CLOTHES cLUTcHERs.
They are Doing Land Office Business
Here Now.

James McMurray, employed by VIII
lard Pond of Vernon street, reported to
the police yesterday the loss of a valise
containing a suit of clothes and several
shirts and collars. They We're taken
from the barn in the rear of Mr..
Ponds residence. The loss was not
discovered by Mr.. McMurray until he
went to get his Sunday clothes.
Michael Halpin of Oxford went into a
barber shop on Mechanic street Satur-
day evening, and when his turn came
to get into the chair for a shave, he
laid a bundle containing a suit of
clothes on one of the seats. After he
got out of the chair and had paid his
bill he found that his bundle had dis
appeared. He reported the matter to
the police.
Miss Amanda a. Anderson, a domes-
tic employed at the home of J. Warren
Sargent, acted so strangely on Lancas-
ter St, Sunday, that officer J. Reyes took
her to station /. DIR. Clark last night
made an examination of the woman
and found she was suffering from
temporary fit of insanity. She refused
to speak to any one and it was at first
supposed that she was dumb.

He Denies Worcester
Clergymen Were
Complicated.
IN THE ]. S. ABORN FAILURE.
Does Not Believe Any of
Them Ever Bought
Options.

Rev. A. z. Conrad. D. D., of Old South
church last night took occasion to score
people who circulate stories derogatory
to the reputation Of others without first
ascertaining the truth of their tale.
Some idle tongue starts story and
it is waited along by others who do not
stop to consider what they are saying
or do not care low damaging it is.
He took fer his text, "They have
swords in their mouths"
He said the tongue is a little member,
but often governs a PERSONS life. The
greatest curse of society is the freedom
with which other peoples regulations
are handled regardless of consequences.
AS an example of the limit to which
some people viii go to start story, he
referred to the recent failure Of James
s. Aborn, at which time it was reported
several local cleTgynlen were losers who
had heen dabbling in stocks. He said
that to his personal knowledge this was
one of the most Infamous stories ever
started, ard he was positive it was a
lie. He doubted if half the clergymen
of Worcester knew where Aborn's place
of business was, and he felt sure that
those who did know, never went into
the office. A list of 20 names of peo-
pie said to be among the losers by the
failure was handed him shortly after
the brokers' failure, and he could stake
his reputation that not one of the men
in the list ever had anything to do with
ar "option" in their lives.
The sermon created quite a stir in the
large congregation, and the ministers
discourse was freely discussed after the
service.

SMITH WILL RIDE.
Harry W. Will Figure In Country Club
Races.

~ 800 -
Races.
H. w. Smith will figure prominent
ly in the Brookline Country club races
to be run Saturday, May q, and Tues
day, May 30.
1t is only once a year that the crack
runners and steeplechasers come to
New England, and the coming races
are far and away above the average
of former years in number and quality,
and are good enough to call together
the pick of the best runners and cross
country horses of the east.
Eight races are on the card, with a
long list of entries for each event.
While the purses are not as large as in
the Grand National or the Information
al at Morris Park, the sport at Brook
line has already called together the best
steeplechasers in America, and this
year an exceptionally clever lot of
thoroughbreds will run for the gener-
Gus purses offered by the Country
club.
Mr.. Smiths horses were shipped to
Brookline from Morris park last Thurs
day. Jack Dandy, on whom the Wor-
cester man banked to win the Myopia
steeplechase, is sick and will not be
started unless he improves with unex-
pCCLGU IdplQlLy ILLS WEN. JdNh Ian
dy was handily a winner of the Mead
OVERLOOK cup, two weeks ago. He was
started for schooling in the races at
Morris park last week, and in the star
event of the meet kept well in the
bunch for a mile and three-quarters,
when he showed slight signs Of firing.
Instead of urging him with spurs, Mr..
Smith took him back, intending to save
him for the Country club Myopia. His
sickness is a great disappointment to
Mr.. Smith, for he has every confidence
that when in proper form Jack Dandy
would put up a race hard to beat for
the Myopia.
However in that race the Worcester
man will not be without a mount. He
will ride Harrison K. Gamers st. Ru-
dolph. This famous hunter that has
been a winner three times in the last
three weeks, was developed by Mr..
Smith, who rode him to win nine in ten
starts against the best in the country.
If Jack Dandy rights into shape be-
fore the race Mr.. Smith will ride his
own mount.
In the three-quarters mile fat race,
Saturday, and in the mile fiat, Mon
day, Mr.. Smith will ride his bay geld
ing, Fuscho, by the Bard-Nerrina-
Fuscho is a -year-old and was pur-
chased as a yearling at Morris park.
horses, among them. Diversion, Whit
timber and hedges at Grafton and
shows marked Improvement from year
to year. In view of the fact that a
horse must receive schooling in the
races, Mr.. Smith has hopes that
Fuscho viii develop into a winner.
In the hack races, at one mile Satur-
day and three-quarters of a mile Tues
day, Mr. Smith will ride his chestnut
mare Naviculine by The Bard-Bella-
dona. She is a 4-year-old and a likely
prospetct.
King T. will start in the Country
club open steeplechase Saturday and in
the Dukes cup Saturday In the lat
ter race Mr.. Smith will ride against 25
horses, among them. Diversion, White
Carriers, and with $1,000 offered as purse
besides a $1,000 cup, the racing should
be of a gilt edged variety

