RuBBIsH HEAP EIRES AGALN.

Chief Vaughn and his assistants are
entitled to credit for the vigor and ef-
ticiency of the fire department. They
take no chances, but send in a general
alarm when less vigilant and energetic
men might not recognize the necessity
of such action. Worcester is fortunate
in her fire fighters. If the CITY has
on the whole suffered less severely
from conflagration than others Of sim
liar size and importance, it is surely
not because there are no fire traps. no
dangerous neighborhoods, no deposits
of infiammable material, no buildings
that invite a rapid and destructive
spread of flames. On the contrary, all
the conditions needed for a disaster
are present here as elsewhere.
Early yesterday morning, the depart
ment was called to extinguish a fire in
one of the largest and tallest buildings
in town, and though the flames were
finally subdued, the reported loss was
about 100000. How did this fire get
its start? The spy's report shows that
it began in a rubbish heap in a closet.
possibly from spontaneous combustion.
This is not the first fire that has had
similar origin. On the contrary. the
firemen have had frequent experience
of them. Both the fire chief and the
board of health have warned the city.
again and again, Of the peril that turks
in these rubbish heaps. and have urged
the city government to provide for the
public collection of ashes and general
refuse. Nobody disputes that the re-
form is urgent, yet nothing has been
done.
A series of articles that have lately
appeared in The Spy has shown that the
collection of ashes and household re-
fuse is commonly a function of mr.
nicipal government in other cities. and
that the expense of the enterprise is
relatively trifiing. The heads of de-
partments not only in other cities but
in Worcester have been called to .as q.
tify on this point. Even granting that
a slight increase Of taxation were ne
N~79AtotNA " INC AFAbAAAs the expense
to individual taxpayers would be in the
greatmajority of instances, much small
er than that which they are now com
PEELED to bear for the disposal of ashes
and rubbish by private contract. But
besides this, they would eliminate a
fruitful cause OF fire losses and a
standing menace to the public health.
Worcester Is a quarter Of a century
behind the times in this matter. How
long will the people wait for the city
government to act?

WAS A WORCESTER MAN.
New President Of Brown
Born ia This City
in 1859.

The new president of Brown Univer-
sity has been elected. The name will
be announced at the meeting of the
corporation June 8, when the call will
be actually extended.
There is but little doubt that the man

Bristol, r. 1.
DR.. Faunce was fitted for college at
Concord N. H, and won the Greek
prize on entrance to Brown University
in 1876. He joined the Delta Epsilon
fraternity, won the prize for elocutio1,
and was class orator at commence
ment. During 1882 he was instruct
or in mathematics in Brown Univer-
sity.
He was graduated from the Newton
Theological Institution in 1884 ordained
pastor of the State Street Church at
Springfield in August, 1884, where he
remained three years, then going to
the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, New
York. He has been resident preacher
at Harvard twice, and is announced
for the third period this year. At the
University Of Chicago he taught homil-
les for three months each year in 1895
and 1896. In 1894 Brown University

HISTORY OF THE CIRCUS.
Various Changes That Have Taken Place in
Last Thirty Years.

The Van Amberg show and Howe's
London circus faded away many years
ago. Adam Forepaugh died in Jan
uary, 1890, and his show was bought
by Messrs. Barnum, Bailey and James
e. Cooper. The latter died two years
later and Mr.. Bailey bought his inter-
est IN the show from his estate, there
by becoming the sole proprietor.
The Sells Brothers have never had
any partners. Allen Sells retired some
years ago, and died owning a large part
of the city of Topeka, Kansas. Fph-
riam Sells died last year, and the two
younger brothers, Lewis and Peter.
who had always been the active man
ayers, are now at the head of the en-
terprise.
Two years ago, when Mr.. Bailey
could no longer resist the urgent an
peals to take his Barnum and Bailey
show back to England, he set about
arranging matters so that he could
continue in control of the circus busi-
ness in this country. He had the dirac-
ton of the tour of Buffalo Bills Wild
West, and he effected an alliance with
the Sells Brothers, whereby their show
was consolidated with the Adam Fore
paugh show. He also induced w. w
Cole, who was living in retirement. al
though still in the prime of life, 20 buy
an interest in the Adam Fcrepaugh
show and also one-half of the Bailey
interest in the tours Of Buffalo Bits
Wild West.
So it is that the four greatest arenfc
managers that have lived during the
past 80 years are now all united in the
one great aggregation-the Adam
Forepaugh and Sells Brothers. cansoI-
dated circuses-which is scheduled for
appearance in this city May 81.

