The Ladies Relief of the G. A. II.
gave supper tonight, in G. A. r. hail.
The supper was furnished by the ladies,
1t included cold meats and cold fowl.
salads and other early evening dishes.
FIFTY or more people sat down to eat
at $50 o'clock this afternoon. The sup
per was followed by an entertainment
that lasted well into the evening.
The belated picnic, which is the So
cial event of the year in the Unitarian
church, took place this evening in Bige-
low hall. L was greater and grander
! than ever before. Many people came to
| see the fun, and the church realized
quite sum of money. There was dane
| ing. The music was furnished by a
hurdy gurdy imported all the way from
Boston. The ladies of the Franklin
Unity had spared no effort to make the
belated picnic q success, and a success
| it was.
| The American biograph, with its
moving pictures, attracted people to
the Clinton Theatre tonight in larger
numbers than it did last night. The
pictures are by far the best that have
been shown here. The pictures of the
pope in the gardens of the Vatican re-
ceived especial attention.
The funeral of James, the two-month-
old son of James and Norah McGrail,
took place from the home of the pa
rents on Summit street, this afternoon.
There is no place that the people of
Clinton who travel between this town
and Worcester on the trolley cars, hold
in greater affection than they do the
little waiting room at Britain square.
This waiting room is furnished by the
courtesy of George H. Hall, who runs
a news stand in connection with it.
1t has been almost a life-saving sta
ton to the people here during the
storms when cars have been few and
waiting long. There is usually a fire in
the waiting room, early or late, and it
strikes the people here as about the
coolest, most comfortable spot to be
found anywhere on the lines of the
Consolidated Street Railway Company
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-03-25

The electric wires which have been
down for the past few days on account
of the storm, have been put into proper
condition and Mr.. Clark. superintendent
of the gas house, had the entire town
lighted up last evening as usual. None
too much praise can be given to Mr..
Clark for such prompt work.

MCKINLEY will not visit North
Dakota this summer.

Down in Eddy county they are
having quite a little trouble with
the grass-hopper pest, which &C.
cording to experts sent out from
the state agricultural experiment.
al station at Fargo, is due to a
failure of some of the farmers to
pillow their stubble last fall. In
cases where this was neglected the
eggs of the grass-hopper are hatch
ing out this summer. 1t is report
ed that no hoppers have been
found where the land was plowed,
but they will spread of course if
the pest becomes numerous.

Il Splendid ENDING.

The proceedings Of the state
democratic convention Of Kentucky
have furnished the rightea Jus edi.
torial advocates of trusts imperial.
ism the text fol many a sad ilolni}y
on the innate disposition of demo.
Gratis to disregard all recognized
laws Of peace and order. 1t will
at least be interesting now to OBJ,
serve just how they regard the
close Of the exciting contest il
that convention for the guberna.
torial nomination.
A republican convention is usu.
ally so-called deliberative body,
brought together to record the will
of either q coterie Of professional
politicians or to do the bidding OF
a knot of interested capitalists and
trust promoters. There prevail
in such bodies usually the most
serene peace and agreement
When the rule is violated and
there is some spirit Of opposition
manifested, experience, hereabouts
at least, shows that the division of
the prospective spoils and Of the
lubricating influence is usually at
the bottom of the difficulty.
1t was not So in Louisville.
There the delegates showed spirit
which often approached danger
ously to the limit of personal hos
Jility. But when the result was
achieved the ready good nature
and complete aquiescenee with
which it was received show the
men engaged in it to be too big
morally and mentally to harbor
any Of the feelings which are usu-
ally engendered in small minds by
defeat. There was an exhibition
Of party loyalty and patriotic citi-
zenship which proves the true
worth of the system of party OPP
position in our political methods.
The miserable influence of the
secret distribution Of money to in
fuence the votes of delegates with
which this state and community
have been made familiar have no
place in such a gathering. The
man who would offer money to a
delegate in that convention would
probably stand in much more
serious danger OF having a hole
put through him than by any other
act, however injurious it might be
to his political opponents in the
convention. Every enlightened
citizen who has observed the pro-
ceedings of the Louisville conven-
ton will agree that they testify
rather to the patriotism and party
devotion of those participating in
it than they do to any condition
which might be said to be in any
way injurious to the welfare of
representative government.

FRUIT GROWERS IN SESSION.
Monthly Meeting OF County Society
Waging War Against Pests.

The December meeting of the Salt
Lake County Horticultural society. held
yesterday afternoon, was poorly at
tended. bit the members present found
profit in the exchange of ideas upon the
best methods of e:stermirating such
pests as coddling moth, woolly aphis,
scale and red spider. With reference
to crown gall, 1t was the concensus
of opinion that nursery stock should
be eTamined for the presence of this
defect. which renders young trees thus
affected entirely unfit for planting The
belief also prevailed that the best re-
suits are obtained by securing orchard
stock now and burying> the roots over
winter. thus making the trees better
seasoned for setting out in the spring
at the proper time.

Large Audience Assembled to Hear
Talented Woman Talk On sour
Brains and What Ais Them,

Our Brains, and What Ais Them
was the subject of the discourse by
Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson at the
Ladies' Literary club last evening. Mrs.
Stetson prefaced her subject with a
few running commentaries which con-
tanned the epigramatic remarks that
the average brain is too busy to con-
fine itself TO one persons affairs; that
solitude is detrimental to brain ,devel-
opment, and that the brain is essen
tally a transmitter of intelligence in
contradistinction to receiver of i'm
pressions
The body of the lecture was based
upon the remarkable paradoxical state
of affairs produced by the everlasting
Conflict between our superior intelli-
sence and our colossal stupidity. We
display intelligence in our specialties,
such as science. art, philosophy and re-
iiSion; and intense stupidity in our
generalities. such as the ordinary af-
fairs of every day life
Men are trained to become perfect in
specialties by the aid of expert teach
ing: the natural law of selection; the
cumulative knowledge of those who
have gone before. and the collateral
knowledge obtained from trade jour
nails. In spite of all these facts, it is
astonishing how many kinds of a fool
Il man can be. and still get on in the
world; woman hasn't even a speciality.
and there is no limit to her being as
many kinds of fool as she chooses to
be.
The lecture was thoroughly enjoyed
by a large audience
