WoRCESTER,S SEWERAGE.

1t might be we'll for our city fathers
to hesitate bit before any more of
the,city funds are appropriated for sew
erage experiments which result only in
additional appropriation. This time it
is not the people of Millbury who are
complaining, but our own board of
health. 1t claims that a nuisance is
maintained because of the conditions of
the Blackstone and Middle rivers in the
vicinity of Holy Cross college. The
sewage at that point flows through an
open stream, and it is claimed that sed-
iment accumulates on the sides and
emits foul odors. The city engineer
estimates that by expending $1,000, the
stream can be walled up and the null
sance abated. In order to entirely
eradicate the evil, however, the stream
must be covered. Experiments thus
far conducted for the publication of
Worcester's sewage have not been
successful, and along with other ques-
lions confronting our city government,
is that of some time constructing a
sewerage tunnel to the sea. 1t must
ultimately be built

PLENTY OF ISSUES.

Senator Jones of Arkansas promises
an abundance of issues for the next
campaign. There will be issues for
every taste for every section
of the country, for every com
munity. Of course few voters will
take kindly to all the issues; they are
not expected to show the same favor
to each But every voter is expected
to select at least one agreeable issue
from the lot and vote for Bryan on
the strength of that, swallowing the
disagreeable ones for the party's good
In New England, the orator from the
Platte will discourse nothing but i'm
perialism. In Sarpy county, Nebraska,
and Yazoo county, Mississippi, the cry
will be for free silver. In New York
the obsolete doctrine of free trade may
be revivified for the mugwump voter
and in Chicago the Altgeld- ridden mob
will hear nothing but an cutlery against
government by injunction" Some of
this physic for voters may be less OBJ
jectionable than the rest, but it all
comes out of the same dirty bottle.

SPEAK LOUD AND CLEAR.

The recent order instructing local
street railway conductors to call out
distinctly the name of every street on
the approach of the car, will be met
with favor by the thousands of our citi-
zens who each day are worried through
out the trip between their homes and
places of business by the thought that
they may be carried beyond their des-
tination. Especially is this true in win
ter, when the windows of the cars are
covered with ice and sleet The Hew

ductor to call the name of the street

the street, and also when the street is
reached There will be no excuse for a

DISCERNING IN THE PHILIPPINES.

1t is an old saying that where
there is much smoke there must be
some fire" and these reports that come
from San Francisco have about them a
general bearing that gives a measure of
belief to the stories of the looting in
the Philippines. The San Francisco cor
respondent of the Chicago Record saws
that for months past members OF the
Catholic clergymen have heard renorts
that the churches in the Philippines
were being desecrated and plundered nv
American soldiers. Investigations have
been made and those who had possess
ion of the stolen property were shrewd
enough to keep it out of sight This
precaution has been abandoned, how
ever and in many pawn shops through
out San Francisco, traffic is being car
ried on in the sale of chalices. vest

were bold enough to make an exhibit

McKinley's delay in writing that por

MRS. HUMMEL's SACRIFICE.

Rather a sad story this from Chicago.
A Mrs. Ernest Hummen, Jr., a teacher
in one of the public schools, has acoui-
esced IN the adoption by widowed sis
ter, of her seven months old child. The
school rules say that no married woman
with children Under two years of age
may hold positions as teachers. This
was framed upon the belief by the
authorities that either the child or the
public duties of the woman would suffer
neglect. The story of Mrs. Hummell was
told at length in Mondays Spy. She
either had to give up her baby or starve,
because, as she said, her husband was a
bankrupt. 1t is apparent that he not
only lost his money, but his manhood as
well.

fact that no republican representative

and of so very uncertain and variable
political opinions. has not prevented
him and his active assistants from Sc
curing the promised support of thirty
or more old members.
The other candidates are all good re-
publicans. There is no dispute over the
records of Reed, Bennett or Saunders
1t isn't often that Massachusetts news
papers are called upon by evident dutv
to party and state to oppose the ambi-
ton of a candidate for speaker. But
here is case calling for some action.
Myers has been a Cleveland worshiper
and has affiliated with the most infiuen-
tial enemies Of his party And today,
when the republican national admin
istration needs the hearty support of
every believer in honest money, in pros
perity and national unity, we find Myers
arrayed with Atkinson, Aguinaldo & Co.
and the rest of the opposition, including
the democratic party, to make the res
toration of peace in the Philippines as
costly difficult and bloody as they can.
The league to which this politician be-
longs is in open rebellion against the
government. To honor him would be to
put the republican party on record az

must be admitted that, in pursuance of
a habit of taking both sides of every
question, he has recently e=Aressed b.

