WHO WANTS A.BABY?
0verseers of the Poor Have
a Little One to Dispose
City Hall Notes.

Freeman Brown, clerk of the over
seers Of the poor has a commission TO
give away a baby.
The matter in which Mr.. Brown acts
as broker is somewhat unusual, and Of
fers an exceptional opportunity for per-
sons who may wish to adopt a child.
The infant in question Is a girl three
weeks, old, and said by authorities at
the hospital, where it was born, to be
an unusually handsome child. The
mother was deserted by her husband
some months before the child was born,
and owing to straitened circumstances
is willing to part with her child, provid-
ing she can have assurance that it will
be well cared for. Mr.. Brown is pre-
pared to furnish all information regard
ing the antecedents- of the little one.
Another case of scarlet fever has
been reported to the board of health, in
the Hill family on Clegg street This
is the sixth case in the family within a
few weeks. -Four of its members have
recently been discharged from the iso-
lation hospital, and the last victim was
taken there yesterday.
O.icials of the Worcester & Webster
and Consolidated street railways are in
no apparent hurry to begin work along
lines petitioned for in the streets of
Worcester.
Action on the decree establishing To-
cations for the Webster road in College
street were not taken up Monday night
by request of officials of the road. The
papers have been in the office of the
city clerk several days, but the officials
had not had time to look them over.
President F. H Dewey was unwilling TO
accept the franchise for the Consolidat-
ed until the cost of establishing the
grade of Soutnbridge street from
Stearns square to Hope avenue had
been determined. The company is will
ing to pay $3.50 toward the cost Of the
retaining wall on Southbridge street,
but fear is expressed that the cost Of
regarding Southbridge street will be
more than it cares to assume.
The matter of determining the change
in grade, probable cost and other de-
tails has been referred to COMMITTEES
from the board of aldermen and the city
engineer, to report as soon as conVe-
nient.
