A HARD TASK.
Difficult for Marlboro City
Fathers to Get a Quorum.

Marlboro, March 21.-It is with diff
Guilty these days that the board of al
derman can muster enough members
for quorum.
-Four members of the board are
numbered with the strikers, and Of
these Alderman Cleary is working at
Barre, Alderman Ward is employed in
a Brockton shoe factory and Alderman
Labossiere is at Manchester, N. II.
Alderman Warren, a member of the
Lasters' Union, is still at home.
1t requires four members to make a
quorum and just that number are now
in the city. Most OF the meetings of
the board held this year have taken
place on Saturday evenings, in order
that the members working out of town
might attend. 90, 1t sometimes happens,
however, that it is necessary to have
a special meeting.
Monday u meeting was called. Only
the four members were in Marlboro
Two of these, Aldermen Morse and
Howe, are republicans, and two, Alder
men Meagher and Warren, are demo-
Gratis. All were at the city hall at the
| specified hour except Alderman
Meagher.
City Marshal Pope was sent out to
locate him. but that gentleman could
not be found; consequently. the meet
ing could not be held.
1t has been rumored about the city
/ nan that Mayor Plunkett would veto
the order passed by both branches Of
the city government granting the free
use OF the city hall to the strikers four
successive Sunday afternoons. The
reason for the supposed action of the
mayor was said to be due to the attacks
made upon himseuf and members of
the city government by speakers at re-
cent mass meetings of the strikers.
Although f, II. Morse. manager of
the M. b. j. A., has issued a challenge
TO play his team against the Hudsons
series of three games for 800 a side,
no reply has been received from Man
| ager F. II. Sawyer.
only one game in the state league
remains to be played by the NJ. b. b.
A., and that takes place next Saturday.
az Millbury the Lifts" being the op-
posing team Should the NJ b. b..
A. win, the championship will surely
come to this city. If the Lifts" cap
! lure the game, the NJ b. b. A. and

The Inst Act nusher.
Austin Statesman.

Austin Statesman
II there is any one class Of idiots on this
earth who should be summarily handled
that class is the last act theater rusher."
This human vampire has afflicted the
public from time immemorial, and it is
feared that he will continue to do so unit.
Uncle Gabriel blows his final tune, but an
indignant public will doubtless rise en-
masse from time to time and demand his
suppression, IL such be possible. This
individual never fails to make a wild
dash for the door when there is any evil
dence OF the fact that the play is about
to end. He will not accommodate the
public by occupying a seat in the rear of
the theater. Not much. He invariably
secures himself seat on the front row
or near by, and If possible he prefers an
inside seat SO as to be able to bark some
man S shins or plant his half yard of sod.
presser upon some lady's foot as he makes
the initiatory leap for his wild run down
the aisle to the theater door He never
falls to climb out and pace down this
aisle between the acts, thus giving notice
in advance that he is in the house While
all this is very inconvenieut to those
around him and exceedingly annoying to
( the public in general, 1t Is not until the
grand finale that he fully asserts him
self. When the idea percolates the brain
b tnat tne performance Is nearing compile
( tion then he is up and doing. He grabs
his hat. regardless OF what the closing
scene Will be. and starts on his wild
rush for the door. Irrespective of the
( feelings of those around him he buiges
frantically from his seat into the aisle,
not infrequently dragging a ladys wrap
or gentleman's overcoat with him, and
once rghting himself one would think
that troop of cavalry had invaded the
place. Tearing down the aisle on a dead
rush he naither hears the CONCLUDING
lines of the act nor does he permit any
one else to do so. Once in the lobby OF
the theater he props himself mp against
the wall and lecrs at everybody as they
come out. Such Is his nightly occupa-
ton. and like all public nuisances should
be abated.
Many closing scene of production
is ruined by this wild-cyed IDIOT who
imaglnes that his life depends upon being
first in the lobby-A there is any pas
sible excuse for such nightly exhibitions
they have not yet been satisfactorily ex-
planned to the public. Until there is
some good and justifable excuse given for
this last act theater rusher" suffer
ing public would join in the appeal for
the suppression of the idiot at any and
all costs.
