BALOHEAOS NOT IMMUNE.
The New York Notion That They Are New
err Insane OisproYed.

If the hasty observations of many
people were to be regarded as gospel,
the bald headed man would stand
forth before all the world as the en-
bodiment of virtue and an example of
immunity from variety of mlsfor-
tunes that befalI the ordinary mortal
who glories in his abundant capillary
adornmenJ. Periodically somebody
rises to remark that the bald headed
man. is never guilty of this or that
transgression, or is not subject to this
or that misfortune. In fact the chief
charge against the bald-headed man is
that he is over susceptible to the
charms of the ballet, and despite con-
slant chatting he still insists upon oc-
cupying a seat in the front row.
The latest blessing claimed for the
bald-headed man is immunity from in
sanity. A correspondent wrote the New
York Sun. yesterday that he has been
informed by a man who seemed to
known what he was talking about that
bald-headed men never go crazy, and
that there are no headed men in
any insane asylum in the country. The
correspondent asks if this is true, and
if so, why? The question is interesting,
and The Spy man who consulted an in
sanity expert, yesterday, got a reply
that should completely dlSllluSlOnlZe
the Suns correspondent.
The Spy man called at the Worcester
lunatic asylum, and in the absence of
superintendent E. V. Scribner consult
ed DR.. II. w. Page, his assistant. DR..
Page said that the statement that bald
headed men never go crazy is untrue.
In his L years of experience in daily
dealing with lunatics he has treated
more than a thousand cases, and he
would say that the ratio of bald headed
men to men with good crops of hair on
their heads was as great in the asylum
as in the world outside. DR.. Page con-
Quoted The Spy man to the asylum la
boratory to examine the "Narrenhaus"
print, showing the different types OF in
sanity. There is a bald-headed man in
the group, and his type of lunacy runs
to religion. Still it does not follow that
bald-headed men are prone to go in
sane over religion, for their illusions
may take any form.

UNDER THE BAN.
F. McGuin TESS Declared Unfayorable to Or
ganized Labor.

p. f. McGuinness, proprietor of the
plumbing establishment at 80 Thomas
street, was declared unfavorable to or
ganzed labor and his shop non-union,
at special meeting of the Journey
men Plumbers Union, in labor head
quarters, yesterday morning.
McGuinness has figured in several
miXups with representatives of the nm
ion, but all have escaped publicity I'M
til the crisis was brought about by his
refusal to discharge unlicensed helpers
and hire licensed union plumbers.
A short time ago a committee from
the union visited house in which Nc
Guinness had the contract for plumbing
work. a young man who had not
served apprenticeship was doing the
Work. Such an Offense is punishable
by law with ! heavy fine. McGuin
hess promised to hire none but licensed
men, and the union kept the matter
quiet.
According to President T. F. Harvey
Of the Journeymen Plumbers Union.
VINO was seen by Spy man last night,
McGulnness has not kept his promises,
and yesterdays action became a mat
tel of duty. President Harvey said:
The principal objection we had to the
system at McGuinness' was that men
who were unskilled and unlicensed were
doing work which the customer was
obliged to pay for at the rate of SO. 50 or
"a per day, when the workmen were not
getting more than IS or 80 a week.
BY such jobs. done by a plumber
supposed to have a union shop, the
standard Of the union for good work
was lowered. Had McGuinness been
loyal to his agreement, we would have
dropped the case, but we have nositive
proof that when he discharged the I'M
licensed man who was imposing on the
people, he hired another one of the
Same calibTe."

THROWING CEMENT.
Latest Device of Street Vandais Is Causing
Much Complaint.

Storekeepers on Green street, in the
vicinity of the railroad crossing are
seriously considering making a com
plant against the city in allowing
loads of cement to lay at the corner of
Green and Temple streets for number
Of days at a time without Waterman
to look after it.
Youngsters from different parts of
the city have made a practice for the
past month of gathering up handfuls
of the cement and throwing it against
swinging signs and plate glass win
dows. The cement is always mixed in
large quantities and the youngsters get
it when it is soft, and if allowed to re-
main on a sign or house for an hour
after it strikes, it hardens so that il is
next to an imDOssibiity to get it off
without destroying the paint.
one stOrekeeper near the corner con-
sidered that his sign is damaged 50
badly thar nothing short Of a new coat
of paint will repair ii. At first the van
dals confined their work to that section
but during the last week complaints
have come from other sections of the
city, The policemen patroling that sec
ton have been notified about the mat
ter and have failed to locate the mis-
creautS.

