A NATIONAL DISGRACE.
Rev. DIR. Jordan wished Hand of
CaoISOsz Might Have Been ParaIyzed.

CaoIgosz Might Have Been PnraIyzed
During the service at the First Bap-
fist Church last night Rev. Dr. John
D. Jordan, the pastor, spoke of the as
sassination of President Mckinley,
which he styled national disgrace.
The minister said that he wished that
the hand of Czolgosz had been par
alyzed as it lay in the handkerchief.
In speaking of the homicide that
caused millions to mourn, DR.. Jordan
said:
During my absence from you we
have suffered a national bereavement
and a national disgrace by the as
sassination of Mr.. Mckinley. He was
the most universally beloved President
that these United States have ever
had. While 1 differed from him on
some things, / agreed with him on
many. 1 admired him for his states
manship, for the beauty and devotion
of his home life, and for the purity
and strength of his Christian charac-
ter.
He was Christlike in some things.
On the cross Christ prayed for those
who put him to death. Mr.. Mckinley
prayed for his assassin. In Gethse-
name Christ prayed that Gods will not
his, be done. At the end Mr.. Mckinley
said Gods will be done, not ours.
In his death 1 feel personal bereave-
ment.
LAS to the assassin, 1 could only wish
that his right hand might have been
paralyzed IN that handkerchief before
it fired that fatal shot.
I'm the death of our beloved Presi-
dent, 1 recognize that God permitted
it, but l do not feel that God decreed
it. Out of this great sorrow God can
bring good to this nation and let us
pray that He may do So"
Dr. Jordan was greeted by two large
congregations yesterday. He was
greatly benefited by his trip North.
He spent several weeks at Franklin,
Buffalo, Buzzard's Bay, Martha S
Vineyard. Nantucket and New York
DR.. Jordan occupied the pulpit of the
First Baptist Church of Franklin for
four Sundays and on one occasion
taught the Bible class of Gen. Charles
Miller.

Mr.. WINBURN'S SUCCESSOR.
Significant Statement Made by Pres
ident John NJ. Egan of the Central.


Mr.. John NJ. Egan, president of the
Central Railroad, returned yesterday
from New York, where he was in at
tendance upon a meeting of the execu-
tive officers of the Southeastern
Freight Association. A number of
matters came before the meeting, but
they were all of a routine nature.
Mr.. Egan says that the matter of
appointing d general freight agent to
succeed Nj w. A. Winburn, to be
made traffic manager on Oct. 1. sue
ceeding Mr.. E. H. Hinton, is still under
Amusement. 1t is possible, said Mr..
Egan, that one of the present en-
ployes will be given the position, and
the title later, should his work prove
satisfactory.
This statement from Mr.. Egan has
significance that will not fail to inn
press employees of the Central. The
policy of the company to promote from
the ranks is well known, so, in specu-
lating as to Mr.. Winburn's possible
successor, it was no difficult matter
to single out those regarded as most
likely to receive consideration. The
prediction that either Mr.. w. E. Estes,
agent at Savannah, or Mr.. c. w.
Chears. division freight agent at Chat
tanooga, would receive the appoint
ment was common among railroad
men, and it is not improbable that
one or the other will be the man. The
installation in the position, with the
bestowal of the title subsequently,
would not be without precedent, as it
was the plan followed when Mr. w. H.
Peasants was appointed to the duties
of traffic manager of the Ocean Steam
ship Company, having the title con-
ferred Subsequently.
Regarding LaGrande Duchesse, Mr.
Egan said that the postponement of
the races between the Columbia and
the Shamrock II would necessarily de-
lay the transfer of the ship to the
Ocean Steamship Company, as she is
chartered to follow the yachts, but
that SO soon as the races are over, the
Duchess will be turned over to the
builders to make the changes that will
fit her for the run on the Savannah
line. These changes it will take about
two months to make, so that the ship
will not be put on the run until some
time in December. Bids for the
changes are now being received.
Mr.. James Freeman, travelling pas
Senger agent of the Southern, with
headquarters at Macon. was in Sa-
vannah yesterday.

THREE COOLIES ARRESTED.
Charged with Beating and Robbing
Fellow Seaman.

