OCTOBER MARRIAGES.
List of Licenses Issued During Month
by County Clerk CARROT.

Thirty-two marriage licenses were is
sued by County Clerk Garriott during
the month of October, which number
is little over the average, aud en-
braces people who are old enough to
know better, as well as minors who
must get the consent of their parents
in the step. 1t is not generally known
but it is fact that minor must have
the sworn consent of both his father
and mother, if both are living, to his
marriage, and a lack of knowledge of
this fact has resulted in more than one
crestfallen swain making trip of a
dozen miles to get the necessary con-
sent. The names of parties to whom
licenses have been issued during the
month are as follows:

Rev. pr. William r. Huntington,
rector of Grace church. New York, and
formerly rector of All Saints church
was the preacher of the evening. AS
he ascended the pulpit and began his
address the older members of the
church were recalled to the time when
he was regularly in that place and his
voice rang through the arches with
strange familiarity.

1t is a matter of extreme qualification
to me, who saw the birth of the
Woman's Missionary Society of All

its infancy saw its youth and Adde'S

occasion of its becoming of age and
reaching the stature Of maturity.
Although the occasion presents a
temptation to remiHiscing and to offer
flattering congratulations, you reason
ably have a right TO expect something
more from me. When I recall the com
paratively short duration of the aver
age pastorship and remember that the
life of many societies is of much briefer

MORTIFIED EXTENSION.
Mr.. Moody's Latest Project For Wider
Dissemination of Bible Teaching

Mortified, as a centre for Christian
education and training, is certainly
alive to every new method of work. The
latest development in this line is a sort
of Mortified extension" for the wider
dissemination of the Bible teaching for
which the place stands. For some time
Mr. Moody has been strengthening the
courses of Bible study in the Mortified
schools, and mis- purpose, as expressed
in his own words, is ito have a good
teacher give a Bible lecture at North
field every day in the year"
The extension" work itself began in
the winter of 1897 when the Rev. F.
B. Meyer of London came to America at
Mr.. Moody invitation, to give series
of addresses to Christians, on THE de-
velopment of the spiritual life" Meet
ings were held in Boston, New York
and Philadelphia, which proved of
great helpfulness. At once there were
invitations for similar meetings in
other large cities which could not be
accepted till the next season. During
the winter of 1898, however, Mr. Meyer
was able to devote about six weeks to
visiting cities that he could not visit
" 1ore. These meetings were inVaria-
bly, well attended and followed by
marked results.
This fall no less able successor has
been found for this work in Rev. G.
Campbell Morgan of London, who has
been one of the principal teachers at
Mortified for three years. Although a
much younger man than Mr.. Meyer,
and not so widely known in America,
Mr.. Morgan is a no less able teacher
and one of the strongest preachers IN
London. He is to devote the months of
August, September and October giving
addresses, on similar lines to those
given at the Mortified Bible school in
some of the leading cities. The arrange
ments for these missions are in charge
! Of W. R. Moody, East Mortified, Mass,
and are to be completed in the near
future, when an itenerary of Mr. Nor
gan's trip vii be published.

HAD BETTER LOOK OUT.
Genuine Surprise for the Thief If He
Visits North Pond Again.

At sportsmens Club park, yester-
day afternoon, the shoot of the club
called out poor attendance, only a
half dozen shooters taking part in the
program. The regular slate was brok-
en- before the shoot was fairly started
owing to scarcity of ammunition.
During the past week the clubhouse
was entered and everything available
was stolen, including several hundred
cartridges. These breaks have become
matter of common occurrence at the
club traps, and abundant evidence is
found to make Secretary Walls believe
the breaks are the work of the same
thief. Active measures will be taken
to arrest and punish the offender. and
II this does not meet with success the
next visitor will be sorry he ever saw
North pond. A genuine surprise will
await him as he enters
The shoot for the trophy cup was the
only event run off and this resulted in
a win for FOrehand with II killed in a
l5-bird race. Parker and Forehand
who 'have each won the cup once, will
shoot off for final possession at the next
shoot.

MISS RUsr's SCHOOL.
Graduating Exercises Held Last Night
Or. Gunnlson Speaks.


