of them that he would get their checks
cashed at a brokers' office. The men
were agreeable, and after endorsing
the checks handed them over to Allen,

since.
A few days after Allen left Worces-
ter one of the masons in his employ,
Daniel Mccarthy reported the matter
to Inspector O'Day, and a warrant was

Papers Asking for Recount Will Be

count, and intends to Ale his petition to-
day He said last night that he has been
confident from the first that he would
win out, and he adheres to the belief al
though the original count was against
him for that reason he will ask for a re-
count.
Some of his friends feel that it will be a
40 to l shot against his making a gain on
the second count. and the supporters OF
John G. Hagberg claim that the republi-
can candidate will win out by larger
majority than first announced.
The petition which Mr.; Ryan will file
with the city clerk today follows:
1--WE, the undersigned, qualified
voters Of ward 5, 18th Worcester rep
resentative district, have reason to be-
lieve and do believe that the records
or copies of the records, as made by
the election officers of the first, second
third and fourth precincts of said ward
and district. of the ballots cast in the
election of Nov. Z, 1899, for repre- sentative
for said district, are erroneous, in that
their return of votes as cast for John
G. Hagberg exceeds the actual number
of votes cast for said Hagberg; and
in that the record of votes as cast for
James F. Ryan is less than the num-
ber of votes cast for said Ryan And
we believe that a recount of all the
votes cast in said district for represen-
tative will affect the election Of John
q. Hagberg, voted for at said election.
Wherefore, they pray that a recount
of the ballots cast in precincts one,
two, three and four of said 18th repre-
sentative district may be had"

it: with my worldly goods 1 thee

Florence Nightingale.

On May 10 Florence Nightingale at
tained her seventy ninth birthday. For
many years she has been an invalid, but
her sufferings, at times intense, do not
apparently lessen her capacity for work,
nor impair her natural amiability Of
disposition. She IL tall, with small hands
and feet, low, musical voice and pre-
possessing countenance. which, though
cold and almost stern in repose, bright
ems into cheerfulness and vivacity in
conversation. The dislike for notoriety.
the conspicuous feature of her character
in early life, has grown upon her until
she shuns society and now receives only
personal and intimate friends and such
persons as come to her for advice re-
garding the great interest she has al
ways had most at heart. She is wealthy
in her own right, has an elegant house
in the West End Of London. but pre-
fers the country, and spends most of the
year Mt Clayton house in Buckingham
shire, the country seat CT her sister,
Lady verney.
As might be expected, most Of her
working day is given up to her corre-
spondence, for hospital superintendents
and physicians all over the world regard
her as one of the greatest living au-
thorities on the care Of the sick, and
consult her with regard to many diff
cult and delicate matters arising in
their work.

His Nustard Plaster,

The mustard plaster is harmless
looking wafer, but it must be handled
with as much circumspection as n
woman. There was newly married
man once whose wife told him to put
on q mustard plaster to cure cold. He
had faith in her. and put 1t on. Then
he went to sleep, being gifted with the
power Of sleeping under torments which
is not given to one man In a Thousand.
Tho plaster seemed to him somewhat
unreasonably hot, but he argued that
the hotter it was the better. Besides.
he had confidence In his wife. Next day
he found well developed blister ON his
chest. and his wife only laughed and
said she had supposed any one would
have sense enough to take off plaster
when it hurt him. Though that was 1 1
months ago. the mark Of the plaster is
still upon the man like brand, and he
now regards his wife's remedies with
suspicion. York Commercial Ad-

hidden In the usual way to n dinner
and arrived ON the evening set with no
suspicion that other than conven-
tional meal awaited them. To their sur-

large room in the basement of the
house. Once across its threshold they
found themselves in perfect London
grillroom, whose plncarded name, "Pic-
cadilly Restaurant" was hardly need
ed. Every detail of one Of these English
eating houses was faithfully and most
cleverly carried ont. The walls were
whitewsshed and covered with English
theater posters. Sawdust was on the
floor. and across one end of the room
were the usual lunch counter and bar,
with stoins and ale bottles, and back OF

but after that the guests were seated Mt
the small tables, each table being laid
in perfect grillroom style, and deli
cicus dinner followed. Every thing wac
served after the model. The turkeys

carved by the host. The plum puddings
and mince pies were also brought in on
tables and were cut and offered by the
