JuRYM IN ABSENT.

The case of Herman Rosenthal
against William and Joseph Move, all
of Gardner, was the case ready for
trial, but as two of the jury had been
unable to reach Worcester, the court
waited until 1890 o'clock, when the
two jurors arrived, and the case re-
sumed. The plaintiff took the stand,
testifying that he was ordered by one
of the defendants to feed the horse in
the stable, and that while so doing, the
horse kicked him in the head, so that
the skulls was broken and two arms
crushed. The case, which has an ad
damnum, will be resumed this morning

is BUSINESS IMPROVING?
Various Ideas on the Subject and
Some Good Advice to Those
Who Are Depressed.

This is a question on which nearly
every newspaper in the land seems to
differ. Business men also disagree, Some
find that everything is sailing smoothly
and have very cheerful story to tell.
Too many others shake their heads sadly
and tell you that things were never
worse. They seem to scent failure in the
not distant future. 1t cannot be denied
that times are very uncertain The eff
fects of the panic are still being felt 1t
may be years before prosperity will ac-
tually return. Thousands of people who
ought to be employed cannot find work
Gold is leaving the country in vast guam
titles. The treasury is being depleted. The
presidential year is here.
All these things make the times full of
uncertainty. Therefore, it is not strange
that both men and women are suffering
from the evil effects of continual anxiety
and worry. That is undoubtedly why
so many thousands of people who were
once strong and well are now complain
ing of tired feelings and all the other dis
tressing symptoms that result from an
over-worked nervous system. The only
way to prevent these ailments and hold
up under the present depressing infiu-
ences is to keep strong and well.
But, you say, this is easy advice but
not easy to follow. Very true and yet
modern science and discovery have found
just the way by which this can be done
No man or woman who keeps the kid
neys and liver in good shape will ever
be seriously sick or even feel out of
sorts" for any length of time. The con-
tinuous use of that grandest of all mod
ern scoveries-Warners Safe Cure, will
certainly keep the body healthy, the mind
clear, the blood circulating and thus make
life pleasure.
These are no idle thoughts but facts
that have been proven over and over
again in the experience of weakened men
and women Will you not profit by the
suggestion?

SUBURBAN STALLED.

The Worcester and Suburban trolley
road was tied hand and foot early yes
terday, and at 2SO o'clock in the after
noon all attempts to clear the tracks
were abandoned.
Cars were stalled in Leicester and all
along the line. At the Spencer end ev-
erything was buried beneath huge
drifts, which defied large gangs of men
who went to work early ia the day UNI
der orders of Superintendent German.
At Leicester, four ears, a pillow and q
salt car were stuck fast in the drifts.
Gangs of shoveleTs went to work with
a will in an endeaVor to dig them out,
but the cold was SO very severe that
they could not stand it, and were com
PEELED to leave the cars where they
stood.
The car doors were closed tightly
and the notornen and conductors
found warmer quarters to spend the
balance of the day and evening.
The cars between Worcester and Mill
bury were not able to get over the road,
and before the dinner hour all traffic
was suspended
Superintendent John b. German said
in an interview, late yesterday after
noon:
rms storm is without queS4on the
NEST severe one that we have had to deal
with since the road was opened to the
public. The storm of Nov. Is was a
baby beside the one we dealt with to-
day.
II discovered by noontime that 1t was
a useless expense to try and keep the
road open, the men could not work in
face OF the fine snow and the cold
wind and I ordered that no further at
tempt should be made until there was a
change for the better"

The MARLBORO LINE.

The Marlboro line did not run at all
during the day. One snow plow was
sent over the line early in the morning,
but it could not keep the track clear,
and the officials decided that it would
be better to discontinue traffic.
The drifts between Worcester and
Marlboro are said to be six and eight
feet high in low spots, and it will prob
ably be several hours before the MARI

THE CITY,.

She stands. with her stony beaches
Just touched by old Oceans arm,
For islands fair are sentinels there
To guard her coasts from harm.
She stretches the torch Of freedom
Toward the Old World from the New.
And her towers rise to as cloudless skies
As are mirrored in Oceans blue.
She feels the pulse Of the nation,
She knows the great Of the land,
For they love the strife Of the throbbing
life
In the hollow Of her hand.
The weary and broken-hearted
Plead in her arms to rest;
The wretched hide in her mantle wide,
And the suffering in her breast.
Though forests be grand and silent
Though fields be wide and sweet
Her children learn for her voice to yearn.
And the tramp Of her restless feet.
She stands, with her stony beaches
Embraced by old Oceans arm,
Through the noise and light-through the
smoldering night,
In a tide Of unending charm.

HE DID NOT HAVE IT.
How q Joshing Judge Sailed Down
DELIGHTFULLY."- Fresh
YOunW Man.

William Lightfoot Visscher tells this char.
acteristic story of Hon. Isaac Parker, famous
as the terrible judge at Fort Smith, Ark,
who probably sentenced more men to be ex-
ecuted than any other Judge that ever lived.
This was not, however, because he was so
unrelentingly severe, but because he had
the hardest and most numerous lot of Grim
mails to deal with that ever came within the
jurisdiction of such an official. One day
when there was an unusually large batch Of
culprts to be sentenced, the Judge looked
compasisonately over his spectacles at one
young scamp, and said.
''In consideration of the youth and in
experience of this prisoner l shall let him off
with fine of $50"
Before the Judge had done speaking the
very fresh young man coolly stretched his
right leg and ran his hand into his trousers
pocket on one side, remarking nonchalantly
as he did so:
Chats all hunky, judge; I've got that