Very Well Let him follow the lead.
He is not the man to preside over a

The Spy hopes no Worcester county
representative in the republican caucus
will be charmed into the Myers group.
While we prefer Saunders we should ac-
cept the other fellows if Myers is not
chosen. Saunders is straight, clean and
able. He is worthy of the place as speak
er, in line for the customary promotion,
he would succeed, while Mr. Myers is
more than likely to disrupt the party
if elected speaker. No man can lead a
party or direct legislative body if he
is uncertain about his own opinions and
lacks faith in his own party.

Out and About


Dante Gabriel Rossetti and his sister,
Christina, formed the subject of Prof.
W. G. Wards address at the Woman's
club yesterday afternoon. To those who
know little about these two talented
individuals, the lecture could hardly
have been satisfactory, for their per
sonalities remained at the close almost
as much IN obscurity as before.
Prof. Ward began by speaking of the
inheritance of Dante and Christina
from their Italian English parentage,
and from the double inspiration of exile
and adoption. He thought the fact of
their inheritance and birth might &C
count for the tendency both showed to
express the inexpressable, and to pass
beyond the limits of this world in their
verse into the next. To them, he said,
was the introduction of the spiritual
into English verse due Before them
Scott's poetry had been considered the
perfection of English poetry; it pos
sessed nearly every quality but the
spiritual, which is now regarded as es-
sential. The speaker sketched Ros-
setti's introduction to the beautiful girl
who, after eight years of waiting. be-
came his wife, their short life together,
the burial of his poems in the coffin be-
side her cheek and his exhuming of
them seven years afterward. He told
of Christmas devotion to their mother,
of her refusals of marriage, and the
growing sadness, even moroseness, of
her verse. In illustration he read the
poems beginning When ] was dead my
spirit turned" Remember when l am
gone away" THE curtains were half
drawn" and Does the road wind up
the hill all the way?"
Prof Ward said that there was not a
trace Of the morose or sad in Dante
Gabriel He read THE Blessed Damo-
eel pointing out as he went along
some of the beauties in this marvel of
poem for young man of 22 TO write.
It has been said, he told the audience,
that the images of his mother and sis
ter Christina blended in Dante GabriePs
mind to form the thought of THE
Blessed Damozel." After that he read
the sonnet to Michael Angelo "A little
while" THE portrait and II have
been here before" In closing he urged
that America become great art coun-
try, able to appreciate and foster a gen
ius like Dante Gabriel Rossetti. When
the future looks back to the victorious
age in England, he said, the names that
it will most cherish will not be those
of the persons who have the greatest
noise, but of three or four people like
the Tennysons and the Rossettis.
The pleasure of the afternoon was
greatly enhanced by the singing of Will
helm Heinrich, who gave sympathetic
and highly practical renderings of five
Of Rossetti's lyrics that have been set
30 music by Edwin Darmsreuther of

Admiral Dewey possibly did not antici-
pate the criticism that has followed his
act in deciding to his new wife the home
given to him as a result of public sub
scriptions. The admiral has a son. George
Dewey, and it would no doubt have been
much more satisfactory to the donors had
the house remained in the admiral 9
name, so that the son might have sue
ceeded to it, particularly as the admiral
is without other property while his wife
has another house of her own and inher-
its large fortune But he acted in the
matter entirely within his legal rights. If
the report is correct that Mrs. Dewey has
now concluded to deed the house to the
admiraIs son that will not mend matters.
Inc FUND with which the house was pur-
chased was raised for the admirafs BEN
eft and the donors will hardly be salts
ned with anything short of his holding
the house in his own name as Grant and
Sherman did with the houses presented
70 them under similar circumstances
Philadelphia Press.
The latest in the Dewey house episode
is that Mrs. Dewey has transferred the
house to son George, and that the orig
way 1t has been done so that no dispute
GOULD by and by arise over the disposition
of the property.
Well, the second move is perhaps bet
ter than the first, and it will not be cour-
teous for anybody to intimate that the
second move is only a result of the way
in which the first move struck the people.
But even now the people will not be fully
satisfied with what has been done. They
will not see why the admiral couldn't
have kept their gift in his own name until
ne had no further use for it,
1t may also be remarked that when Ad-
miral Dewey felt impelled to give his
house to his son through his wife, It would
have been wise to give the whole news
out at once instead of telling the part
about the transfer TO his wife. 1t is I'M
deniable that. though the admiral is still
as large a hero as he ever was, he is not
as large just now in the minds Of many as
he has been. Such is fame New Haven
