As the last campaign was so bitter,
and has left such lisagreeable impress
sions, would it not be we'll in the

may tend to reopen old wounds.
Let us pursue a cOnciliatory course,
and as the first step in that direction,
let it be understood that no mar who
was a candidate in the last campaign
for judicial or parocllial offices, will be
supported in the coming election. I'm
fortunately, each candidate in order to
be elected took an active part in the

An interesting Lecture at the Natural
History Rooms.

MISS Mary E. Sayward lectured at
the Natural History rooms Yesterday
afternoon upon "Liehens, MOSES, club
MOSES and ferns An abstract fol-
lows:
A Hchen is mass of cellular tissue
destitute of woody fibre which often
exists upon soil, stone moss. bark or
leaves, Those known as crustaceous
consist of a leaflike expansion so
closely clinging to the surface upon
which they grow that they cannot be
removed without injury to themselves
Those called folioaceous are a leaflike
expansion so loosely attached to the
surface on which they grow that they
can be removed without injury to
themselves. Those known as fruticose
consist of shrubby, branching expan-
sion attached at one place only and
that at the base. They are reproduced
by spores borne in cup shaped bodies.
Ldchens may be found all the year
round, in all conditions, cold or warm,
wet or dry, high or low; of many
shapee and sizes. They are very long
lived and have great vitality. Some of
them are useful to man as food and
dyes: some furnish alkaloids. All as
Sist in the decay of whatever they NAV
be upon, and in the case of rocks, as
sist in forming soil for the advent of
higher plants.
Moses are plants of cellular tissue
attached to rocks, soil, trees and other
vegetation by rudimentary roots: they
have also stems and leaves. They are
reproduced by spores in staIked, urn
shaped bodies, called capsules. They
vary in shape. Moses are more album
dant in cold and temperate climates.
Many grow in boys which they fill up
and consolidate. Assisting in the for
nation of peat. Like lichens, they as
sist in the making of soil Moses are
used for food for man and beast, es-
pecialIy for reindeer. They serve to
protect the roots of other plants from
a cold and drought and furnish a place
of refuge for insects. There are many
species.
Club MOSES resemble MOSES but are
of a higher organization. They have
roots, stems and leaves. They are re-
produced by spores in spore cases which
are borne in the axis of leaves, some
times crowded together at the top of
the stem, forming a spike. They help
make up peat formations; by man The
dust from the spore cases is used upon
the outside of pills, also in fireworks
for it is very inhamable. They are us
ed for ornamentation.
Ferns are still higher plants, with
underground roots, stems, leaves. Re
production is by spores on spore cases
on the backs of fronds or on especially
developed fronds. The fronds, as the
leaves are called, are peculiar in that
each is rolled up in the bud. They
make up to large extent the coal
formation. They vary much in size
There are many kinds and some of
them are beautiful.
The lecture was illustrated with
many charts and mounted and other
specimens.

OVER A MACHINE.
Case of Glen Cove Machine Co., VS.. Tyler
ct, AL. Involves $500.

The case of the Glen Cove Machine
Company against Tyler ct al. is a suit
in trover to recover for the price of a
machine alleged to have been sold to
the defendant company, Edmund Ellis
& Son A moulding machine was put in
by the Glen Cove Machine Company
with the understand that it was to be
given sixty days trial, Some time after
the machine was installed, Edmund
Ellis e. Son went into insolvency and
the affairs of the concern went into the
hands of Tyler and others as assignees
The assignees decided not to deliver ~
the machine to the company, claiming
that the machine had never been ac-
oepted. The machine was valued 81
about $500.
When the case was called yesterday
afternoon, council for the defense, Sid
ney p. Smith of Athol asked for a con-
tinuance of the case owing to the alb
sence of the principal witnesses in New
York and the south, but the court de-
cided that an opening should be made
in the case, as it was shown that they
would in all probability arrive in time
for the opening of court this morning
C. r, Darling of Boston appears for the
plaintiff, and S. p. Smith of Athol for
the defendants. Trial will be resumed
this morning.

