HUNT WITHOUT DOGS
Worcester Delegates Will Not
Consent to Such Az Idea

The suggestion of delegates elected
by local sportsmen's organizations to
attend the meeting in. Boston Thurs
day, to consider means of protecting
game, that run together be held today
in the store of A. B. f. Kinney, A Front
street, was a good one, as later deYel-
opments have proved. Worcester
sportsmen have learned of probability
of hunting without a dog being sug-
gested as a means of preserving game
birds. Although the quick action of
Worcester sportsmen shows that they
are ardently in favor of some means Of
protecting game birds and thus In
creasing their number, they are hearth
ly opposed to the plan of hunting with
out dog, and If it is suggested at the
convention of sportsmen in Boston, the
Worcester delegates will oppose 1t Wig
orously.
That hunting without dogs would
accomplish the result is not open to
question. A good hunter without a
dog would have to content himself on
many occasions with a bird or two in
stead of from half dozen to a dozen,
as he can get now, even with game
birds as scarce as many sportsmen
claim. The average hunter would re-
turn without birds more often than
with them.
The sportsmen of this city do not
favor such condition. While they are
in favor of increasing game birds and
protecting them by almost any means
they are not in favor of such a meas
ure, for 1t would kill hunting.
The delegates at today's meeting will
probably decide to stand as a unit
against any such proposition

BELLlVEAU GOING WEST
Former Worcester Boxer viii
Follow the Ring

al Belliveau has been spending a few
days in this city, but leaves today for
Boston, where he will remain a few
weeks before going west fer long pc
riod. Belliveau has not resided in Wor-
cester for several months. He enjoyed
reputation here as an ex-
cellent amateur boxer, making several
good appearances in Boston. He later
went into the professional arena and
won signal victory over Jimmie Car
rell, who was at that ti-ep considered
met his Waterloo when he went against
Jack Lawler. The latter won in short
order against Belliveau.
Belliyeau intends to resume boxing
and it is principally on that account
that he is going west. He will follow
the ring as a business. He thinks he
ing against some of the lightweights
of the middle west He never regarded
his defeat by Lawler as any credit to
the latter, and never lost confidence in
his ability to whip Lawler Although
the poor showing the latter made
against Patsy Sweeney drove him from
the ring, those who fancied him in his
match with Belliveau woaidn't for a
moment think Belliveau had an even
chance against Lawler at any time.
They realize fighting Belliveau and
Sweeney are two entirely different
propositions and would regard it as
finding money by backing Lawler
against Belliveau even now. For Law

W0RKINGMEN'S RALLY
Candidate Pierce Makes His
Closing Campaign Speech

Enthusiasm ran rampant at the rally
of the Workingmen's club in labor
headquarters, last evening, when ]. D.
Pierce, candidate for alderman, pre-
dicted success, and cheers shook every
rafter in the building. AS a preliminary
to the meeting, small army of boys
paraded the streets with banners
marked Vote for ]. d. Pierce, labor
candidate for the board of aldermen"
and the same inscription, with an ad-
ditional reminder that John B. La
mothe of ward was in the fight for
school committee, was on others.
At the meeting ]. D. Pierce gave a
review of the incidents leading up to
the enactment of the eight-hour law
for national government employees, it's
courses in the state legislature, and
continued: 1.-THE aldermen We're the
high muck-a-mucks that we had to go
before in this city in order to have the
question made part of the official
ballot. We all know the right to vote
on question of vital concern was re-
fused US, but we all know that it mat
tiers not how much lawyers may at
tempt to mystify us, common sense and
the constitution are behind US.
An alderman who knows nothing
outside the four walls of his Main street
curiosity shop, is not capable Of ex-
pressing an honest, liberal opinion on
any subject
"Ten cities voted overwhelmingly in
favor of the eight-hour day last Tues
day. Men of all parties Joined in the
vote in favor of granting the shorter
work day to city employees. l do not
promise an overturning of the city hall
if l am elected, but act as a thorn in
the side of opponents of the wage
earning classes il elected.
Their tyrannical rulings of the al
dermanic chamber would not phase me,
and no party could claim me for their
tool The newspapers ignore us in
making predictions Of the election day
results. Six and possibly seven repub-
lican aldermen and two or three demo-
Gratis are said to be sure of election. 1
doubt this. Do your duty and we will
have a Representative" In the upper
branch of the city government.