The graduating exercises at Miss An
ME C. Rusts Froebel school of the kin
dergarten normal class, last night at
tracted a large attendance of friends
of the graduates and persons interested
in kindergarten work in Worcester.
The young ladies who received their
diplomas We're Miss Annie Wilkinson,
Miss Edna Knowles, Miss May Nor
rell, Miss Picnic Dugar and Miss Win
fired White, and the exercises for the
evening, with the exception of an ad-
dress by Rev. DIR. Almon Gunnison,
were given entirely by the graduates
and Miss Rust.
The floral decorations of the room
where the graduation exercises took
place consisted of laurel and daisies
and were prettily arranged, and the
main staircase was entwined with lau-
rel and daisies. The exercises were
in charge of Miss Rust, who presented
the diplomas to the graduates and ex-
planned the doings and aims of the
school.
DR.. Gunnison's address was also on
kindergarten school work, which he
eulogized as one of the best features of
the first education of children. He
said in part:
The work done by teachers through
out the world is worthy of much notice
and in Edinburgh, the capital city of
Scotland, the residents of the munich
pality nave erected monuments in the
large squares of the city to the mem
Dry of its educators who have toiled
year in and year out with the young
element
1t seems as though I would like to
have been brought into this world
century later that 1 might have bene
flied by the kindergarten system. 1t
teaches a child to see things, and at
the same time think. In my travels
which have brought me in contact with
some Of the greatest architectural
feats in the history of the world, have
noticed that scores of people who live
in the very shadows of these great Gre
ations, fall to even realize their great
ness.
With a teacher to point out the
wonderful features they would begin
to think and see that they are living
where great men once toiled. In the
kindergarten, a teacher takes hold of
the child and give it its first educa-
ton. In shaping the minds of the
children, the kindergarten teacher
shapes its future road through life. 1t
lies a good deal with a kindergarten
teacher to mould out a lifH for a child,
and as it plods on thro Q life, it is
governed by its early teauAlngs
A teacher should have as the first
essentially feature love, and if she
lacks this, she is much out of place.
DR.. Gunnison clcocsed his address by
congratulating the graduates on the life
they had chosen, and hoped their fu-
ture would prove as satisfactory to
them as their intention.
At the close of the exercises, Miss
Rust held a reception. The exercises
by the graduates consisted mostly of
songs and other features of lxindergar-
ten work, and proved to be interest
ing.

arohdeaconry Of Worcester which is
the missionary organization of the
Episcopal church of this county, and
which was presided over by Ri Rev.
William Lawrence, bishop of the do
cese.
The services opened with morning
devotions at o'clock, conducted by
Rev. DR.. Alexander H. Vinton, rector
of the church. At 10. 80 o'clock there
munion by Bishop Lawrence, assisted
by Archdeacon Henry Hague, rector of
st. Matthews Church, Rev. DR.. Vinton
and Assistant Rector Charles Lancas-
ter Short of All Saints Church.
The morning sermon was by Bishop
Lawrence and was a mastery address
based upon the scripture as found in
them: Therefore, every scribe which
is instructed unto the kingdom of
heaven is like to man that is a house
holder which bringeth forth out of his
treasure things old and new
The speaker discussed at length the
modern tendency Of the churches to
depart from the old and adopt the new.
He spoke of the changes that have been
wrought during the century now clos
ing. A man in touch with the century
feels keenly the impulse to promulgate
new ideas and new thoughts. But the
same truths of the past made vital by
the experiences of the present are all
sufficient The real value of spiritual
work lies in the character of that work
and of The man.
At the conclusion Of the morning
service, delegates from out of town
and members of the archdeaconry were
rendered a reception at the residence
of Mrs. Edward L. Davis, Il Elm
street, The house was thrown open to
the guests and the rooms We're beauti-
fully decorated with red and white
roses and banks Of laurel. In the draw
ing room was a large table decorated
with a Drofusion Of scattered pink
roses and the dining room table was
similarly strewn with white roses. In
all the rooms lemonade was served
from tables Of flowers. Bartholome of
Boston served a dainty lunch to over
100 guests. DR.. Huntington, formerly
rector Of All Saints Church, was al
ways the centre of a group of his
former Pensioners, and the reception
was chiefly in his honor.
At 230 o'clock the archdeaconry met
in business session in the parish Ii
brary. The meeting was opened by the
venerable archdeacon, Rev. Henry
Hague. The secretary's report was
read by Henry NJ. Bigelow of Clinton
and Treasurer Charles NJ. Bent follow

historical addresses were made by
Bishop Lawrence, DIR. Huntington and
the rector of the church before az audi

The service was entirely in honor OF
the society and the work 1t has done
in the cause of missions. At the close
of the service an opportunity was CIV

The anniversary day closed with an
elaborate festival service at 40
o'clock than which no more beautiful
service was ever held in All Sairts'
church. The four choir boys of Wor-
cester's Episcopal churches united in a
