Lowest and Highest
Salary Paid By
the City.
SUP'T CARROLL'S BURDEN.
Responsible for the Con
duct of Over 10000
Pupils.

The largest salary paid by the city
of Worcester to an official is $4,000 This
goes to Clarence f. Carroll, superin-
tendent of schools.
The lowest salary paid by the NUM-
cipality is $12 per annum. This prince
ly stipend is drawn by George w. Har-
low, the city's official timekeeper.
1t is far cry from a salary of $4,000
to one of $12, but it may be remarked
IN passing, that the hours put in daily
by Mr. Carroll are long, and that his
duties are eXacting and arduous. Mr.,
Harlow, on the other hand, were he to
devote his entire attention to his duties
as timekeeper, would find time hang
ing or his hands, and, for the sake of
sheer exercise, would probably pur-
chase a bicycle, or make an assault
with bucksaw and axe on the family
woodpile.
To put the situation more exactly as
it is, and the better to illustrate this
great disparagement in the size of the
respective salaries of these two men, it
may be stated that MI. Carroll works
almost as many hours as any hardy
wage-earner of the city, and it's hard
worl! at that. Mr.. Harlow, as city time
| keeper, probably devotes a minute and
half, or a minute and SO and q sec
| onds, at the most, to his job daily, so
that relatively considered, he is in re-
| ceipt of a substantial salary.

HOPE FOR EVERY WOMAN.

The encouraging feature of such testi-
mony as that of Mrs. Leary is this:
1t gives hope to even the worst suffer-
ers from diseases peculiar to woman 1t
shows once more what has been proved
in thousands of cases. than when medical
skill has been exhausted and all other
medicines have failed, ''Favorite Prescrip-
ton has wrought a perfect and perma-
nent cure.
Many women who see the advertisement
of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
pass 1t by as being only one of a great
use. They read DR.. Pierces offer of free
consultation by letter, and associate II
with the common offer of free medical
advice made in connection with the ad-
vertsements of other medicines. This
fact needs to be impressed on every WON.

INCERSOLL IS DEAD
Passed Away Suddenly, a
Victim OF Heart Disease.
END CAME WITHOUT WARNING
Only PersOn Present at the Time Of
His DeCease Wac His Wife,
His Last WOrds.

New York, July 24.-Colonel Robert
G. Ingersoll died at his home. Walston.
on Hudson, near Dobb's Ferry, today,
His death was sudden ard unexpected.
and re ulted from heart disease, from
which lie had suffered since 1896. In
that year, during the republican ma
ional convention, he was taken i'll and
had to return home. He never fully
recovered from the attack OF heart s.
ease, and was under the care of physi.
clans constantly.
For the last three days. Mr. lngersoll
had not been feeling well. Last night
he was in better health and spent a
portion OF the evening playing billiards
with Walston II. Brown. his sonin.
law, and C. P. Farrell, his brother-in
law and private secretary. He seemed
to he in better health and spirits when
he retired than he had been for several
days.
This morning he rose at the usual
hour and joined the family at break
fast. He then said he had spent a bad
night. but felt better He had been
suffering from abdominal pains and
tightness about the chest. He did not
think his condition at all dangerous.
After breakfast lie telephoned to Dr..
Smith. his physician, vino is at Bell
Haven. and told him of bis experience
during the night. Dr. Smith told him
to continue the use OF nitro glyccrine,
and that lie would see him during the
day. Colonel Ingersol spent the morn.
ing swinging in hammock and sitting
on the veranda with the members OF
his family He said he was better and
had no pain.
At 1880 he started to go up stairs,
On reaching the head of the stairs. Col.
onel Ingesrol turned into his wife 3
room. Mrs. Ingersol was there. To-
gether they discussed what they would
have for luncheon, and Colonel Inger-
soil said he had better not eat much.
owing to the trouble with his stomach
He seemed in good spirits then.
After talking for few minutes, Col
onel lngersol crossed the room and "a,
down in a rocking chair. Mrs. Ingcr.
soil asked him how he was feeling, and
he replied ooh. better" These
were his last words. A second after
they were uttred he was dead. The
only sign noticed by Mrs. Ingersoll was
that the whites OF his eyes suddenly
showed. There vas not even q sigh or
a gIoan as death came. Doctors were
hastily called but their verdict was
that death had come instantly.

ANOTHER COMBINATION.
Fbis Time It's the Baltimore Vh'o
and q. X. Il N. with Union racine

New York. July 22.-The Herald
saws: A deal is under way involving
the com bination of at least four prom
inent railroads, and perhaps two or
three more, making complete trunk
line from the Atlantic to the Pacinc.
The scheme involves merging OF sew
eral Of the properties in which kuhn,
Loeb & Company, f. n. Hartman ana
Speyer & Company are interested and
with their friends, exert controlling
influence.
Among these properties are the IN
ion Pacific. the Illinois Central and
the Chicago e. Alton. the Chicago Ter
minal Transfer Comapny, the Oregon
Short Line, the Oregon Railway q Nav
gation Company and the Baltimore
q Ohio. 1t is asserted in some quar-
ters that the Great Northern Will come
in. but this is considered doubtful, al
though James j. Hill is closely asso-
ciated with several of the gentlemen
who are prominent in the railroads
mentioned.
This combination will give com
pact system, and will bring about
revolution in traffic alliance. The I'm
ion Pacific is the keystone. Its closest
connection at present is the Chicago I"
NorthwesteIn, and for long time 1t
has been the prevailing opinion IN
Wall street that the VanderblIts would
attach both the Northwestern and the
Union Pacific, and were not aware UNI
til few weeks ago of what was gong
on. The Northwestern directors have
hurriedly considered the advisabllity
of extending their Fremont branch to
Ogden TO a connection with the Central
Pacific, which is controlled by the
Southern Pacific Cut off from the
Union Pacific, the Northwestern Will
find no road to turn to for PACING
coast business that does not parallel
it for considerable distance.
Thus, with the Northwestern eX.
tending its Fremont, Elk HON ~ Mis-
souri, River railway from Casper to
Ogden, in order tn fight the Union Pa
citic, and the Northern Pacific forced to
protect itself against the Oregon lines.
which have recently been acquired by
the Union Pacific. there is likely to be
a great time among the great trans.
continental roads in the near future.
