There stands i'll "A suburb OF Boston
U. s., n house, the doors and windows
OF which are nailed up and have not
been opened for upward Of 30 years.
The story is Il sad one. The house
was built by young man who in.
tended to take his bride home to it.
His capital was not sufficient, and he
%morigagcd the house rs he built it,
purposing, rs his means increased, to
gradually pay OIL the sum borrowed.
The intended bride was aware Of the
arrangement, and fully acquiesced in
1t. When the wedding day was ap
pointed, the troL ready. and the
house finished, he took the lady ont
from Boston to inspect it. After 90
ing over the house he presented her
with the title deed. Knowing his
circumstances, she was astonishcd
that he had actually paid for IT. He
explained that, after buying a ticket
III a lottery, he had drawn the first
prize, which just covered the cost OF
the house. The young lady protested
that she would not take a home oh
tanned by gambling. and refused the
deed. His arguments were OF no
avail. She remained obdurate. WheI
they left the house he locked the
door and threw the key into the
brook menr by. Tie next day he
boarded up the Windows, and only
spiders and mice have ever occupied
it. Tho man never married; no bo-
came wealthy, but il IL wnndcrer on
the face OF the earth. Tho lady never
married; she is still living. poor and
M invalid.-Mudcrn Society.

An interesting litigation was COM
menced in the District court yester.

Their alleges that Mrs. Boynton,t through
her promise OF marriage, secured the
transfer OF a lot on Commercial Row

TRIBUTE TO DR.. GOULD.
City Missionary Society Draws Up Reso
Iutons Of sympathy.

The following paper was drawn ur
by the City Missionary society at the
meeting Monday evening, on the death
of Rev. G. H. Gould:
Mrs G. H. Gould:
Dear Madam-The Worcester City
Missionary society has heard of the
decease of your husband, Rev. DR.
Gould, with great sorrow of heart and
a deep sense of loss. Though never an
officer Tor even a member, his heart
so full of sympathy, his hand so ready
to help, his voice so eloquent, were al
ways cheerfully at our service. The
city's evangelzation with which we are
chiefly occupied, was, in his view, the
city's safeguard. The worthy poor, te
whom we minister, were not only the
object of his pity, but his generous
gifts. The strangers within our gates
from other lands, whom we seek to
welcome, ELECTED his tender regard.
Tile pastors of the younger churches
under our care ever found in him a
wise counselor and faithful friend. Dur
ing these later years he often preached
in their pulpits, and the people heard
him gladly.
We shall, as a society, in common
with ell other organizations for doing
good in cur city, sorely miss him. we
therefore desire to tender our express
sion Of deepest sympathy for you in
your sorrow, of our high appreciation
of his service to us and of the loving
esteem with which we shall ever cher
ish his memory.
BY order of the executive committee
John c. Berry, president.
Eldridge Mix, secretary.

CHANGE OF ROUTE
No More Troops to
Go to Orient
via Suez.
TRIP OF HANCOCK.
Otis in His Report Recon-
mends Funston for
Promotion.

Washington, May 1.-THE war de-
partment will not for some time, at
least. send any more troops to Manila
by way Of New York and the Suez
canal. 1t is said that the health OF
the troops would be endangered by go
ing through the Indian ocean and along
equatorial ATTITUDES during the sum-
mer. All troops now under orders for
Manila, or to be ordered there during
the next few months, will be sent by
way of San Francisco.
Secretary Long today received a ca
blegram from Admiral Dewey, asking
for permission to keep the cruiser Bos-
ton on the Asiatic station short time
The request will be granted. The de-
partment had intended to bring the
Boston to the Mare Island navy yard.
Secretary Long said today that the
navy department would not seek to IN
fiuence Admiral Dewey in any way in
the selection of the route by which ne
will return to the United States. The
department now expects he Will reach
this country early in July, although II
is stated that he will not leave Manila
until he has completed his function as
one of the Philippine commission, at
least to the extent of terminating hos
tilities.
Adjutant General Corbin today made
public the report of Gen. Otis, COM
manding the first brigade, second di-
vision, Eighth army corps, giving the
details of operations in the Philippines
from the LIST to the S1st of March.
The brigade served at Malolos. In
conclusion, Gen. Otis says: 1T is my
F,YI tn
the conduct of the officers and men OF
my command throughout the cam
paign They have shown in an emin-
ent degree the qualities of good sol
diers: obedience, discipline, endurance
courage, steadiness, patriotism and the
most magnificent ardor in battle. The
regimental commanders, Col. Henry G
Kessler, First Montana, Col, Frederick
Funston Twentieth Kansas infantry
and Major w A. Kobbe, commanding
the two battahons of the Third United
States artillery Serving as Infantry
have again proved in actual field ser
vice their capacity and fitness for then
responsible post and their skill and
gaIlantry under fire. l again recon-
mend them and each Of them for such
special mark of distinction as the COM
manding general and the war depart
ment may be pleased to confer upon
them, on their merits.
1t is my task to have to report that
the casualties of the brigade during the
seven days operations particularly de-
scribed in this report, aggregate 1876 in
killed and wounded, swelling the brig
AIDES total casualties in battle since the
outbreak of the rebellion to 2S5, or con-
siderably more than 10 per cent of the
average effective strength of the com
mand actually engaged in the CAM
paign from first to last.
The trip of the Hancock across the
Pacific was a record-breaker. Up ia
this time, the record was % days. The
Sherman made the eastward trip and
the Seneca and Scandal the western
trip in that time. The time of the
Hancock was % days and the vessel
covered the entire distance across the
Pacific without a stop, being the first
one of the transports to accomplish that
feat.
