at right angles. The Columbia was unin-
jured and Immediately after caught her own
moorings. The Defender will go to Bristol

the lead. On the way over both vessels
lowered their main sails, and, rolling them
up, put on the sail covers. Then, under
jibs alone, the two boats sailed slowly into
their mornings. Defender, being ahead,
caught her moorings list, and when CO.
lumbia came along Defender was lying
quietly with everything made snug. Column
bia was rolling along at slow speed, and,
as her moorings are further inshore, she

just astern Of the Defender the port top

FUNSTON IN POLITICS.

A new luminary has appeared in the
western political sky, in the shape of
Gen. Funston. That he will be hon
ored in some way politically, if he sur
wives the next campaign in the Philip
pines, seems assured, but there seems
to be some uncertainty what form the
political preferment will take. He is
already counted as one of the coming
men in politics by the leaders, and it
is said that his return to the Philippines
has been brought about by politicians
who want him out of the way If his
next record on the firing line is as good
as his past one, instead of getting him
out of the way, they will find that it
has put him very much in the way of
political preferment. Funston has lik-
ing for the United States Senate, and
it is thought that his return to the Phil
ippines will insure his election to sue
coed Senator Baker. Wars make po-
litical leaders as well as soldiers Fun
ston was unknown outside his own state
when the war broke out, but now he is
but little less known than Dewey.

RUBENA HYDE WALW0RTH.

The first monument in honor of a
woman nurse who gave up her life in
the Spanish war has just been erected
in Saratoga by the Daughters of the
American Revolution. 1t commemo-
rates the heroic nobility and self-sacri-
flee of one of Gods own gentlewomen.
1t tells the almost unexampled story
attending the services of Rubena Hyde
Walworth of Saratoga. She was not
unknown to many Massachusetts boys
who suffered from wounds or fever and
who join now in mourning her loss and
in doing honor to her memory. She was
graduated at Vassar with the highest
honors, only a few years ago, the
daughter of a family which served it's
country In peace and in war with honor
and distinction. Imbued with the
patriotism and heroism of her race she
felt at the outbreak of the Spanish war
that if there We're none of the members
of her family left to shoulder a musket
in defense of country, she at least could
enlist as a nurse. The story of her
services will always be a prominent
part of the history of the war, and
with many Worcester and Worcester
county boys the reverence they bear
her memory can end only with life
itself

BRADFORD SPEAKS.

Brooklyn has seen and heard CANA
liel Bradford of Boston. Sunday after
noon there was a meeting of the Brook
Ign Philosophical association, and
Bradford made an address that was
filled with treason and trash, and
brought severe denunciation from the
floor. The New York Sun thus de-
scribes the Boston Squaw man: Mr.,
Bradford is a very small and slender
man, about 60 years of age. He is bald,
has a close cut beard, a smoothly
shaver upper lip and little bits of eyes.
He wore a frock coat, turn down col
lar a black necktie and a benevolent
smile He is oppressively pious and
showed an extreme fondness for scrip
turaI quotations"
Bradford denounced the president in
many forms of speech, the republican
party and the newspapers. He called
the president bankrupt, a man who
had endorsed notes beyond his own
means. and a liar. He sneered at the
American flag and quoted scripture
with fluency
The meeting was not altogether har-
monious or with the speaker. Some Of
the opposition gained the floor and
pitched into Bradford hammer and
tongs. AS the meeting closed, one of
his opponents remarked that he was
glad that the American flag was not
displayed, for that would have been
more than they could stand. The flag
incident at Chicago has impressed peo-
pie as nothing else has. The woman
who told the anti-expansionists to take
down the flag they had insulted, sent
a wave of Indignation across the coun-

A PREDICTION.

The following scare editorial in the
New York Journal yesterday indicates
no ordinary trouble in the democratic
national organization:
1.-THE Journal would like to risk pre-
diction. The democrats are going to be
numerically thrashed in Ohio. And they
are going to suffer their punishment BE-
cause they have abandoned the sound
democratic policy of expansion and have
stupidity allowed themselves to be put in
a position which no American party has
ever occupied without ruin--the position
of encouragement to armed resistance TO
the national government. Mr.. Mckinley
mas earheq bu feI his oononent 9"n mfsmam

morrow we shall see what they have ac-

WHAT HIS FRIENDS THINK
Cambridge Press Defends j. j. Myers
Candidate for Speaker.


Candidate for Speaker.
The Spy quoted freely last week
from the Haverhill Gazette on the mug
wump record of Mr.. Myers. His own
local paper, the Cambridge Press, re-
plies to 1t as follows:
The attack of the Haverhn Gazette
upon the republicanism of Representative
James j. Myers would be regarded as
silly but for the evident intent of the
writer to bolster up his specious argu-
ments by dlsregarding salient facts and
dlstorting others into what would be a
plausible tale for those who have no
dents.
1t is remarkable that in the long legis-
lative career of Mr.. Myers, who has been
chosen to the lower house for seven suc-
cesslYe years, and has served under three
speakers with hundreds of republicans
ana many democrats, in positions open to
the widest criticism, his republicanism
has never been suspected before
For eight or ten years, Mr.. Myers has
served as delegate in republican state
conventions, in which he nominated such
men as Attorney General Knowlton. Gov.
Wolcott as lieutenant governor and Sec
rotary Olin for secretary of state. How
Is II ne was not discovered to be lacking
in loyalty to republicanisn in these
great representative gatherings?
Mr., Myers has been a member and Off
Ger for years in such organizations as the
Republican club of Massachusetts Mid
dleseX club, Massachusetts club and the
Home Market club, whose members have
never been known to impugn his repub-
! licanism.
1t is simply absurd to base such a
charge upon the bare fact that he dined
and affiliated socially with certain club,
where he was never called upon but as a
! republican member and not as a mug
Wump in any sense
1t is curious that Mr.. Myers republi
can fellow-citizens of Cambridge who
have for SO many years given him their
suspicion of his laxity in support of re-.
publicanism and that this microbe re-
manned to be discovered by the Haverhiu
