The AsnOStiC.

/ DO not know where heaven NAV be
When parted from the girl love.
There's naught about thaSs sweet TO see
And the dun clouds hang low above.
When she love is far from me.
1 do not know where heaven may be.
To solve the nystery OF life
In vain try when she's away.
Then these few years Of wrong and
strife
Seem useless, and the fiinty way
We tread, with tears and gloom, is rife.
When she's away, what use is lifeP
But when I'm with her. .hen I know
That heaven is shining in her eyes;
That life is given me to go.
Holding the little hand / prize.
Life's purpose, then, Is plain to me,
Nor do doubt where heaven may be.

that OF the 366 bodies brought from
Cuba and Porto Rico and buried in
Arlington Cemetery, yesterday. after
an impressive military funeral, 0l were
unidentified. What sort OF munage-
ment must there have been when 25
per cent OF the men who died or were
killed oyer there were buried without
being marked in some way for future
Identification ? IL must have been
every bit as loose as that which had
TO do with feeding the living. IL was

THIRTY SIGN THE CHARTER.

A union of Swedish machinists was
organized in labor headquarters last
evening. John j. Connolly of Chicago,
organizer of the International Associa-
ton of Machinists, addressed Go en-
ployees of local machine shops upon the
principles Of organization. Thirty

another meeting will be held Monday
evening A membership committee was
appointed. end there will be a hustling
canvass for members until the char
ter closes at the end of thirty days.
There was an election of officers last
evening, but no names will be given
the public until the union is working
upon firm basis.
Organizer John j. Connolly said last
night that if a third union can be
formed in one of the county towns,
the unions viii comprise a district, with
headquarters in this city. There are
% members Of the original local union
who are eligible for membership in the
new union, but they win not with
draw
To-Day Organizer Connolly will go to
Fitchburg, where an effort to form a
local union will be made. He will
return the latter part of the week, and

union, Monday evening.

The town meeting requested by mem

a fair way to become a reality. The
city solicitor has rendered an opinion
that the board of aldermen is the pro-
per body to call a meeting under the
provisions Of section of the city char

DEMOCRATIC POLITICS.

Temperance men in ward We're
Questioning very unfavorably last
night, the reported enlistment, by Peter
f. Sullivan in his fight for the legisla-
ture in ward 9, of Daniel Donahue, a
Dungarven hill liquor dealer. Mr.. Sui
Ivan is a member of the st. Anne's
Temperance society.
Mclaughlin money is flashing all over
the ward. Some are willing to give
odds of two to one on Mr. Mclaughlin.
James &. Ryan, candidate for the leg
islature in ward 5, said yesterday that
there is no truth in the story that he
intends to try for the board of alder
men in the event of a defeat at the
hands of Mr.. Hagberg, his republican
legislative opponent. Mr.. Ryan, how
ever, expects to win over Mr.. Hagberg.
There is talk of forming q democratic
naturalization club in Worcester, large
ly under the guidance of the democratic
city committee, for the purpose of in
ducing men that would naturally drift
toward the democracy to take out citiz-
enship papers.

The petitions Of the Consolidated
Street Railway company to amend The
DEGREES for tracks in haywood street
and Southbridge street, by striking out
certain clauses relative to charge for
regarding the streets, were referred to
the city engineer, to furnish an Csti-
mate Of cost involved, with instructions
to report at the next meeting.
The commissioner sent in a commune

ficials Of the Consolidated Stree, Rail

Jr, as chairman The rigidity of the
chairman in keeping speakers within
the limits of a discussion on the eight
hour law, will have much to do with
the Importance of the meeting from a
labor unionist's point of view.
Primarily the meeting was advocated
because it will give local leaders an OPP
portunity to SHOW up the aldermen
who voted to down the bill calling for a
vote on the eight-hour day. Since pol
itics have crept into the local unions,
the meeting will be a boom or a death
blow to the candidates for municipal
office, whose candidacy will be under
labor union auspices.
Last night President D. F. Coogan of
the Workingmens Independent
Political club issued public
call for a meeting of the club
tomorrow evening in Labor head
quarters. Candidates for the common
council will be selected from each ward,
and an effort will be made to centre the
interests of the club in electing a labor
union candidate for the board of alder
men. J. D. Pierce will be Endorsed, and
his candidacy will probably be formal
ly announced when the sentiment of
the voting public has been sounded.

hearing was granted F. a. Mcclure
on his petition relative to the laying out
of Stearns square. Mr.. Mcclure ex-
planned what is contemplated in the
change of location Of Southbridge and
College streets and beautifyiug the
square, and exhibited plans showing To-
cation of the streets according to
changes contemplated
1t was explained that a tract Of land
formerly owned by the Holy Cross col
lege estate, including about 2000 feet,
mas been used by the city for many
years and will be included in the pro-
posed changes. Rev. John f. Lehy, S.
j., president of Holy Cross college, ex-
planned that while he was not aware
of any conveyance to the city, it had
been a tradition at the college that the
land was given to the city on condition
that a row OF elm trees should not be
cut down.
Another peculiar condition Of affairs
existing ia the neig9lborhood is that
Merritt z. Bradley owns several build
tngs, one large tenement house, which
stands on land owned by the city. Ac-
cording to the plans for relocation of
College street, the tenement block will
be cut IN two by the street line, while
ether buildings stand entirely on the
city land. Mr.. Bradley would like to
purchase sufficient land of the city to
insure a location for the larger build
ing, but members of the board incline
to the belief that the city needs all the
land
Later in the evening Alderman Car
berry introduced an order, which was
adopted, that the city engineer be in
structed to prepare a decree providing
for the proposed changes at Stearns
square, to conform with the plans on
file in the office of the city engineer.
A communication was read from the
city engineer and street commissioner,
stating that they have conferred with
officials of the Boston and Albany rail-
road and found that the company will
pay $500 Of the cost of building bridge
over the tracks in Marlboro. The esti-
mated cost Of the bridge is $4,000. The
communication was placed on file.
After several amendments, the list of
election officers was confirmed with the
exception of one or two changes which
will lay over until the next meeting
under the rules. Hugh O'Rourke, Jr.,
of IL Dorrances street, who was appoint
ed deputy inspector in ward 5, precinct
8, was appointed inspector in place of
Thomas L. Dowd Of 443 Millbury street,
who resigned and was made deputy in
