The entertainment given by the pu-
pills of Dist: No. SIS last Friday night
was a grand success, as far as we can
judge by outward appearances. Quite
u few visitors came whose presence
encouraged US a good deal The pu-
pills enjoyed their little Christmas tree
q good deal. Christmas is the time
when the little tots enjoy themselves
the most, especially if they know
something about the greatest and
most glorious gift of all.
Mr.. Sam Nelson and family were
agreeably surprised by the members
OF the Sveas congregation, Saturday
Dec. Is. The sum of money received
amounted to $46.25, We hereby ex-
tend our heartfelt thanks to all givers.
The day was pleasantly spent in friend.

Wednesday, Dec. %, at 6 O'Clock p.

ings of the widows and orphans of the
patriotic Beers which are being killed
by the British armies in South Africa.
The people of our county have often
responded to calls of distress, where
famine and plague have ragged in for
eign lands, and we know that if but
someone in each locality takes. the
lead, a handsome contribution could
quickly be gathered for this worthy
cause. The TRIBUNE will gladly give

Editor Wharton says that beca use
the TRIBUNE publishes Canfeld's St..
Paul letter, dated and signed, each
week it's editor depends upon po-
litical party to make his political
opinions for him, also that this letter
is furnished because pop editors are
generally deficient in their upper
story. The reason he makes this
statement obviously is because he con-
founds the nature of this weekly bud
get Of political news, gathered at the
state capital and written from the
standpoint of the reform political for
ces, with the purpose of the weekly
mess he prints as coming from spe-
cial representative of the Argus. Is
it not strange that this special Argus
matter appears in one republican
paper in each town in the state, In
some cases before it is published in
the Argus? Mr.. Wharton may rest
assured of one thing in regard to the
TR1BUNE, VIZ, that no banker nor
doctor can secure the privilege of us

The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-07-26

The reciprocity treaty between the
United States and France, just signed
by Commissioner John A. Kasson and
Ambassador Cambon, is of great i'm
portance, not because it is the first ne
gotiated with a great European power
under the provisions of the Dingley
law, but because of the wide range of
commodities affected by it. The I'm
tied States is now placed upon a footing
with Great Britain and Germany in
competing for French trade, the min
imum duty being substituted for the
maximum. Several hundred articles
are affected and the reduction amounts
onthe average to about 20 per cent. Con-
cessions had to be made by us in the
line of agricultural products on ac-
count of the strong pressure of agra
rian interests in France. On the other
hand, we were compelled to refuse a
reduction of duties on champagne and
| sparkling wines in general, while
the cut-down in American duties varies
from to 20 per cent. A wide range of
oils, cotton, copper, rubber and many
varieties of machinery, are to be en-
tered at French ports duty free or else
at largely reduced tariff rates. The
French example should be worth some
thing as a stimulus to other govern
ments to come into similar arrange
ments with the United States.

CONTRACT HELD UP.
Mayor Dodge Wants Graf
ton Street School House
Plans Revised.

Bids for construction of the Grafton
street schoolhouse were opened yester-
day, but the contract has rot been
awarded yet, nor will be until Mayor
Dodge is assured that the building can
be constructed complete in all details
for the estimated cost. According to
the order authorizing the construction
of this building, the estimated cost is
$4,000, but when bids were opened the
lowest was found to be s37,57S which
leaves little money for plumbing and
heating. The mayor failed to see how
the building could be built for less then
$4,000 in addition to the estimated cost
at this rate, and called halt.
Superintendent of Public Buildings
Charles H. Peck and the architect who
drew the plans will go through the
specifications and see if anything can
be eliminated, and then some arrange
ment can be made as to who shall re-
ceive the contract. George Kingston
was the lowest bidder. The bids are
George Kingston, $37,57S; Urgel
jacques, $37973; Eli Belisle, $3S.967;
Rankin & Woodside, $40, AS; J. Edward

KISSING BUG A MYTH.
A. H. Kirkland Of Gypsy Moth Commission
SATISFIED There Is No Such Thing.

A. H. Kirkland of Gypsy Moth Commission
SATISFIED There Is No Such Thing,
A. H. kirkland of Maiden, assistant
entomologist of the Massachusetts gyp-
sy moth commission, who was in Wor-
cester yesterday investigating the elm
leaf beetle matter, takes little stock in
the much discussed kissing bug. In
fact, so far as his investigation extends,
Mr. kirkland is inclined to the belef
that the bug in question is a myth. Mr..
Kirkland has been called upon in his
official capacity to pass judgment on
all sorts of insects, but thus far has
been unable to locate one that gives
evidence of being anything out of the
ordinary run of insect life.
Mr.. kirkland tells a good story Of
an incident that came under his notice
q short time ago in Haverhill when the
kissing bug, or rather an insect al
legged to belong to osculatory variety,
was brought into use for advertising
purposes. He noticed a crowd in
front of drug store window, and on
approaching, discovered the cause of
the curiosity. A bug which he recog-
nized as a variety of wasp, was con-
fined under glass Jar with a sign over
it conveying the information that the
insect was a kissing bug, and offering
a reward of $40 to the person who could
prove 1t was not. The entomologist
thought he saw a good chance to carry
away the druggists money, and, en-
tering the store, asked what the insect
was. He was informed that it was a
genuine kissing bug, and given assur-
ance that any one disproving the state
ment would be paid the reward as
stated Mr. Kirkland asked to see the
insect, at the same time explaining his
business. The druggist changed front
In an instant, and calling him to the
rear of the store, requested that he
leave the place as soon as possible, as
the bug in his window was proving a
good advertisement, and he did not
want the thing exposed.

In the army transport Tartar, which
has sailed from San Francisco with
Gen. Joseph Wheeler, the Nineteenth
United States infantry and a goodly
number of recruits, goes 81, SOC, 900,
weighing five tons of silver and gold,
besides the nickel and copper coins. The
money is for the pay of the troops in
the Philippines, and constitutes the
largest shipment yet made by our gov
eminent to Manila. Were this consign-
ment bound for Europe with the
knowledge that others had preceded it
and the certainty that others were to
follow, the financial editors would have
much to say about it. These ship
ments of coin have bearing upon the
money problem of the country, for they
withdraw just so much from the local
circulation.
