OVERDRAWN.
A Difficulty That Confronts the school
Committee.


1t seems that the appropriation for text
books In the general appropriations for
public schools has been overdrawn by
nearly 500 besides the amount
which was voted for book orders at the
last meeting of the school committee.
1t will be remembered that at the last
school committee meeting the question
Of whether Oh net the appropriation for
text books had been overdrawn was
brought up and occasloned considerable
dl soussion. School book orders amount.
ing to about s75 vera pending and the
question was whether thess orders should
be approved or not. 1t was at that time
stated that the appropriation had not
been ovsrdrawn and that there was a
sum of about $50 remaining unexpended.
With this understanding the book CT
deTs were approved. Since that time bills
have been presented against this sppro-
prist,on overdrawing the appropriation
by about 500 and this Is outside OF the
book orders voted ct the last meeting
So the school board after all of its dis
oussion has exceeded one of Its appropri-
atlons and the question now Is how to get
out of this difficulty.

YESTERDAYS WEATHER.
"A Delightful Day Which Made Riding a
Pleasure.

The dawning of Sunday in Worcester
was marked by perfect weather, that in
slight degree made UP for the discom-
future attending the limited sale of lux
uries The smoker who neglected to
put in his Sabbath supply on Saturday
night was inclined to perspire under the
collar when a sale Of cigars or to-
bacco was refused him, but the weather
was so delightful when he got outside,
that he soon forgot his disappoint-
ment in the enjoyment of nature.
The heavy showers Saturday put the
roads in poor condition for cycling, and
the trolley cars and liverymen were
the gamers. 1t was a delightful day
for riding, and all private rigs and
many from the livery stable were on
the road. All the suburban trolley
lines caught big crowds Clinton, MARI
boro and Grafton cars carrying big
cargoes. A good crowd was at the
lake in the enjoyment Of sail on the
water. All the parks were visited by
big crowds, and everybody seemed to
be at peace with the world.
There is an old saying that when the
devil beats his wife, 1t rains with the
sun shining. If it is true, Mrs. Satan
must have got a good chastising yes
terday. The sun shower which came
up about 245 was hard one while it
lasted, for ten minutes, and took the
starch out of a few shirt waists and
collars. The shower was followed by

Gen. Mathews Says
He's Not Going
to Resign.

WANTS TO REMAIN ANOTHER YEAR

From Boston comes a denial of the
story of the resignation Of Brig. Gen
T. R. Mathews of the First brigade
after the annual tour Of duty at the
state encampment at South Framing
ham.
Brig. Gen. Mathews is purported as
being interviewed, stating that there
was nothing in the story so far as he
was concerned.
If that is the case, then Col. E. P.
Clark of the Second regiment is not
likely to be advanced to the grade OF
brigadier general, and Maj Harry B.
Fairbanks promotion to the command
Of the Second is not very likely to oc-
cur.
But while Brig. Gen. Mathews may
not desire to give up the command OF
the First brigade, still it was tacitIy
understood that he would do so after
being three years at it's head. The

arrangement the Boston & Maine ex-
pect only a comfortable traffic arrange
ment such as it enjoys now, and he an
ticipateS nothing but good will come to
the road and to New England from the
Vanderbilt control.
In regard to the reported deal between
New York Central and Pennsylvania,
an official said: The officials of the two
roads have come to an agreement by
which there shall be no cutting of
freight and passenger rates by either
road, and both roads will do what they
can, which is about what they please,
passenger rates by other trunk lines.
The understanding arrived at is prob
ably the most important railroad deal
that has been made in years. The mean
Ing of it is that henceforth all trunk
lines will be able to make some money
and pay dividends instead, as is the
case with some of them, of having a
mighty hard time to keep afoat.
