Artificial Leg That Is Inflated.

An English inventor has devised
very ingenious artificial leg and foot
intended for use in cases of amputation
below the knee joint 1t is mainly
composed of a hollow rubber chamber
which is inflated in exactly the same
way as a bicycle tire. The skeleton of
the foot is of wood and contains within
it a rubber-faced joint which permits
of movements like those that take
place at the ankle. A pair of rubber
pneumatic pads surround the end of the
amputatod limb, so that no undue pres

IN SOUTH AMERICA.
Grand Sire Pinkerton TO Establish
Lodges There.

GouBSS dHofe'
The republic of Argentina is now the
goal of the stalwart and expansive In
dependent Order of Odd Fellows, and
another country In the Americas comes
within the jurisdiction of the grand
lodge of the United States. Yesterday,
Grand Sire A. S. Pinkerton, true to his
progressive and aggressive policy which
has done so much to increase the power
and influence OF the Odd Fellows. signed
the commission appointing d. Mayer,
United States consul at Buenos Ayres
special deputy to organize the order IN
that growing republic, which has one Of
the most stable and efficient govern
ments of any Of the South American
republics.
For some time Grand Sire Plnkerton
has been In communication with promi-
nent Odd Fellows in that country and
others who wished to become Odd Eel
lows. with the result that after giving
the matter careful consideration, he
decided upon the course which he is
now pursuing. The president Of the Ar
gentine republic is very much interested
in the matter personally, and he has
expressed himself to the effect that lie
was very DESTROYS that the Odd Fellows
should establish some lodges there.
Consul Mayer, who has been COM
missioned special deputy for the in
stallation of branches in that distant
nation, is unusually well qualified for
the work. He knows the people thor
oughly, and has the confidence and es-
TEEN Of the better classes. He writes
personally that the order has a great
future before it in that country.
He says that the people are now pro-
gressive, and under q wise and con-
sentative president, are making rapid
progress in the industrial and CONNER
cial world. Many prominent citizens of
Buenos Ayres and other leading Argen-
tine cities have also manifested good
deal of interest in the plan to organize
the order there. Once established. Con-
sui Mayer feels assured that it will ex-
pand rapidly, as the people seem to long
for an organization OF fraternal and
benevolent nature like the odd Fellows

Thieves Crack Secur-
ity Bank Safe
TO SECURE MONEY.
Attempts Were Futile AS
Nothing Is Missing.

Oakdale. March 10.LThis quiet little
village was thrown into a state of ex-
element this morning when 1t was
learned that safe blowers had been at
work. This fact was discovered at the
Security Bank, located in the office OF
the West Boylston Manufacturing Com
pany.
Friday is pay day at ths mill and ii
is probable that the cracksmen were in
hopes to secure the money, which was
supposed to be placed in the safe.
But one deposit was made at the
Security Bank during yesterday, and
this was overlooked by the thieves. 1t
SO transpired that the mill men did not
deposit the amount of the pay roll in
the safe, and little OF value was taken.
The principle involved remains the
same, and hence a daring attempt of
heavy robbery confronts the local
authorities. The men who did the blow
ing up Of the safe evidently knew their
business. Small holes were drilled and
just a sufficient amount of powder was
used to smash the lock.
The Waterman was about the mill as
usual during the night and saw nothing
to indicate the presence of safe robbers.
Neither did he hear any noise, as the
burglars were careful to shield the
noise of the explosion as much as pos
sible. The whole affair is Bhrouded in
mystery, and the local constabulary is
baffied
The facts of the case have been sub
mdtted to the state police and a rigid
investigation win follow Many here are
of the opinion that the job was executed
by the same crowd who operated on the
bank at Ashburnham

more convenient for both crews and
people.
The directors Of the Board OF Trade
have not been called together fer Tues

meets Tuesday evening, it won't be 81
easily taken in as to even think OF
bringing such q race to Worcester.

There may come a time when the dis
lance will be reduced to three. but
never will the time come when the dis
tance will be a mile and q half, the
longest straightaway obtainable at the
lake.
The unfortunate who was so simple
as to swallow the yarn, suggests that
q three mile course could be obtained
at the lake If the causeway was re-
moved.
The same distance could be obtained
on the wading pond If 1t was made
long enough. Get up.

GOVERNMENT OF CUBA.
Administration Contemplating Changes in
Some OF Its Features.

Washington, March 10.-The admin
istration is contemplating a change in
some features Of the government of
Cuba, 1t is probable that the military
government will to a certain extent be
replaced with civil government.
The head of the government must of
course remain military, but the change
in contemplation is to have civil officers
in place of the military men in the cab
met and subordinate positions.
1t is said that the officers being
brought up under strict military disci-
pline hold not only the statutes but the
army rules and regula tons as the guide
in all things while the civilian officers
would hold the statutes as their guide
and endeavor to set along under them
in the best manner possible and with
more diplomacy than is possessed by
the army men. 1t is not known whether
the contemplated change has reached
point further than discussion in the
war department and with the president
The many advantages have been point
ed out and the authority of the govern
ment to establish such a civil govern
ment under control of military gov
eminent has been determined.

Dewey's Tasks Near
ing, an End.
Sc NAVY MEN THINK.
The Admiral Has Asked for
No Relief.

