misstated.
Mr.. Chaplin today when asked about
the matter, further said that the trouble
had been known for some time, but that
until the bank was closed it was consid-
cred unwise for business reasons to make
known the conditions. 1t was intimated
however that no steps in the matter were
proposed by the Squire creditors, and it is
not known to what extent discoveries in
this connection made by Receiver Wing
may have influenced his action.
1t was considered more likely that an
other phase of the situation is of more
Importance, Bankers understood when
the difficulties of the bank first came to
light that an Indebtedness of $780, 900 to
the clearing house was found. This, it
was claimed, was not for the banks ac-
count, although borrowed in the name of
the bank. The amount it is alleged, did
not go through the books of the bank, but
passed to individual account. 1t also was
understood among those acquainted with
the banks situation that this sum was in
cluded in the 81, 100000 indebtedness as
sumed by Mr.. Cole and his associates
when he retired from the presidency of
the institution.

The board of directors of the armory
league of basket ball has voted to ac-
cept the resignation of P. w. Lincoln.
1t came UP for action at the last meet
ing of the board, and as Mr.. Lincoln
stipulated he would not serve under
any consideration, there was nothing
left to do but to accept it.
Arrangements We're made for the
double game tomorrow evening. Rob
ert A. Vaughan, John F. ]. Herbert and
Harry L. Dadmun will officiate at the
contests There will be two games.
The Emmets and Batterys will start
the playing and the City guards and
Wellingtons will line up against each
othter The same plan that was tried
so successfully Thanksgiving night will
z be followed. The Emmets and Bat
terys will play the first half of their
game and the other teams will then
play the first half of their contest. The
teams will also finish up in that order,
50 that playing will be continuous.
The first game will begin at o'clock.
No seats will be reserved. An admis-
sion of rs cents will be charged, which
will entitle the ticket holder to a seat.
The games will be of especial in
terest, as they will decide ties for
places in the standing of the teams. At
present the City guards and yelling

ARE TIED FOR FIRST PLACE
and the other teams are also tied for
third place. AS the tied teams play
against each other, something will have
to break.
Score cards will be provided for the
games, for the first time during the
season. They will be a great con-
venience and will be well appreciated
by the spectators, as they can thus
more easily keep tabs on the progress
of the game.
The standing of the teams is as fol-

the gun stores last evening supplying
themselves for the holiday shoot. F,v-

days and promise to be tomorrow.
Although weather conditions for
hunting foxes have been excellent for
several weeks, the Worcester Fur COM
pany is far behind its record of last
year at corresponding period The
feature of the week has been the pass
ing of the leader of several weeks, Paul
Wheeler of Rutland. He has five foxes
to his credit which he had several
weeks ago. While he stayed at the

and H. G. Newell of Ashburnham
jumped him, and each has six pelts to
his credit on the score board The

A. B. f. Kinney has been appointed
one of committee of five to push leg
islatureward the agitation for better
laws for protection of game birds. The
appointment of Mr.. Kinney is a trib-
ute to not only himself, but to Wor-
cester sportsmen, for the prominence
they attained in the recent meeting of
Massachusetts sportsmen at Boston.
MIR. Kinney was one of the leaders of
the meeting, and was ably seconded by
the delegates sent by various organiza-
tions in this city. The appointment
OF the committee is to carry on the
WORK started at the meeting.
A Worcester paper aroused consider
aole interest among sportsmen yester-
day, by telling how a partridge flew
into the city and allghted on a tree
on Pleasant street. Sportsmen inau-
gurated a guessing contest last even
ing, on the brand which will produce
ri rtridges instead OF snakes. 1t would
be favorite brand in, the brush if a
mar sought a record for starting birds.

