And then there is the big opera at the

Clement Scott, the London dramatic
critic, has kept his word and retired
from active work on the Daily Tele-
graph. In view of the recent tempest
in this country and in England caused
by Mr.. Scott's plain talk about the
morality and immortality of player folk,
and following so soon the announce

America, this formal farewell of his

At the close of this, to me, eventful

these days of pulsating advance, with
lHedIeTS starting up as II Dy magic on

throbbing with new ideas, startling
theories, old orthodoxies and new
heterodoxies clashing and changing to-
gether, the duties of a dramatic re-

daily newspapers requires a giants
strength. The incessant strain of
thirty years continuous work reminds
me that the best strength, the most

thusiasm must have it's breaking point.

THE CHRONIC KICKER.

To the Editor Of The Spy:
1t is stated on all hands that Web
ster's Fourth of July fireworks are to
be let off at Beacon park. While this
may be a good thing for the street rail-
way, the Poor mans carriages" as
their directors are pleased to term them,
yet this taking away the fireworks to
a place a great distance from the town,
where parents and families must pay
car fares or be denied the fireworks
celebration, is an injustice to many of
US.
When We consider the character of
Webster's population, hard working,
thrifty, and invariably made up of large
families, it is easy to be seen that this
taking away Of the fireworks will de-
prive that portion of our population,
who most need that sort of thing, of the
entertainment they annually expect and
which to many of them is the only thing
of its kind they ever see. Why should
they be deprived of it? Why should
Webster's fireworks be taken away
from the place they have hitherto been
let off? Is 1t for the same reason that
the street railway wanted that strip of
land owned by these same poorer
classes of citizens? Is it for the same
reason that the layout of Eastern ave-
nue. has been spoiled? In short have
we reached the stage Of Tammany rot
tenness where everything is to be MIXED
for the benefit Of the railroad, while
the town fathers instead of looking out
for the town seem rather to be working
for the corporations in which some of
them individually are interested?
Yours truly,
Fireworks.

Spencer, June 26.-Another serious
accident was added today to Spencer's
long list Henry Cornell, machinist in
Joseph Paige's stitching room at the
big shop had been in the room but a
few minutes when he was called upon
to do some repairing. He went to the
place and began working, when sud
denly a spring he had in his hand,
slipped and fell over piece of shafting.
He reached over the shafting with his
right hand to get the spring. The
sleeve of his shirt caught in the shaft
ing, and Cornell was pulled around it.
There is only 10 inches space between
the shafting and wall of the building,
and in this space his body rested. The
force of his body threw the belt off,
and the machinery began to stop. Some
Shopmates working near by rushed to
CornelPs assistance. He was helped
to his rooms at the Massasoit Hotel,
and DR.. Austin was summoned, After
examining Cornell, the doctor pro-
nounced the seventh rib on the right
side broken. There were also, five
bruises on the arm and shoulder. Mr..
Cornell complained of his teeth, and
thinks that he must have struck them
when he went over the shafting. He
will be unable to work for several
weeks.