MURDER AT BALL GAME.
After Killing His wife in Public Murderer
Is Hit With Bat.

New York, May 21.-In the presence
of several hundred people who were
watching a ball game on the hillside
by the West Shore railroad, between
Hoboken and Jersey City, John Moret-
ia, a block cutter, forty years of age.
today murdered his wife, Gavinna,
thirty-fve years old, by stabbing her.
Moretta had been separated from his
wife for many months and discovered
her and her mother on the hillside
which overlooked the ball game. He
asked her to return to him.
She refused in spite of threats to kill
her. Moretta drew a knife and stabbed
his wife three times while the crowds
looked on. The woman was killed in
stantly. 1t was done so quickly no one
could prevent the murder. Moretta
fled down the hillside towards the river,
but a base ball player chased him and
laid him scalp open with a blow from
a bat. Moretta was then taken into
custody.

NO SUNDAY PAPERS.
Rev. DR.. Lewis of Pilgrim
Church Cries "Boy-
cott."

Rev. DR.. Lewis of Pilgrim church
preached last evening the third sermon
in the course, Present day problems"
his subject being "Workmen and the
rest day question" The text was
Exodus 20, 8. six days shalt thou la
Dor and do all thy work"
He was proud to count myself a
workman and the son of workman.
Some people use the term in very
narrow sense, as though workmen
were only those who toll with the
hands. But with. equal truth is he a
workman who works with his head, and
the ideal workman is the one VINO
works with both his head and his
hands.
The necessity Of one days rest in
seven is rooted and grounded in the
divine law Six days shalt thou Ia
Dor and do all thy work" So vigor-
ously was this law kept in ancient
times that all labor and cooking were
forbidden upon the day of rest. Even
the building of fires and lighting OF
lamps were prohibited. The necessity
Of one days rest in seven rests also on
the requirements of mans physlcal
need. One cannot do his best work and
continue to do it if he works seven
days in the week. In England where
the Sabbath is kept, the working man
produces as much in fifty-six hours as
the Frenchman does in seventy-two
hours.
The Rev. DR.. Perrin in speaking of
the Boston ball team, ascribes not a
little of their success to the fact that
they rest one day in seven. In the ire
mendous strain upon the men, because
of the intense rivalry between the
clubs, and the prolongation of the con-
test during six months, the morale OF
the players cannot be an insignificant
factor in the result. If one day in
seven is requisite, it is absolutely i'm
perative that we have a uniform day.
1t would seem very reasonable that it
should be the first day of the week,
principally and more practically be-
cause this day is more largely kept as
a rest day than any other.
That there are some agencies at work
today seeking to destroy this much
needed day of rest all are cognizant
Selfish pleasure seekers are among this
number.
The railroads and the street cars are
mighty factors in overthroWlng inc
workmans rest day. Yet another rae
tor initiating against the working
mans rest day is the Sunday newspa-
per. 1t is not too much to say that
this agency does more to encourage
seven day a week labor than all orher
agencies combined.
Boycotting is an extreme measure,
but the only way to meet the con-
science of the Sunday press is through
the pocketbook of the editor. II the
people of this city who believe III
day of rest for the working man anu
who believe that the only practical day
e The first day of the week, would re-
fuse to oatronize the Sunday newspa-
ner either by advertising in its col
umns or reading its news, we coule
soon do for worcester what the Chris-
tian people of England have done lof
London.

Aguinaldo's ENJOYS
Lack Binding
Authority.
THEY CAN ONLY REPORT.
Major Kobbe Takes Little
Town of Santa
Ana.

