and its merits recog
nized by too many people to allow it to be
ciaassed with the many salves, SUPPOSE
tories. pills etc, and you run no risk in
trying II, as Is often the case with I'M
tried preparations

Pyramid Drug Co. Of Marshall, Mich.