w. F. Donovan, athletic director and
instructor of gymnastics at Worcester
academy, started the regular gym
nasium classes at the school yesterday
The juniors, sophomores and freshmen
were called out and organized for gym
nasium work during the winter. The
seniors and props will be called out
today. Mr.. Donovan has been waiting
for the finish of his measurements OF
students before calling out the boys
for instruction in the gymnasium. He
finished the measurements a few days
before the Thanksgiving recess. He
was delayed a trifie in that work by the
foot ball team, as the lads could not
spare time to pass through his hands.
He was also kept busy with the sec
ond eleven, keeping the men in condi-
ton to line up against the school team
every day.
The second Of the cross-country runs
of the students will take place Thurs
day. Like the one held last week. it
will be simply a practice run The
boys will not be allowed to compete
against each other. A slow pace will
be set and any of the students with the
least cross-country ability will be able
to stay until the finish. A week later
the last of the series will take place.
The last run will be a race.

Beers CHAMPION
Senator Mason Plays That Role
In the Senate With His Set
of Resolutions
SENATE VOTES TO
LAY THEM ON TABLE
Calls Chamberlain a Liliputian
Statesman Shaking in
GIadStone'S Shoes

Washington, Dec. 11.-Mr. Mason of
Illinois, in the Senate, today, called up
his resolution offered few days ago,
expressing the sympathy of the Senate
with the South African republics in
their war with Great Britain. His
speech was long and was delivered
with characteristic vehemence.
He was accorded careful attention
by his colleagues and by the gallery.
He maintained that under the Munroe
doctrine and presidents previously
established, the United States had the
right to extend it's sympathy and hopes
for success to the Beers in their strug-
gle for liberty, as it had to interfere
with Spain in it's conduct of affairs in
Cuba. He urged that the interest of
the United States was aroused by the
fact that the South African war was a
struggle between democracy and royal
ty, between the divine right of kings
and the divine right of man. If we
should speak and speak quickly it
would sting the politicians who brought
on the war for greed Of gold and cheer
the poor brave Dutch defender of his
home.
He cited a large number Of authori-
ties in support of his position. He de-
clared that the Liliputian statesman
rafting around in Gladstones shoes,
trying to undo his work and break his
promises, is deceiving no one, except
possibly himself.
Mr.. Mason addressed the Senate for
an hour and 25 minutes. He was not
once interrupted in the course of his
speech. AT the conclusion, Mr.. Lodge,
after expressing the wish that Mr.. Ma
son might have delivered his address in
the British parliament, said there was
wide gulf between private opinion
and public official expressions. The ex-
ecutive department of the government,
he said, had assumed a neutral attitude
towards the South African war, The
passage of this resolution by the SEN
ate would not change Immediately that
attitude. If we are to depart from the
position of neutrality" said Mr.. Lodge,
ut ought to be a subject of most Sc
rious consideration"
He moved, therefore, that the reso-
luton be sent to the committee on for
eign relations, and it was so ordered.

DENIES THE CHARGE
G. Alfred BuSby is Not Working
With Democrats in
Ward One

G. Alfred Busby, independent repub-
lican candidate for the common coun-
Gil from ward one, denies the story
that he is working in league with dem
ocrats in the ward to secure his cleo
ton. Mr.. Busby says the story is
absurd, and that the total democratic
strength in ward one is less than $50,
even if it. could be secured.
Mr.. Busby says he has taken his
present stand more from principle than
anything else, while the claim ad-
vanced by his friends is that they are
not satisfied, in spite of the decision
rendered at the hearing held in city
hall, that he should not have been CIV
en- the nomination.
Last night circular bearing the cap
ton, Vote for G. Alfred Busby'' was
issued to voters in ward one. The cir
cular states that Mr. Busby is reg
ular and bonafide resident of the ward
and that the men who signed his NOM
ination papers would not have done so
if they had believed Mr.. Busby honest
~ defeated in the republican caucus
on Nov q, 1899. The document is signed
by Miles R. Gordon, M. D., and Rev.
Hiram Conway, and bears in addition
the names of men who signed Mr.. Bus
by's nomination papers.

