HUNTS HAUL.
- DeaT and Dumb Man for
Disturbing the Peace.

disturbing the Heace.
At Station l, yesterday afternoon, a
group of policemen were swapping sto-
ries of old times on the force. A Bos-
we'll could write an, interesting book
out of some of the stpries told.
You fellows saw that story in The
Spy the other day about the deaf and
dumb oarsmen, of course" said one of
the officers Well that reminds me
of an incident in the career of James
Hunt, now councilman of the CITY of
Worcester, deputy sheriff, constable for
civil business, and representative to the
general court. Years ago Jim was a
member of the department and travelled
a beat.
We'll, one night there was row on
Front street, and Jim grabbed the first
fellow within reach and, despite his
gesticulations,A yanked him along, and
had him at ths police station, at that
time in the hayement of the old city
hall. Jim told the sergeant in. charge
that he wished to have the man booked
for disturbing thepeace, but when thew
came to book hin, it was discovered
that he was deaf and dumb. Jim in
sisted on having HIN locked up. how
ever, and next dayNthe prisoner was
duly arraignsd before the Judge
THE humor of theNsituatton struck
everybody, including hs honor. and the
laugh was on Jim. ENen to This dav
he is pretty touchy in regard to this
incident. and references[to deaf and
dumb men raising a row, Slways strike
him as having a personal appIication
and he is apt to look embarrassed. >

MURPHY LIKES 1T.
Life of Cadet on the Training Ship
Enterprise.

Eugene Murphy, cadet on the train
ing ship Enterprise who has been home
on IS hours furlough, rejoins his ship
at Marblehead tomorrow, whence she
sails for Halifax N. S.
Cadet Murphy was around the city
yesterday, accompanied by his uncle,
DR.. John H. Sullivan, and not only re-
newed number of old acquaintance,
but attracted general attention by
reason of his true sailor-like bearing.
In his natty uniform he looked every
inch the naval cadet.
Although he has been with the En-
terprise but two months, young Muir
ply is enthusiastic over the life, and
says that all stories Of discontentment
among the boys are purely sensational
fiction. There may be some sore heads
among the crew, but he is not one Of
them, He speaks in the highest terms
of his superior officers, and nothing
could induce him to seek change.
Some people are under the impression
that Enterprise cadets are being fitted
for positions such as the naval cadets
of Annapolis fill after their graduation
but this is not so. The Enterprise ca
diets are trained to become gunners. en-
glneers ana TO nold other positions filled
by warrant officers generally.
Yet although they may not look for
ward to the day when they will walk
the quarterback and become Nelson's
and Deweys, the position of warrant
officer in the navy is well worth striv
ing for, and young men are constantly
on the lookout for appointments as ca
diets on the training ship.
Young Murphy loves the sea and the
opportunities to see the world give the
ship.

Died Sunday After a Long llIness-a
Prominent Citizen.


Prominent Citizen.
Parker G. Skinner of this city died at
6l5 Sunday morning of hemorrhages
of the brain, after a long illness, aged
"a years
He never fully recovered from the at
tack of la grippe which he had four
years ago, and which caused him to re-
tire from active business. He was long
a resident Of this city, and for the past
IS years was the successful and genial
manager of the Great Atlantic and Pa
cific Tea Company. Many friends
throughout the city and county of Wor-
oester will learn of his death with sad
ness. For all of them he always had
a pleasant word of greeting He had
only returned from Falmouth few
weeks ago, where he was taken to see
if the change would not benefit him,
as it had in former years But it was
only temporary, as his age and feeble
health proved.
He was born in Windsor, VT, and was
the oldest son of the late Gen. John P.
Skinner, one of the old families of Ver-
mont, where he had passed most of his
life. He was engaged with his father
in filling government contracts for stag

FATHER MATHEW.
To Celebrate 5Oth
Anniversary Of His
Coming.
GREAT DEMONSTRATION.
Will Be Observed In
Worcester In
November.
GREAT DEMONSTRATION.

At a meeting of the Father Mathew
Society yesterday afternoon it was vot-
ed to accept the report and adopt the
recommendations of the board of trus-
tees in regard to the fitting UP of a
cottage in the rear of the hall for the
use of the janitor. The present quar-
tiers of the janitor in the main building
are to be fitted up for the ladies' aux
Hilary. This will give the society more
room and greatly facilitate the work
of the ladies who have become a pow
erfuI aid to the society in advancing
its special work of temperance reform
The cottage property was acquired
some time ago but the project of fitting
it up into quarters for the janitor has
J been delayed, owing to the reluctance
? of some of the members to vote the
u necessary money to do the work The
! need of the improvements, however,
appealed strongly to the majority OF
the members and the vote yesterday
was practically unanimous
There will be a meeting of the trus-
tees tomorrow night and full consider
alton will be given to contemplated
improvements as we'll as action taken
on the letting out of contracts to dc
the ordered work. The ladies are
highly pleased with the action taken
yesterday and are already talking over
plans for the fitting UP of their rooms
once they are vacated by Mr.. O. Hara S
family.
The society from time to time has
considered plans for the celebration OF
the 50th anniversary of the coming OF
Father Mathew, the apostle of tenn
perance, to Worcester, and it is prob
able that next week the executive COM
mittee will have a meeting at which
progress will be reported and further
plans discussed The celebration takes
place in November.
The Spy man was told yesterday that
this event will be the greatest celebra-
ton Of the kind ever held in the state
and it will not only be a demonstra-
ton in honor of Father Mathew, but a
demonstration in favor of total absti-
nenee in general President Goggin is
heart and soul in this product, and he
has the able cooperation of every
member Of the society.
There are a few old men in the or
ganfzation whose proudest boast is the
fact that they received the pledge from
Father Mathew himself and that they
have been faithful and steadfast to this
day.
Among the relics left by the late
John Madigan was a large quantity OF
medals given him by Father Mathew
hut they are SO. large that but few Of
them. are openly worn by members
This was always q great disappoint
ment to Mr.. Madigan and unable tt

HIGH SCHOOL ITEMS.

The program to have been given
this evening has been postponed un-
til next Friday evening,
The botany class has made some
very interesting discoveries, so they
say, although they have only been at
work a week.
One more week in algebra and then
the Middles will begin geometry.
They have many grave fears for geo.
metry, but these are more than bal
anced by the present ones for algebra.
All three of the Latin classes are do
ing very heavy work. The Middles
are taking nearly as much 'de GalligO
bellum" at one lesson as the Seniors
are of Cicero.
The constitution class as a majority
has not had a lesson yet. That is an
excellent weeks beginning.
An athletic association has been
formed by the High school boys. Miss
Ellis says: Anything that strength
ems and develops the body also devel-
ops the mind" They are working on
that plan.