BROMIDE OF ETHYL.
To the Editor Of The Spy:


Noticing in your edition of Thursday a
criticism upon our claim to the discovery
of bromide of ethyl as an anaesthetie. it
may be stated in justice to US that we
make no such claim. What claim has
been made to that effect has been made
by the newspapers, and that without rea-
son. for we furnished the papers with a
copy of our book, which gives the his
tory, properties, advantages and mode of
use of this anaesthetic. The claim that
we were the discoveries has never 5een
made by US, and what claims have been
made in the newspapers for us we are in
no way responsible for.
What we do claim is that we are the
sole manufacturers in America, and we
did discover the method of purifying bro
mide of ethyl for an anaesthetic, in its
impure state 1t being fatal.
The statement that Mr.. Peabody would
use this method of producing anaesthesia
is Incorrect. Mr.. Peabody has simply
been asked to try it. that is ALL
If any of the physicians who are willing
to examine our claims before giving their
opinions as to the newness of the anaes-
thetic viii send to us for our book on this
subject we will gladly send them copy
free of charge. Respectfully,

The International Navigation Compa-
ny, better known as the American line,
is planning to enter into competition
for the Pacific carrying trade, and of
course it will want a subvention of
some sort to help it along. 1t may be
that the present law under which the
New York, Paris, st. Louis and st.
Paul are operated is insufficient for
maintaining first rate American
steamship line in the Pacific, though
that is not yet clear. In that event
mail subsidies such as are granted by
other governments might reasonably
be allowed, without going to the
lengths of the Paine bill, which was
rejected by the last congress. These
two methods of encouraging shipping
do not rest at all on the same plane.
Our government must have mail facil-
tiles in the Pacific, and unless the ex-
perience of England goes for nothing, it
cannot get them without paying well
for them.

PAID HIGH HoNoRs.
Prof. Albert A. Nicholson. Formerly Of Clark
University.

Professor Albert Abraham Nicholson,
of the University of Chicago, recently
elected an honorary member of the
Royal Institute of Great Britain, is well
known in worcester, especially among
those interested in Clark University.
Professor Nicholson became connect
ed with the university during the first
year of It's existence, and remained
there for two years. Previous to this
he was at the Cahe school Of applied
science in Cleveland, and while there
gave promise of becoming a brilliant
Scientist. He received his degree at
Annapolis.
He lived at "a Woodland street dur
ing his stay in Worcester and devoted
the greater part of his time to measur-
ing the length of light waves. he de-
yised and made a number of pieces OF
annaratus by which he could determine
distances down to one-tenth of a wave
length. This was the first time sueh
thing had been done, and the French
government became interested in the
experiments on account Of their pos
sible connection with the metric sys-
tenn, and Mr. Nicholson was invited 10
demonstrate his work before body OF
French scientists.
The trustees of the university gave
him leave of absence with full pay, and
he went to France, where he met with
an instant triumph. The method was
adopted by the French government,
and is now used as standard OIL
measure instead of the former meter,
which was supposed to be one ten
millfonth part of the earth's quadrant
measured on meridian. The wave
lengths of light always remain con-
slant. and there can never be any
danger Of losing the standard OF meas
ure.
Besides this he was engaged in gen
eraI work, and devoted himself to re-
search. Wher the University of Chi
cago was opened Mr.. Nicholson was
offered a chair, which he accepted, with
q salary of $1,000, on condition of hav-
ing a laboratory built to cost not less
than $3.50, 000 The condition was &C
cepted, and the Rierson laboratory
built, the gift of the street car mag
nate of that name
Within the last few months he has
nerfected another piece of apparatus by
which the measurement of the wave
length of light may be determined even
more accurately. He was made
member of the American Academy OF
Sciences a few years ago, and has been
connected with a number Of scientlhe
investigations lately. He is about 40
years old, and a favorite with all who
know him. He has three children, one
girl and two boys, who are at present
at Harvard.

Whether with a purpose to extort
ransom or for whatever purpose, there
seems to be no doubt that the sudden
disappearance of little Marion Clark in
New York is a genuine case of child
stealing. The motive may be some
what clouded by the reflection that
the nurse who took the infant must
have known that it's parents could not
pay well for the return of the little one,
but that apparently does not weigh so
much with the police as other certain
evidence. It happens now that rewards
aggregating $4,000 have been offered for
the restoration of the child, and it is
fair to expect that if this money is
earned it will not be by parties inter
ested in the kidnapping. The crime of
child stealing is so abhorrent, so de-
spicable, so cruel, that no wonder need
be expressed at the profound sympathy
expressed for the afflicted parents or
at the public stir made over the occur
renee.

The Massachusetts congressman are
to meet in Boston next week, to dis
cuss the speakership. Though the
prospect of an agreement upon Repre-
sentative Moody as the candidate of
the state delegation, is less encour-
aging than might be desired, it is not
beyond the bounds Of possibility.
The wisdom of united action is
obvious, but there are antagonistic in-
huences at work that need not be de-
scribed just yet. In this connection it
is not Irrelevant to quote the remark of
Mr.. Sherman, the New York candidate,
to the effect that the next speaker will
be the servant, not the master, of the
House. This may seem to some a sa-
gacious observation, but the fact re-
mains that the speaker needs to be not
only an impartial presiding officer, but
a man of sufficient force to control way
ward factions and keep the House
down to business. It may be possible
to improve upon the Reed rules, but
the process requires a strong man, not
a weak one.