ASKS FOR THE PRICE
Manager SeIee Writes C. Maher
& Son Regarding the ShreWS-
bury Street Lot
THE BlGEL0W-MAHER
LAND MAY BE BOUGHT
Latest Request Adds Perplexity
to the Base Ball Situation
In the City

Another possibility in the matter of
base ball grounds for the Worcester
club next season has been suggested
by letter which C. Maher & Son, real
estate dealers in Walker building, have
received from Frank G. Selee, vice
president and principal owner of the
Worcesters. He has asked the real es-
tate agents the price of the grounds
on Shrewsbury street known as the
Bigelow- Maher lot.
This is the lot on which Mr.. Selee Sc
cured an option when he YVES last in
this city. 1t was for two weeks only,
and MI. Selee announced his intention
of returning to this city within that
time. He did not come, but he did
not allow his option to lapse. He wrote
the real estate agents, asking for a
renewal of the option, and secured IL.
The second period is indefinite, as Mr..
Selee simply said he would come to
Worcester this month.
His latest request only adds tc the
perplexity of the situation. That he
has some idea of purchasing the lots
can hardly be doubted, for Mr. Selee
bears good reputation as a business
man, and he certainly has something
definite in mind when he asks the fig
ures at which the real estate agents
will sell the land.
Mr.. Selee left Boston yesterday to at
tend the annual meeting of the Nation
al league, which will be held in New
York today. The persons interested in
the selection of a new site for the ball
park next season, look for him in this
city on his way back to Boston. He
is expected the last of the week, and
those who have had any dealings with
him on his former visits, expect he will
make his final decision when he comes.

WINTHRoPS LOSE AGAIN
Poor Bowling at Monsey's Alleys
Gossip of the BoWIerS

The Winthrop candlepin bowlers had a
golden opportunity to square accounts
with the Infants in ~the second match of
the series which was rolled last evening
at Monseys alleys, but weren't equal to
the occasion. The Infants rolled far be-
low their average on the home alleys, but
the Winthrops couldn't catch up. The
first match was rolled on the Winthrop
alleys and the Infants won by 81 pins. 1t
was expected by both teams last even
ing that the Infants would pile up
greater lead on their own alleys, but they
bowled in poor form. The rolling which
the Winthrops did wasn't strong enough
to be regarded as first class bowling
Only one of their number averaged 80,
which is the low mark for men of that
class. Not one of their team strings
reached the 400 mark. The Infants didn't
average much over 400. Two of the team
were below the average. The high man
of both teams got but 253 in three
strings. The score of the match was as
follows:

WiIbur-KirWin Opera

e The Wilbur-Kirwin opera company
opened weeks engagement at the
Worcester theatre last evening with a
good audience. The piece presented,
which will also be repeated Wednesday
afternoon, was the comic opera, Said
Pasha," in which there Is so much fun
and some pretty music. The company
is prepared to present this opera well,
and in the person of E. A. Clark it
has a typical Said Pasha, the Turk
ish diplomat, who spends most of his
time getting into trouble and dragging
other people with him. Miss Susie
Kirwin, as Serena, the pasha's daugh-
ter, was charming in the role, and her
singing Is very good. There are plenty
of pretty girls in the chorus, which has
been carefully selected with this idea
in view. Vaudeville Interruptions hap
pen every now and then, and some of
the members are very good. Baby
Beatrice made hit in her coon songs
and dances, and the "Old Glory Song
Sheet" sung by the company, is novel
idea. At the close Of each performance
Wilbur's high art living pictures are
given, which are arranged with care
and skill
The bill this afternoon will be 1.-THE
Two Vagabonds," Wilbur's version of
Erminie, and this evening Fra Diavo-
10" will be presented.