Mr.. SHERMAN AT NORFOLK,
The Ex-secretary Stood the Trip Well and
is Much improved.

folk, Va, March 23.-The cruiser
Chicago arrived in Hampton roads at
1890 o'clock today. The condition of
John Sheman is improving; he stood
the trip well and is much better today
than he has been any time since his
sickness began. At 1.30 o'clock Mr..
sherman was placed ON a steam launch
and brought ashore, where many people
were awaiting his arrival. The crowd
cheered as Mr.. Sherman was being con-
veyed to the Chamberlain hotel, where
his daughter has been stopping since
Saturday
At .. m. Mr. Sherman was placed
on a litter and taken on board the
Washington boat. That Mr. Sherman
is a very sick man, no one who got a
glimpse of his pallid features can
doubt. Naturally of spare build he has
lost flesh until his thinness IL striklngly
apparent, and he IS obviously far adj
vanced in feebleness and general in
trinity. While being prepared to be
taken to the stretcher MIR. Sherman
gave the sailors orders as TO how they
should handle him.

LAMP EXPLODED.
Mrs. Fannie c. Davis Horribly Burned in
tho Rogers Block.

Mrs. Fannie c. Davis was badly
burned last night about the body by
the explosion of a kerosene lamp at her
home in the Rogers block, on the cor
ner of Salem square and Park street
and was thought to be suffering from
a severe nervous shock in addition to
her burns at the city hospital last
night, where she was brought after the
accident. Her chances for recovery
We're not considered good last night.
MRS. Rogers was about to retire last
night at 1888 o'clock, and took the
lamp from the sitting room table with
the intention of blowing it out and re-
placing it, and it is supposed that il
exploded, The fire caught on her
night dress, and in second she was
encased i'll a blaze of fire.
Her calls for help brought her
daughter and her husband, Walter C.
Davis, and he managed to extinglish
the flames by throwing a coat over her,
put not until the fire had burned the
flesh ON her body to a crisp.
Her daughter ran across the street
and notified Dr. J.. M. Anger of the &C
cident and he went to the Rogers home
and examined the woman. On his rec
concentration, the ambulance was tele-
phoned for, and Driver Wilson and Of
fcer Hurley removed the woman as
carefully as possible from her home to
the ambulance, but despite the at
tempts to make everything as comfort
able as possible, Mrs. Davis suffered
horribly. She is about As years old and
has, besides her daughter one son.

COURT HILL GRADE.


The question of the cut in the grade
Of Court hill in front of the new court
house has been satisfactorily arranged
to the liking of the adjoining property
holders. When the original surveys
were made, City Engineer Mcclure only
took into consideration the land in front
of the court house, but it transpires
that the American Antiquarian Society
did not object to a change in the grade
in front of its property which is next
north Of that Of the court house. Its
members desire the change in grade,
and il has been arranged that the grade
shall be lowered three feet in front of
tho court house and cut to cores
bonding depth in front Of the adjoining
property. Plans according to the three
foot cut are now being made and 1t is
estimated that the expense Will be about
$500. which will be borne by the county.
There is to be hearing at West
Boylston on April 10 before the state
highway commissioners, OF the county
commissioners, upon the matter OF the
location of a new highway from Boyl-
ston TO West BoylSton. The hearing VIII
take place at some place to be selected
hv the metropolitan water board. The
road as originally laid out, was by a
roundabout route around the south end
of the metropolitan reservoir and was
not approved by the county commas
sioners, who decided that the road
should cut across an arm of the reser-
voir The metropolitan people appealed
from this decision to the state highway
commission and the hearing VIII b.
upon this appeal.
The county commissioners will te
represented at the hearing by their
counsel, Gen, lockwood Hoar and the

FOREHAND ENTERS.
Sends His Money For the American Han
dcaps at Live Birds.

Charles e. Forehand yesterday sent
his entrance fee to the Handicapped of
the American handicap shoot at live
birds which will take place at Elkwood
Park, Long Branch, N. J., three days
beginning April II. The entrance fee is
$25. The list closes April 4. Jay Smell Of
this city entered several days ago. Geo.
w. Russell, who has been spoken of as
a probable entry, has not yet decided.
Forehand shot in the race last year
when he was placed on the 26-yard
mark, The scratch men are SO yards
from the traps and the limit is %
yards. Forehand never shot at live
blrds before entering the race last year.
he did not reach the prize money. Each
man shoots at 25 birds.
In the contest last year the handi-
capper used the power given him by the
rules, and to thin out among so many
crack guns, dropped the shooter when
ne missed his second bird. Forehand
missed MS second bird when the trap
was pulled for the 23d time. Nine men
shot rs straight and over q. score were
tied with "A killed. Since the shoot of
last year Forehand has Travelled in the
west and shot at live birds several
times. His chances ought to be better
TINS year and he expects to be among
the stake winners.
The association offers $500 divided
into prizes of 5000, $500 and $500 for tho
three highest guns. There are other
prizes which come out of the entrance
money the amounts depending on the
number of entrance fees to be divided
