HELP THEM OUT.

The Salvation Army soldiers are
making their annual appeal for funds
to provide a Christmas dinner for the
poor of the city. They are to be met
at every street corner in the business
section. The money is slow in coming
in, but the doughty soldiers are not
disheartened. For several years past it
has been the custom Of the lads and
lassies Of the Salvation Army to take
UP position on the prominent streets
and hold out little boxes for pennies,
nickels and dimes. 1t is the intention
of the Salvationists to make hundreds
of homeless and friendless happy on
Christmas day, but unless money is coll
lected for this purpose they will be I'M
able to carry out their plans, and the
number o. those who will enjoy merry
Christmas diRner will be lessened.
Those who have undertaken the good
work and are standing every day on the
street corners, complain that they are
in many instances passed by unnoticed.
If only a small percentage Of those
who pass by would make it point to
contribute penny, the Salvation Army
would soon have enough to feed all
the poor of the city. 1t is worthy
cause and one that every one should
feel proud to lend assistance to, espe-
cially al the joyous Christmas-tide.

TRAINING FOR CONSULAR SERVICE.

The question of special training for
government positions involving rela-
tions political and commercial with
foreign powers and for the higher
walks of commercial activity, is en-
gaging the serious attention of the au-
thorities of some Of our larger uniyer-
sites. In the cities of New York and
Philadelphia the idea has taken shape
in a plan which, with the cooperation
of trade organizations and the bust
ness communities, it is hoped may be
put into successful operation. The
ton which it is proposed to adopt into
the curriculum of the universities, it
is expected will result not only in the
training of many skilled men, among
whom thoroughly equipped consular
service has been long regarded as one of
the crying needs of the country, but
will also aid in diffusing among business
men generally wide knowledge of the
general laws effecting latter-day COM
merce both in this country and abroad.
The plan as far as formulated con-
| templates careful study of the his
tory and theory of commerce, of inter-
national exchanges and of public and
private international law. To these are
to be added the study of all the inn
portant commercial modern languages
In order to carry out the plan, the
matter of guarantee fund by which
for number of years sum of money
may be secured for the new course
sufficient to allow Of its successful
maintenance has been taken into con-
sideration. The Chamber of Commerce
of New York has guaranteed the sum
of $4,000 a year for five years to
Columbia university to enable it to
carry out similar idea. Such a course
in our universities if inaugurated will
meet with the hearty approval Of all
our people and should rebound to the
benefit Of the country and to her COM
merce in years to come. 1t is to be
hoped that our larger universities will

THE WATER is PURE
Prof. Kinnicutt Says 1t Is Not Ne
ceSSary to Boil 1t.

Prof. Leonard P. Kinnicutt of the Wor-
cester Polytechnic Institute says that it
is not necessary to boil city water before
drinking it unless it's pumped from Goes
pond. The greatest danger would be in
the presence of typhoid fever germs in the
water. but after a careful investigation
and practical tests, Prof. Kinnicutt gives
it as his opinion that the present low state
of the water has not materially affected
its purity In statement he says:
The chief cause for alarm in any water
is the possible existence of typhoid fever
germs. When they are present they are
very much less active in cold weather
than in warm. Apart from this the hui
man system seems to have certain
strength in cold weather that it does not
have in warmer weather that makes 1t
able to ward off the attacks of the germs:
There is no cause for serious alarm just
now, as there would be If the drought
had effected the supply in the summer
time.
/ have made meteorological examina-
lions of both the high and low service
supplies in the city, and l see no cause
for serious apprehension at the present
time. If there comes q sudden freshet or
downpour of rain. or if the city begins to
pump Goes pond water into the pipes, l
should advise boiling the water. If the
water is not boiled, it should be put
through Pasteur filter
Typhoid germs undoubtedly exist along
the edges Of the ponds and streams in
Guided in the city's water sheds, now
bare. and if there were a sudden freshet
they would be washed down into the
basins and from there into the pipes.
They might cause trouble. Goes pond is
surrounded by houses, and fever germs
very likely exist in the pond. When the
water is pumped from there they will get
into the pipes, but until one of these two
things which / have mentioned happens,
! don't think there is much cause for
worry

DECEMBER Fl, 1899.
THE MONEY MARKET SLUMP.

