inimitable entertainments in this city.
Miss Herford has not been heard in
her original monologue since she APP
peared under the auspices of the Col
lege club, a year ago last spring. At
that time Worcester people did
not know how delightful Miss Herford
was, and the audience was compare
lively small, considering the great
vogue Miss HEREFORD has met with in
other places, and the extraordinary
cleverness of her performance. 1t is
to have Miss HEREFORD here
early in November. A book for sub
scriptions has been placed at Putnam,
Davis & Co.'S, and if sufficient interest
is shown Worcester will have the pleas
ure of seeing and hearing her some
time in the first week in November.

1t is to be hoped that the friends of
the Worcester boys in the Forty-sixth
will not forget them at Christmas tide
in the far-off Philippines. They will APP
preciate any favors however small,
that may be sent to them. The secretary
of war has instructed the quartermas-
ter general to forward from New York
any Christmas boxes for officers and
soldiers at the Philippines that may be
delivered there prior to Nov /, such
boxes to be consigned to Maj. P. B.
Jones, general superintendent trans
pcrtation service, Columbia stores,
Brooklyn, N. Y. All boxes should be
plainly marked with the name of the
officer or soldier for whom they are in
tended, giving the company and regi-
ment or other organization to which he
belongs, and should be further marked
Christmas box" There should be no
perishable goods
At the regular monthly meeting of
the Public School Art league, which
was held yesterday afternoon, it was
suggested that there might be in many
households photographs and prints of
various kinds, which, while not suit
able for framing, might be arranged in
portfolios for use in schools. The
league will undertake to select and ar
range any such pictures which may be
given into their charge for that pur-
pose. Anything of this nature may be
directed to the Public School Art
League, and left at the Office of the
superintendent of schools, city hall. 1t
is, of course, understood that all pic
lures of whatever nature which are to
be placed permanently in our public
schools should be offered through the
league in order that so far as possible
nothing unsuitable shall be used in the
schools. Many interesting letters were
read at the meeting which had been
the pictures that have just been on ex-
hibition and are now sent to the
schools.