Manila, May %, II a. m.-The Filipino
commissioners who arrived here on
Saturday to negotiate with the United
States commissioners, held a conference
this morning with Messrs. Schurman,
Worcester and DENLY. They say that
they are without power to bind the So
called Filipino government in any par
ticular, and can only refer any results
of the present negotiations to Aguin
aldo.
The Filipino commissioners, Gen.
Gregorio Del Pillar, Lieut.. Col. Alberto
Barretto, Maj. Zealcita and Senior Ora
clio Gonzaga, with their families, spent
today visiting friends in Manila, and
conferred with Senores F1orentine Tor
ros, Pablo Ocampo and Teodore Yanco,
members of the local Filipino associa-
ton who will participate in the meet
ings with the American commissioners.
Senior Torros was a member of Aguin-
aldos commission before the war.
He opposes independence and favors
autonomy; and he has been most in
huential in persuading the followers of
Aguinaldo to make the present adj
vances. Autonomy is the burden of
the talk of the Filipinos, and it is
thought that the kind they wish for
would be little different from the
scheme of an American protectorate,
which they talked of before the war.
Senior Palermo, who has succeeded the
irreconcilable Mabini as president of
the Filipino so-called cabinet, is a stu
dent and a writer of ability. He once
drew up plan of autonomy under
Spain which the Spanish government
promised to adopt, there then being a
troublesome rebellion on foot. The
American commissioners, in studying
the question of Philippine government,
have found several good points in this
scheme. Palermo is now the strong
man in Aguinaldo's party.
All the moneyed leaders of the insur
rection see that it is hopeless, and are
anxious for peace. Those who want
money think they may profit by ha-
lassing the Americans a while longer
On the suggestion of Mr.. SchurInan,
president of the American commission,
the local Filipino peace party has start
ed newspaper. Maj. Hobbies expe-
dition to open communication with Gen.
Lawton has occupied Arayat, about
seven miles beyond Candaba, on the
Rio Grande, following the course of the
stream.
No insurgents were found there, and
the PanpanSaS along the river are
friendly. Last Friday Maj. Kobbe took
Santa Ana, about six miles northeast
of San Fernando, on the road to San
Inisdro. A priest met the expedition
with a white flag.
Delegations from San Nicolas and
Santiago, small villages, just south of
Arayat, came to him with the news that
200 insurgents who had been holding
both places, had withdrawn. They in
x-ifed tho Americans fo
the members of the expedition marched
in, the church bells were rung, and the
timid natives who had fed flocked
back

Martin Flaherty, undoubtedly one Of

Agreement Between
Founders and
Moulders.
STRIKERS ARE DECREASING.
E. B. Pierce Joins National
Founders Associa-
ton.

The union foundries believe they
have been buncoed.
The founders who conceded the de-
mands of the union, including the So
minimum day wage rate, say the fact
that they We're cajoled into it with
profit to the Moulders' Union is becom-
ing more apparent daily. The found
ers signed an agreement with the
Moulders' Union, establishing the min
imum rate of wages at SO per day for
a period of one year. The founders
are in duty bound to abide by the
agreement, despite the fact that Vice
President Joseph Valentine, a member
of the board of arbitration and national
officer Of the Iron Moulders' Union of
America, has assured the founders on
the board that a minimum wage rate
of $275 would be accepted by the
moulders.
The Holyoke Machine Co. case has
reached the point of discussion relating
to wage rate, and that will not be more
than $2,75 per day so it is evident that
the union founders will get the scum
of the strike. The founders who are
not entitled to arbitration privileges
will not yield to the Moulders Union
unless its wage rate is equivalent to
that fixed in tho Holyoke Machine Com
pany
1t has developed that the local union
oVerreached its power when a demand
for SO per day was made. They did
not have the backing of the national
organization which had fixed $2.75 as
q fair minimum day rate
BY insisting upon a SO per day wage
rate, the local union expected to have
some haggling over the price, and
would then cut off % cents and go
to work contented. Instead, five of
the founders conceded the full demands
of the union, and the six who have
been holding cut against the union will
profit in the end by it.
a meeting Of the mOulders involved
in the strike was held yesterday after
noon at labor headquarters. Vice Presi-
deuts Poach and Valentine had not re-
turned from Boston, and no business
was transacted. Ii was reported that
by the end OF the week the number of
unemployed moulders would be great
~ decreased. -Four of the men left
yesterday for New Haven and mould
crs are demanded in all the larger New
England cities.
Woods and Harrison, the men who
deserted the union to return to Rice,
Parton G Fales' foundry made vain
attempt yesterday tc induce some of the
strikers to return to work at that
place.