The slump in the money market with
in the past few days is to be attributed
to various causes. In the first place,
London has been a heavy seller for
some time. Then there was the failure
of the Produce Exchange Trust Com
pany of New York and the brokerage
firm of Henry Allen and Company, who
also failed several years ago. To add
fuel to the flame, the banks called in
large amounts of loans; holders were
unable to supply additional margins
and their stocks were thrown over
board by the wholesale. Within two
hours on Monday fully 100000 shares
We're dealt in, and more than double
| this number between noon and three
| o'clock of the same day. Early in the
afternoon of that day the supply of
loanable funds became exhausted tenn
! porarily and rates were bid up to a
| figure equivalent to 1877 per cent. The
result was what might have been ex-
| pected; the market broke wide open
! and prices took a tumble that had not
| been known within recent years. But
| it was just at this juncture that the
banks and such banking firms as j.
Pierpont Morgan and Company came to
| the rescue of the market. Millions of
money were offered freely at 6 per cent
and thus the decline was checked. I'M
mediately there came smart rally,
| but it was only partially maintained,
| although it enabled the market to close
well above the lowest of the day.
Today it is almost impossible to say
whether the worst is over or is yet to
come. This will depend upon the re-
Spouse which will be made to the call
for margins; to the supply of loana-
BILE funds; or to the ability of houses
known to be crippled to hold on. There
| can be no doubt but what prices have
now reached level which made many
stocks attractive purchases for, those
who can afford to pay for them. The
general body of business and of bank
ing is sound and unaffected, but the
inflated industrials will be mercilessly
| affected. The laws of trade are doing
the work of squeezing water out of the
capitalization of industrials with
a rigor no legislature could equal. 1t is
perfectly easy to organize and to float
| these vast capitalizations, but the
work of actually selling them to the
| public is another matter. When a level
of actua, values is reached it will be
found that no one has suffered but
those who tried to sell their plants to
the public at figures which no average
earnings could justify.

THE VICTORIA CROSS.

1t is pathetic to observe the deathless
struggles of the English soldiers in
their heroic efforts to win the Victoria
cross. One man in ten wins it and
lives. The other nine die in the striv-
ing. The intrinsic worth of these
badges Of bronze is about one cent, yet
for the privilege of wearing them the
soldiers of three countries are always
ready to tread the path Of glory The
French cross may be worn by civilians,
The English and American crosses are
pinned only upon the breasts Of SOL
diers. In the armies of all three ma
tions, officers and privates, peasants
and princes have equal chances of
wearing that which nothing but attest
ed bravery will bear.
One English publication states that
with perhaps one exception, the bravest
thing done by an English soldier was
the act of drummer boy, who is liv-
ing and is now man of go years. For
forty-five years of that time he has
been wearing the Victoria cross and
has had the right, which, by the way,
he has never exercised, of writing
" C. after his name.

A SOLDIERS DEATH.

Later details of Lawton's death indi-
cate that the manner of his decease was
even more gallant than the first dis
patches indicated. He died at the head
of his troops, in the first rank of battle,
an ideal death for soldier. Military
tactics provide that the commanding gen.
eral Of an expedition shall keep out of
range of the enemy's fire. Lawton was
never a commander who held himself
to a rigid observance Of the letter of
military tactics.
That in large measure accounted for
his success. He broke over abstract
rules to suit the exigencies of the &C.
casion. He never asked his troops to
go where he was not prepared to lead
himself. He Jared no better when in the
field than the common private. Tactic
ians may say Lawton's death was the
unnecessary result of foolhardy bra
vado. The people of the United States
will call it heroic.
The man who made his name by the
capture of Geronimo lost his life try
ing to capture Geronomo.

A POLITICAL POOH BAH.

Representative, Councilman, Deputy
Sheriff, Overseer of Poor James Hunt,
has evidently located the fountain of
political youth. The venerable ward
six representatives success in cunning
for office within the past three years,
gives evidence that he has discovered
the elixir that many politicians would
give considerable to taste. After his
election to the board of overseers of the
poor at the city council meeting, Mon
day night, one of his democratic friends
suggested that Mr.. Hunt stand as a
candidate for chief of police, playfully
remarking that he would undoubtedly
get the appointment. With all his Of
fees, Mr.. Hunt does not neglect the
spiritual side of life, and is one of the
most respected and honored among the
Methodist brotherhood of the city. 1t
is probably in the practice of his re-
ligious TEACHINGS and his unapproach-
able honor that the envious can look
for the secret of Mr.. Hunts success in
the political field

NO FEAR OF THE RESULT
Wilbur W. Hobbs Says He Can
Clear Himself in Court

Wilbur w. Hobbs. who was arrested in
Boston Tuesday on a warrant charging
him with the larceny of check for $1,000
from Lemuel w. Demelman, returned to
Worcester yesterday. He says that he
should have been dealt with by the civil
court and not by a criminal process. The
case will probably come up for trial Fri
day, and Mr.. Hobbs has not the slightest
idea but what he will be able to straighten
matters out. H. w. Potter of the Nave
rick bank is also concerned in the arrest
Mr.. Potter was arrested some time ago
on the same case, and trial was withheld
until Mr.. Hobbs was found. The police
were waiting patiently for him to come
back from the west, and are now ready to
go on with the case.