COnstables Search the
Shrewsbury
Shores.
IT WAS THE SAME OLD STORY.
Greeted By Proprietors
But Find Nothing
discriminating.

A more dismal or uncomfortable day
at this time of year at the lake than
yesterday would be hard to imagine
Very few people went down from the
city and the parks and approaches pre-
sented a desolate and deserted ap-
pearance. There was excitement in the
air, however, but ii was confined LARGE
ly to the Shrewsbury shore.
The cause was the periodical visit
OF the Shrewsbury constabes in search
for evidence of illegal liquor selling.
The constables, W. H. Donley and A.
l. Bartlett, started on their tour Of
inspection early in the afternoon, and
of course found no evidence at any
place that would lead them to believe
liquor was sold Illegally.
The cOnstables make at least one
such trip every year.
Yesterday it was the same old story.
All the hotels were remarkably free of
any discriminating evidence. The con-
stables were received by smiling pro-
prietors and attendants at all Pile
and were given the open sesame to all
rooms, closets and out buildings. None
of the hotels housed a loungng crowd
Of men or women, and stranger
might think that they never did.
The official tour has been made, ard
if precedent is to be followed, the con-
stables will not appear again in their
official capacities.
There was much interest in rowing
at the different club houses, for the
New England regatta will be held at
Springfield a week from tomorrow.
The high school and Wachuset. club
were once counted upon for entries in
the eight cared events, but the high
school crew will not enter, and it IS
doubtful if the Wachusett crew VIII
be sent.
Entries for the regatta close tomor-
row, and the only crews from Worces-
ter will be from the Wachusett club,
and be limited to scullers. Ten Eyck
and Lewis will be entered in the senior
double: Ten Eyck will be entered in
the American champions class; Lewis
will be entered in the senior or single,
champions barred. and Kerns will be
entered ! the junior single. The Lake
side club. which early in the season
considered entering fOur-blade and
war canoe crew, will not start its men
training until this week. and then only
with an eye to the Quinsigamond in
ternatlonal regatta,
Ten Eyck his father and Lewis
rOWed six miles over the regatta course
in the afternoon. The Wachusett ju-

DEATH CLAIMS HIM.
Private Schultz of Worces-
ter Dies in the
Philippines.

Worcesters representation in the
United States army fighting the insur-
gents in the Philippine islands has been
diminished by the death of George
Schultz, a private in co. A, Twenty
third United States infantry.
Private Schultz died at Manila May
% of typhoid fever, and the first init
nation his relatives had of his death
was received in a copy of Gen. Otis re-
port of deaths and casualties, printed in
The Spy a week ago today.
The shock was a heavy one for his
mother and sister, and they immedi-
ately wrote the war department for
confirmation or denial of the report.
Their worst fears We're realized yes
terday when the following letter was
received from the war department:
War Department,
'Adjutant Generals Office,
washington, June 23 1899.
"ro Mrs. Mary Schultz, As Illinois
street, Worcester, Mass.
This office regrets to inform you
that George Schultz, Co. A, Twenty

George Schultz was one of the young
men of Worcester whose souls Weretired
with patriotism when President MCkin-
ley issued his call for volunteers year
ago, and after much perseverance he
won his mothers consent to his enlist
ing in the army.
He was one of the first young men to
present himself for examination upon
the Of q rapr1fitillpr Offipp in
Worcester by Capt. D. f. Anglum, and
was accepted and mustered May 10,
1898 He was Immediately sent to Fort
Mcpherson, Ga, and assigned to the
Twelfth regiment. When he was there
three weeks and chances of seeing SER
vice in Cuba seemed slight, he was one
of the men who volunteered to join the
Twentythird regiment for service in
the Philippines. He was put into Co.
A and in a short time sailed from San
Francisco for Manila.
He had experience fighting the Span
iardS, and later has battled with the
insurgents, and was known as a thor
ough soldier and capital marksman.
Private letters to friends of the young
soldier spoke of him as one of the best
on the island, and in his own letters
he showed brave and accomplishing
spirit. His last letter to his mother
was dated May 7. and at that time he
was in excellent health and wrote hope
fully of the chance of speedy return
to the city, although he said that he
might possibly re-enlist, as men enti-
tied To discharges We're offered $500 to
re-enlist. A short time prior to his
death he was one of the detachment
sent to Cebu, about 500 miles from Ma
Mia, after passing 16 days on the firing
line and becoming completely worn out.
The young soldier was born in Wor-
cester, April 16. 1879, and was educated
in the public schools, afterward learn
ing the blacksmith's trade At the
time Of his enlistment he was employed
bv Reed & Prince. He was 10 years
