The schools were commenced today
after the spring vacation. The teach
ers went to work with renewed energy
refreshed by their brief rest. The work
of the high school will be renewed to-
morrow. Inspector Crowley spent
most of the day at his school working
both of the boards formaldehyde gem
orators for all they were worth.
Post Office Inspector T. W Swift
said to Postmaster Stevens that he
should make his report of a selection
of site for post office to the depart
ment the first of this week. 1t is ex-
pected that the decision of the depart
ment will be announced in a few days.
AS has been printed in The Spy, Post
master Stevens is very strongly in ia
vor of the quarters occupied by the
| Young Mems Christian Association.
| Charles o. Shedd, clerk of the board
| of selectmen, has received a letter from
the metropolitan water board, notify
| ing the selectmen that the board has
confirmed the appointments of O'Mal-
| ley and Clarke to be policemen. The
announcement is of especial interest
because of an effort made by the
| friends of Cannon and Kramer, the
! democratic policemen who were sup>
planted, to secure charges and public
| trial, or be replaced. The precedent
| seems to be established that the town
has the right in reason to appoint the
men who shall do its police duty. At
any rate, what promised to be dis
| agreeable situation is settled as COM
| fortably as possible for the administra-
| ton.
The Waite comedy company took the
| town by storm tonight. James R.
Waite came with the company early
| in the afternoon. He is a unique char
|
| ing on a very white shirt bosom, and
more about the show business in his
| head, his people claim, than any other
man on the road. At any rate, he
talked with the correspondent of The
Spy this afternoon about the days
when he was a pioneer in the 10, 20 and
30 cents show business. In fact, Mr..
Waite was the inventor of his kind
of business. The earlier experiences
he related were not without charm.
lJust now Mr. Waite is preparing to
take a company to England.
Manager Cannon is going to make a
test to see whether matinees can be
made to pay here. This is an excellent
| show town, so far as the evening is
concerned. but matinees the people
have steadfastly refused to touch If
they don't patronize these matinees,
Manager Cannon will consider that
nothing will attract them, and there
will be no more afternoon perform
-lances here for some time.
Miss A. r. Ellio has decided to es-
tablish a nursery kindergarten, and
will make a location as near the Ian
caster mills as possible The institu-
ton will be for the benefit of mothers
who work in the mills. For small
fee they can leave their little ones with
Miss Ellio during the day.
The talk that the employees of the
T hnr rod
to run six looms in place of the five
some of them are now running, has
been revived within two or three days,
and is causing much muttering among
the weavers. There seems to be no
foundation for the story, but it is dill
gently circulated, neve>sAeleSs. Be
fore the employees returned to work,
after the strike of a few days ago, they
were assured by Agent Charles H.
Richardson, that no plan of working
them on six looms was in contempla-
ton Nothing has since occurred to
warrant a belief that this was I'M
true.
The bright spring weather has Won
derfully increased travel over the
Worcester and Clinton road.
Dr. H. A. Noyes, who has been prae-
ticing temporarily here as a specialist
in diseases of the eye and ear, has
gone to Pittsfeld, with view of max
ling a permanent location. An eitorp
was made by some of the physicians
to get DR.. Noyes to locate in town, but
he decided in favor of a larger place.
