sentiment and tragedy, will give its pa

WAS HEART FAILURE
Thought to Be Improving:
But Sank Rapidly.

Water Registrar George E. Batchel-
der died at his home. 8 Midland street,
about O'Clock yesterday morning. Mr..
Batchelder was taken sick about a week
ago, with a mild attack of pneumonia
which terminated in heart failure.
Death was wholly unexpected, and
coming at time when family and
physicians as well considered him on
the road to recovery, is a severe shock.
Saturday morning the attending physi-
clan considered Mr. Batchelder's con-
dttion sufficiently improved to admit
of his son, who has been with him
constantly during his illness, resuming
his duties in the postal service Satur-
day evening, however, it was noticed
that the sick man was worse. He failed
gradually until the end, early yesterday
morning.
Mr. Batchelder was one of the most
prominent and best known figures in

urbs of New York, and will remain
there about 10. days. Since Mr. Aborn's
financial troubles came to a crisis some
weeks ago, his health has
suffered, with the result that an abso-
Lutte change has been found necessary

precarious. DIR. S. B. Woodward, the
family physician, recommended the
!. trip, and Mrs. Aborn, who graciously
received a reporter last evening, said
that Mr.. Aborn, by recommendation of
his physician; had gone to New York
for his health.
Jeremiah H. Whalen, one of the OPP
orators at the Office of Mr.. Aborn, has
resigned to accept position with ]. r,
Robinson & Co., who are to occupy the

mains with Mr.. Aborn, and Manager

omy only one operator would be re-
tanned for the present. For two weeks

HANDSOME AMETHYST.
Ring That Deputy Chief Atkinson Has
From Woman Who Had No Money.


A fact unknown to a majority of
persons is that the heads Of the Wor-
cester police department are called on
to perform more acts of charity per-
haps than any other BODY of men in
the city of Worcester. All sorts of
charlty at that, from relieving the suf-
1erlng family to assisting itinerants
who either through long acquaintance
or some connection in the society Way,
Ieels justified in requesting the loan
OF quarter or half dollar, as the case
may be-
one Sunday afternoon, a few weeks
ago, woman came to police headquar-
ters, and, after locating the deputy
chief, asked him to assist her. The
story was that she and her husband
and three children were engaged in the
theatrical business. and were stranded
in this city. She wished to raise money
enough to pay the fares of the family
to Springfield.
Deputy Chief Atkinson and Inspec-
tors O'Day and Stone went down in
their pockets and made up a purse of
81, which was sufficient to provide for
The immediate wants of the family.
The woman appeared sincere in her
thanks and slipped a handsome anne
thySt and pearl set ring from her fin
ger, which she insisted the officers
should keep as security until she was
able to send them the money.
This was nearly three months ago,
but nothing has been heard of the wo-
man since that time. The ring is
marked Fred to Nellie and is worth
three times the amount loaned ON it.
The ring will be kept by Deputy Chief
Atkinson until the owner claims 1t or
sends word as to where it may be
sent

Worcester Boy of 9TH Regi
ment Writes From There.

Charles L. Bennett of 60 Mill street
has just received a letter from his son
George E. Bennett of Company M.
Fifth United States volunteers, who is
at present stationed at Santiago dc GU
ba.
Bennett enlisted under Lieut.. Anglum
last summer in this city, together with
a friend, Theodore Knight. He writes
that all the members of the company
are in excellent health. The weather
mas been exceedingly warm, with a
Stlflng atmosphere. He SAYS that the
government expects to have some diff
Guilty with the Cubans, and that expedi
lions are to be sent to all parts of the
island in search of any Spanish SOL
dlers that may have been Overloaded
at the time of deportation.
He has found most of the graves ~

regiment, among them that of Mayo of
company n, who went out from this

Just visited the camp. Bennett saws
that he Is to receive his discharge with

His impressions of Santiago are anv-
tnlng out pleasant The streets, he at
firms are about ten feet in width and
look more like flights of stairs than car

thinks 1t must have been the last Mace

The price of necessaries and Iuxurfes
Is still high. milk selling for a dollar
a gallon. Fruits are reasonable. Or
anges and bananas are three for five
cents. and good cigars at two cents
apiece are cheaper than pipe tobacco,
The company had more trouble with
insects and bugs, flies and mosquitoes,
snakes and lizards, than with the native
Cubans. There is no curfew in force
at Santiago. but the men are obliged
to 81 fine. which is doubled at each each
repetition.
Bennett will remain at Santiago. AL

PENNY SAVINGS.
Chicago School Children Deposit Their
Earnings With Their Teachers.

The Chicago Penny Savings Society
as in operation in the public schools of
that city, has attracted the attention
of some of the teachers and others in
terested in educational affairs in Wor-
cester.
The idea Of the whole thing is of
course to teach the pupils to save the
small sums that might otherwise be
spent for things that would do them nc
material good In fact the teacher
conducts a savings bank on a small
scale, and keeps track of the deposits
of each of the pupils. In some cases
attractively colored stamps are given
out to be pasted in the books, showing
an equivalent to the sum on deposit
Another point TO be considered is to
encourage the spirit of saving without
breeding a miser-like instinct. With
this idea in view, the children are
taught to save for some worthy object
rather than to horde for the sake OF
hording.

Latest Clock Lighting Scheme Would

Supervisor of Wires Henry A. Knight

as providing satisfactory means OF
Illuminating the face of the city hal

ly confidential. and provides for a

time. which shall be focused at such
angles as to throw the rays of light or
to powerful reflectors situated at the
north and south sides of the city hall

to the face of the clock
This plan, however, provides fol-
lighting but three sides of the tower
and the geometrical problems involved
in directing the searchlights at proper
angles, so that they will do the work