HEAVY RIDING
All Trains Into the City Were
Loaded With Passengers

Yesterday was a day long to be re-
memberei by abroad employees. None
of the regular trains on the Boston &
Albany lines went through without
some delay. The traffic was the heaviest
in many yeac5 but it was attributed to
the pleasant, balmy weather, rather
than the holiday season. The trains
yesterday afternoon, east and west,
were from 10 minutes to an houi late,
the cause in every case being the ex-
ceptionally heavy traffic. The 5.04 train
to New York had two engines and 70
passenger cars, each Of which was fill
ed. The 4.3S train to Boston yesterday
afternoon was held up half an hour to
connect with western trains which were
loaded to the limit with passengers
Conductor Harry Adams pulled the
"OwP' train into this city from Boston
this morning, less than a minute late,
and hundreds of passengers were
aboard

The fact that PIT shares of the Globe
bank are owned by the Peoples Savings
bank of this city, and 100 shares by
the Worcester Five Cents Savings bank
will not affect these two institutions in
the least. They are simply response
Bile for the value of the shares held, a

Confesses a Crime.

The Arizona Republican is authority for the statement that evidence has been discovered showing that Jack Echols. sentenced in 1898 to ten years imprisonment at Yuma for stage rob bery, committed near Prescott, is an innocent man. A man recently sent to Yuma has confessed to the robbery. This man went to Echol's cabin, bor- rowed his shoes and his rifle and tore off cloth to make mask and then went out, held up the stage and returned the rifle and shoes to the cabin. The trailers trailed the shoes to the cabin, found them there, also the cloth from which the mask was torn, and Echols was convicted.

horticulture.

Be especially careful in working
about peach or cherry trees, because
when the bark of them is wounded
it is a long time healing.
Do not pile the manure up about
the trees, as this is more or less in
furious, and, beside, affords hiding
place for vermIn. Scatter it under
the trees as far out as the branches
extend, or, if there is an abundance,
cover the whole orchard with it
freely.
Trees grow just as we'll during
hard times as when other things
generally are prosperous. We could
well afford to make the coming
spring an epoch in tree planting
The ground will be in good shape,
and trees are now almost as cheap
as weeds. 1t is we'll to thus plan a
little for comfort in old age.
A little tobacco dust and caustic
lime worked into the soil is a good

and young trees. This also tends to
produce vigorous growth, which
of itself enables them the better to
resist disease.
Those who make fruit bearing pay
must be ready to offer the best. 1t
pays especially to thin fruits when
crops are the heaviest, for then is
the greater difference in values be-
tween firsts and seconds. Inferior
fruits go begging always, while the
finer rarely do at any price.
That obscure disease, the "yel-

HOrsas,

With our twenty millions of horses
we can not meet the export demand.
We have not enough of the right
kind; not even enough to meet the
home trade. This fact will be more
and more evident the coming sum-
mer.
Let the farmer raise as many good
horses as he needs, and it will not
matter whether they are worth few
or many dollars. He will find a
surer profit, perhaps, in agriculture
and other stock, and he can turn
over most of the business of horse
raising to horsemen. He can rest
assured that nothing is ever going to
supplant the use of the horse on the
farm.
In Germany the women, dogs and
cows do more hauling than do
horses. In Belgium horses are too
valuable to put to milk, bread and
market carts, and the women and
dogs are harnessed. The horseless
carriage seems tJ be failure, but it
is said that out in California certain
people are training ostriches to drive
in races and to pleasure scarts. The
horse will live yet.
Life could not be maintained in
present conditions without the help
of the horse, neither would civiliza-
ton have developed to it's present
form without him. We can distin-
guish between the races of men by
the uses they have made of the
horse.
Horses are cheap in Australia be-
cause none of them are under roof
from birth to breaking, and they get
nothing to eat but grass they pick
up. Eighty per cent. of them are
used for the saddle and light har-
ness.
The gelding is as reproductive as
a bicycle, and but eats his work up,
while the mare will do her work and
raise her colt every year. In the
mare there is profit; there is none in
the gelding.

Sheep.

There Is no excuse for the farmer
who will at the present day place an
inferior or mongrel bred ram at the
head of his flock. For few dollars
pure bred rams of the very best
breeds may be had.
When we make pork, beef, butter
or cheese nearly everything used is
that which would bring money i'm
the market. The real cost of keep
ing sheep is, therefore, comparative
ly much less than that of any other
farm stock.
A definite amount of grain will put
more weight upon sucking lambs
than upon any other animal. 1t
pays to feed lambs before they are
weaned all the grain they VIII eat
when on good blue grass or clover
pasture, and it pays especially we'll
IL upon dry feed.
Corn aud confinement of the ewes
will make large lambs, perhaps, but