Washington, March. lot can be
stated on authority that Admiral
Dewey viii not be relieved at Manila
until he chooses to make application
for zach relief
So far he has not given any intima-
tion Of a purpose to apply for relief in
the immediate future and the depart
rnent has every reason to believe that
he does not contemplate any such
action.
Consequently there is no foundation
for the story that Admiral Schley or
any other admiral has been selected to
take command of the Asiatic station
So far as the navy department is con-
cerned the directing officials are not
only willing, but anxious, that Dewey
shall complete his tasks and they de-
precate the circulation of such stories
as those alleging that he is to be re-
lieved for the reason that the impress
sion might be conveyed to the admiral
that the department would like to re-
lieve him.
In the case of a man of Deweys
punctilious feeling the mere suggestion,
If he had the slightest reason to believe
1t had an official foundation, would be
sufficient to induce him to apply inn
mediately for relief rather than to en-
barrass the department AS Dewey
himself fixed the limitation Of his stay
by the length of the task before him, it
may be a matter of interest to record
the belief of many naval officers that
after all the end is almost within sight.
Dewey has established himself in
Manila, he has assisted in the taking of
Iloilo, he has sent forces to Ceub in
connection with the army, also to Ne
gros; the principal ports of the Philip
pines have all been taken over into
American possession in large part
through his cooperation with the army
There remain only a few ports of i'm
portance, notably Zamboango on Min
danao. and perhaps one of the towns in
the Sulu archipelago to be occupied.
Expeditions are now moving in these
directions and that branch of the work
will soon be closed up. There will re-
main only two more phases of the cam
paign to require Dewey's assistance.
First, and near at hand. is the driving
off of the Tagalos under Aguinaldo near
Mania.
With Lawton landing this morning at
other reinforcements expected soon,
Gen. Otis movement in force is near at
hand. The navy will aid in this Ships
can be placed in proper positions on
the shores of the bay of Manila to COM
mand the country for miles and by CO.
operation with the army through the
agency Of the signal corps the insur-
gents can be shelled out of the jungles
many miles inland by the warships. The
next ana last feature of Deweys task
will be the establishment of a close
blockade to prevent munitions of war or
supplies from reaching the insurgents,
providing there are any insurgents re-
naming after Otis and Lawton have
made their forward movement. When
this has been done when there is moth
ing further in the way Of fighting for
the warships to do it is believed that
then Deweys task probably will be re-
garded as finished by himself and 1t will
be time for the navv department to con-
slider the question of ? .succaesor to the
commander of the Asiatic station.

THE TAX BILL.
Mr.. Hagberg's Measure
Takes Its Third Reading

Boston, March 1O.-Today's sessions
Of both branches of the legislature were
brief and uninteresting.
In the House the only rippies of ex-
citement were over the valued
policy fire insurance bill, which Mr.
Tolman Of Pittsfeid was powerless to
prevent being sent to q tn. :. reading
and the Hagberg bill, reducing the rate
Of interest on unpaid taxes from 7 to
s per cent.
Mr.. Hagberg talked the bill over with
a number of the older members of the
House today. and on their advice
amended his bill SO that che rate shan
be six per cent instead Of 3. The bill
as amended. took its third reading and
will have q good chance Of passing in
the Senate.
Mr. Hagberg had a little tilt with
Representative Newton of Everett on
the question of the amendment This
morning Mr.. Hagberg and Mr.. Newton
talked the bill over and Mr. Newton
made the statement that he would not
oppose the bill with the per cent
amendment But the first thing he did
when the bill came up was to speak in
opposition, and he was promptly called
to account by Mr.. Hagberg.
Mr.. Turtle of Pittsfield failed to have
his bill providing that prisoners com
mitted for failing to pay their fines
might be discharged at the expiration
of a certain time reported on favorably
by the committee on prisons. The bill
changed the time for which a prisoner
could be committed for inability to pay
fine, and the committee could not see
the need of a change in the law, all
though there were no remonstrants.

THEY ARE DISSATISFIED
An Appeal May Be Taken--Important Point
Settled---Leicester Has No Water Sup
ply--No Blackstone Rebates.

More than half a million dollars for
the water of the Kettle Brook shed.
$5OS, 1885 with interest is the amount
Of the award to the Kettle Brook and
Blackstone Valley min owners against
the city of Worcester by the report of
the commission which was filed with
Col. I. S. Johnson of the superior court
yesterday afternoon.
The award is generally considered to
be a discreet and conservative one.
About eighty-fve suits were brought
against the city of Worcester for the
seizure of the waters Of Kettle Brook
for its water supply, June Il, 1895, and
the mill owners who control water
privileges all the way from Kettle
Brook TO the mouth Of the Blackstone,
and who sued for damages by the diver
sion of the Kettle Brook waters 80 the
city's service will receive in total about
$625 900.
There has been great expense In pre-
senting the cases before the commission
which comprised Judge Everett c.
Bumpus of Boston, Congressman
William Whiting of Holyol1e and Geo
f. Evans Of Boston. Ninety days were
occupied in the hearing, and with the
daily routine expense rising to large
figures, there is the additional cost Oh
the commission itself, stenographers
and other fees.
There have been some statements thai
the county would bear the cost of the
commission itself, but even with this
eliminated the city win bear the great
burden of the costs and expenditures
AS Judge Hopkins ordered the report
filed before the commissioners Were
paid, the question of their personal
charges will be determined later.
The report Of the commission is MOI
final. It will have to be accepted by
the court before 1t becomes effective
and operative. Appeal from the aware
of the report is possible, and If ap-
peals are taken they will be in the
way of petitions to the superior court
for the trial OF the cases by Jury
In the case of the award for the
GAINESVILLE property, Lawyer Henry w
King as trustee, openly expressed his
dissatisfaction with the award, and
that he should at once file a petition in
the superior court to have the case
tried by jury.
What course the majority of the mill
owners represented by Blackmer &
Vaughan and Frank 2. Goulding, viii
take, will be developed during the next
few days, after the report has been
thoroughly studied in all it's details.
