August Morris will spend the next
eight months in Jail, as the result of two
charges against him in the central dis
trict court, yesterday morning. Morris

gagged a room from Mrs. Agatha Sill
berg, rs Sigel street. In the afternoon
she went up town to shop, leaving him
in his room reading q Bible. When she
returned Morris had departed. So had
$40 gold watch, an overcoat, suit of
clothes and other articles of wearing
apparel, belonging to her husband.
Morris was arrested in pawnshop. The
watch was found on him. He was
charged with larceny and drunkenness,
and got four months on each COM
plaint

SECRETARY LONG.

Secretary Long said in part: 1.-THE
treaty of, peace with Spain, thank heav-
en-, has been ratified. And while, I'M
fortunately, the delay in its ratification
may be accountable for the recent
bloodshed at Manila, the discussions
which preceded it have not been with
out their value.
1T is certainly cause for congratula-
ton that extreme imperialists who re-
sisted the treaty, have been signaily
overthrown. l have been struck with
the various methods in which this sub
Ject OF the Philippines has been dis
cusssd. One of these methods may be
styled as the oratorical declamatory,
Under this head comes the stirring cry
which never fails to capsfvate the pop
ular ear. that wherever the flag has
once been let loose, there it must al
ways float.
"On the other hand, is the equally
eXtravagant talk about the greed OF
conquest and the reduction of the Fill
Pine to the wretChed condition of vas
salage and slavery. Those who indulge
in this exuberancy of rhetoric lV4set
that our war was with Spain and that
we have simply transferred to the
United States, as the result of our vic
tory, the sovereignty which Spain had
over the Philippines.
This transfer was incidentally much
in the interest OF the islanders, and II
relieved them from a yoke under which
they groaned, giving them the fairest
promise on which the1r eyes ever
opened-a promise which the American
people will redeem.
THE second method of discussion
may be called the judicial elaboration
Here, too, on the one hand are those
of whom the most distinguished is, per-
haps, our revered Governor Boutwell,
who, I sometimes think, is the noblest
Roman of US all. His objections are
weighty and entitled to the most de-
liberate consideration. But, on the
other hand is the view held, 1 think
by the great majority of our people
that we cannot thus easily, having
once put our hands to the pillow, look
back. 1 most heartily wish it had never
confronted us. Meantime, our duty Is
to meet the responsibility that is upon
it. For one, trust with all my heart
that the result of our new relations
with the Philippines may be to aid
them to the requirement Of the COM
fort, happiness and benefactions of our
| civilization"

Il have no light or knowledge not

to me, but I cannot bound my vision
by the blood-stained trenches around

from the veins of an American soldier

To Rosenthal For Personal
Injuries.

The largest verdict ever returned in
a case for personal injuries in the
Worcester county courts was returned
in the suit of Herman Rosenthal of
Gardner against William and Joseph
Move, both of that town, in an action
to recover for injuries received through
being kicked by horse. the amount
being $500.
The case was one of the most inter
esting tried at the December sitting of
the superior court, before Judge Gas
kill. 1t had occupied several days in
the submission of evidence and was
given to the jury at o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon, and at 10 o'clock the
jury, which had been in charge OF
Deputy Sheriff Jacobs, reached an
agreement. The verdict was sealed and
read at the opening of the court yes
! terday morning.
The circumstances by which the in
juries were received are very unusual
! In October, 1897, the plaintiff, who is
/ a young boy, was enjoyed by the de-
PENDANTS, who are brothers, and was
| told to feed the horse in the STALL This
the boy did. The horse kicked him,
breaking out one-third of the skull.
section of the skull as large as a hand
had to be removed from the boys head
The spot is very sensitive to the cold
and the boy carries a piece of leather
| in his hat to protect it. The horse is
vicious and has enjoyed the reputa-
ton of being vicious and prone to kick
throughout the neighborhood.
This was the last jury case of the
term, and at the close Judge Gaskill
dismissed the jury No exceptions
were taken during the trial of the case
and the verdict will probably stand

WORCESTER DELEGATION.

There was of course a large delega-

were accompanied by ladies'. Among
the Giners were c. Henry Hutchins,

this alternative was utterly impossible
without the most serious foreign COM
plicauonS. The only actual choice was
between keeping khe islands ourselves
and restoring them to Spain, and re-
storation would be barbarous. We
were not out for territory, trade or en-
pire, but in every dispatch sent to
Dewey or Otis, the welfare of the Fill
pinos had been placed next to the hon
or OF our own nation and the success of
our arms.
The president created a tremendous
sensation by the remark that it was
not necessary to obtain the consent of
the natives to our plans for doing them
GOOD. Nobody's consent was necessary.
Furthermore, even If it were necessary,
There was no practicable way by which
that consent may be obtained
FINALLY, the president said that he
knew Of nobody who is wise enough
now to say what form Of government
is best suited for the Filiplnos. Time
Will be needed to develop this. The
president mentioned no names, but he
combatted the arguments of Senator
Hoar and his sympathizers with much
Vlgor. He spoke from carefully writ
ten manuscript. His earneStness was
almost painful, and his delivery was
Impressive and sometimes even dra-
matte. He certainly carried the people
speaking, his manner changed so COM
pletely as to suggest that q great bur-
den had been lifted from him. At
the close, there was another demon
stration of handkar2hiefs and cheers.
Postmaster General Charles Emory
Smith of Philadelphia, who has an
excellent reputation as an orator, was
less interesting than usual. He eulo-
glZed the president and argued the ne
cessity of commercial expansion as the
complement to industrial development
Secretary Long spoke chiefly in a
facetious vein.
No other member of the cabinet was
called upon. Secretary Alger, whose
experiences in Boston during the day
have not been wholly agreeable or free
from mjschievous taunts, will look for
his vindication at the annual meeting
of the Massachusetts .. A. r. tomor-
row.
The dinner arrangements were eX-
Ceedingly well executed The dining
and speaking began IN time. The semi
military organization of the walters
proved to be surprisingly efficient, and
the crowd was handled with great
skill.
The presidents waiter was a cOlored
quartermaster sergeant of "a Massachu-
sets regiment that went Nto Cuba. In
serving the filet of beef to Secretary
Alger, he boosted afterward that he
made no allusion to the 'embalming'
process.

PECULIAR POISONS
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN CODY
The Result of Imperfect Digestion of
Food.

me hesuit OF imperfect DiSestiOh Oh
Food.
Every living thing, plant or animal, con-
tains within itself the germs of certain
decay and death.
In the human body these germs of dis
ease and death Called by scientists pto-
maines), are usually the result of imper-
feet digestion OF food, the result of indi-
gestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly digest
the food. The result is a heavy, sodden
mass, which ferments the first process
of decay, poisoning the blood. making it
thin, weak and lacking in red corpuscles;
poisoning the brain, causing headaches
and pain in the eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart, cai1s-
ing palpitation and finally bringing on
disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal, and
weak digestion shows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion
The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life is sound
stomach Weak stomachs fail to digest
food properly, because they lack the pro-
per quantity of digestive acids Qactic and
hydrochloric) and peptogenic products;
the most sensible remedy in all cases of
indigestion is to take after each meal one
or two of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, be-
cause they supply in a pleasant, harmless
form all the elements that weak stomachs
lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, a bright eye and clear COM
plexion, because all tnese result only
from wholesome food well digested.
