READY FOR WINTER.
Arbor Day Exercises Held at Normal
School Yesterday.

The annual Arbor day exercises were
carried out at the state normal school
yesterday with a great deal of eclat
| and some hard work AS soon as the
morning classes were over and the
some 200 students had enjoyed dinner,
the Oldest dresses and clothes were
donned, aprons hunted up, and every
body went out to work for several
hours in the pockets as the little
plots with which the grounds are
dotted are called.
1t was a rather pretty sight to those
who watched from the outside to see
the red-cheeked girls and men raking
up dead leaves and putting them in
bags to be burned in great heaps in
the centre of the yard The raking of
dead leaves was the first work to be
done, and some of the girls thought the
trees unusually prolific this year from
the number of leaves on the ground.
Each pocket was in charge of a leader
and two assistants, who kept their
forces at work hard during the hours
allotted for the work, and in some of
the places the ground was raked and
dug and reraked and redUg until they
When the leaves were all removed
and the ground prepared, wheelbar-
row force began hauling composts to
spread on the beds. In this work the
old gardener, who has been fixture at
the school since the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary, and whose
name is M. B, Craigan, came in very
handy. He loaded the wheelbarrows
and gave push when the girl couldn't

without help. Towards o'clock. as the
work was nearly finished and the bon
fires of leaves were sending up their
clouds of smoke, couples and groups
separated themselves from the general
body of workers and stood under the
trees or sat on the grass on the hill
side and chatted over the days work.
tahalf past three the implements of
work We're dropped and the party of
workers went into the building to wash
up from the effects of the toll, and the
pockets were left carefully prepared to
stand the winter and be ready for the
spring planting.

cts were as follows: pocket Miss

LIVELY RUNAWAY.
Worcester Horse Runs Riot in Streets
of MiIlbury.


Millburv. Nov. 10. II lively runaway
took place last night at IL. 80 clock, when
a horse owned and driven by Charles st
JaMain made run towards Millbury
Mr. JaMain was driving from Worcester
and when between the Woods switch and
the car barn one of the wheels of his rub
berthe team came off, the crossbar strik-
ing the horses heels. The horse at once
made a plunge, breaking away from the
team and throwing out Mr.. JaMain, who
struck on his head. The horse ran down
North Main street to the centre of the
town and up Elm street to the Providence
depot; he then ran down Water street,
up West and back to Worcester, where he
was caught and taken to Station 2.
The horse received many bad cuts about
the legs and head and the harness was
broken in several places. Mr.. JaMain re-
ceived many bad cuts about the head and
hands.
A fair will be given under the auspices
OF the Ladies Aid Society connected with

ADMIRAL DEWEY'S DOG IS DEAD.

Admiral Dewey's dog is dead. His
dog was the Chinese chow-Chow with
the Caucasian name of Bob, which held
the position of official mascot on the
conquering cruiser Olympia
Bob was as faithful a member of the
crew as any aboard. He was the most
famous animal of the fleet, too, for
cable dispatches came from every port
where Dewey stopped en- route from
Manila giving the news about the ships
company and the latest facts about the
chow-chow dog.
Bob was photographed many times
with the admiral. His picture appeared
in the Journal, and is posted up in thou
sands OF nurseries, where little occu-
pants thought the chow-chow dog ir-
resistibly funny and intelligent.
When the Olympia reached Tomp-
kinsville Bob fell ill., 1t was not the
rich diet, the admiral said, although
candy and cake were given to him by
most of the visitors to the warship, but
nervous disease from which he suf-
fered.
The Olympias launch went ashore
one day, her propeller churning the
water in frantic haste, for Bob had
what seemed to be a fit. The launch re-
turned with a veterinary surgeon, who
found the admiral with sad face bend
ing over his pet.

THE CITY is BROKE.
Finance Committee Made Addtlona
Appropriations of Funds.

Appropriations of Funds.
AS usual at the close of the financial
year, guardians of the city's exchequer
find themselves without the wherewith-
al to further accommodate the depart
ments which may call on them for
funds. In the vernacular of the streets,
the city is broke for the time being.
There was meeting of the city council
committee on finance yesterday noon
when it's members voted to report to the
city council recommending the adop-
ton of orders calling for the appropriate
ton of $46,S00. This appropriation will
leave something like 5000 in the treas
ury, which means that those depart
ments which have enough to tide them
through under ordinary circumstances
will be obliged to exercise the utmost
economy if they wish to come out even.
The amounts recommended will be ia
ken largely from appropriated ball
ances. There was a small balance Of
the liquor license money, but every re-
source has been drained, with the result
that most of the departments will be
able to squeeze through the year.
The school department will get $25, 000

which is the amount remaining of the
$4,000 promised earlier in the year. The
public buildings department asked for
$500, and was given $500, to be used
for inspection and construction of pub
lie buildings. The overseers of the poor
get $4,000 for the Home farm account
and $1,000 for city relief. They asked
$4,000 for the latter account, but the
committee cut the amount in two. The
fire department gets $4,000, the amount
asked for.
Yesterdays meeting made the last of
the season. The remainder of the Ket-
tie brook water loan, amounting to $780,

ever results in the way of premiums
will be applied to the water account. No
further appropriation will be made I'M
til estimates are filed in January.
WATER SUPPLY is DIMINISHING.
Statements in certain local papers
that the reservoirs are well filed, and
that there is an abundance of water in
the various storage basins, is amusing
to city officials acquainted with the
facts in the case.

the conditions as outlined, they realize