Three coolies, with names that can
not be pronounced or spelled in Eng
fish, were arrested at an early hour
yesterday morning by Patrolman Doo-
ley, and are held at the police station
house on a charge of assaulting and
robbing member of their crew. The
complainant told the officer or at least
that is what the officer understood his
signs and mutterings to mean, that his
watch and G1 had been taken from him
by his fellow seamen, after they had
given him a smack across the eye
On the police blotter the prisoners
appear as Moses Esas, Abdelo and
Berchul, and to these names they will
plead in Police Court this morning.
Esas knows some dozen sounds that
he intends shall stand for English
words. and with these he denies the
charge entered against himself and his
companions. ESas will have the
court believe that the man who's eye
was injured was drunk, fell and hurt
himself. The trouble occurred in a
clearinghouse on the east side, where
the coolies are putting up during their
stay in port.

HAVE A POLICE COMMISSION

Worcester would be following the ex-
the United States if it made a few al
terations in it's city charter. The police
force, particularly, could be handled
more satisfactorily if the appointment
of the men, the age limit and the pow
err of removal were placed in the hands
of a police commission, the charges to
be preferred by the officers of the po-
lice force in case of any infractions in
the rules.
1t is suggested that an age limit DE
fixed beyond which policeman could
not serve without special yearly APP
pointment. 1t is suggested that the
policemen be subjected to an annual
physical and educational examination
to test their fitness for the places they
hold. 1t is believed that the very best
citizens of the city would consent to
serve on the police commission. This
is a special line of work for which the
city boards elected annually cannot be
expected to get the best results. They
have enough to occupy their attention
without dealing with the police force
directly. This business should be placed
in the hands of an efficient board of
commissioners to be appointed by the
mayor.
The Spy has said that there are
members of the police force who could
be spared, but under the present sys-
tenn this is mere easily said than done.
1t should be said that the present Chief
of Police of the city of Worcester gives
satisfaction to those people who know
Of his conscientious devotion to duty
and his ability in the performance of
the duties of his office. lie has COM
potent staff Of assistants. The sug-
gestion is made with the hope of MAX
ing the duties Of the chief less difficult
than at present.

LORD sALIsBuRYs MEANING

Lord Salisburys speech which was
delivered a week ago Saturday night,
an outline of which appeared in these
columns, was one of the chief themes
of discussion in London last week.
With the appearance of the various
weekly reviews another shower of Sc
we're criticism has fallen upon the
Prime Minister. It is interesting to
note that Englishmen, instead of de-
voting all their time to what they con-
slider signs of weakness on the part Of
Lord Salisbury, are asking one an
other what he meant by saying that a
silence about African affairs is imposed
on the government by a sense of public
duty The public cannot imagine what
it is that would relieve the apprehen-
sion if fuller explanation were given.
1t is suggested that possibly it is known
to the administration that the Boer
funds are nearly exhausted. If it
should be explained publicly that the
money of the Beers was almost gone 1t
might lead to a replenishment Of the
funds by Europeans in sympathy with
them. The English may find that Lord
Salisbury spoke better and more
strongly than they knew at the time.
They evidently have some suspicion
that such was the case.

NORMAN INFLUENCE
IN SALT LAKE CITY

A. Suliy Guard, leading man in 1.-THE
Two Little WATTS" played at Lothrop's
this week, was last in Worcester with
Lights of Home a piece which met
with instant success and has had long
runs in the large cities,
Mr.. Guard was several years ago
leading man for a stock company in
Salt Lake City, and there had several
experiences which would naturally jar
any one. Il tell you what it fs,' Mr.
Guard said to The Spy man, yester-
day, zone has to see the inside work.
ings of Mormonism to understand it's
terrible power. Mormonism controls
business, religion and even the theatre.
1t happened that in one of our produce
tons, there was a sentence which cast
ridicule on some tenet of faith held by
the Mormons, I forget just what it was.
The next day, the manager of our
company was informed that it would
be better to leave the city. No Mormon
would attend the theatre and the pa
tronage of the Gentiles would not fill
the house We left. / never wish to
play in any place where there is any
influence dominating the stage in such
a way
Il suppose newspaper men who did
work in the SPANISH American war
down in Cuba found out what censor
ship meant. A rigid censorship of the
theatre is injudieious and cramps the
best efforts of the artist Some people
sheer at so-called melodramas, but
compare them with the realistic style
of plays adapted from the French,
filled with nastiness. Of course in the
melodrama the hero generally has
trouble, and the villain triumphs for
time and is finally foiled. Well, that
theme runs through the majority of
successful novels, doesn't it? A. melo-
drama certainly appeals to the great
middle class of theatregoers and it's
influence is surely good.
"Habitual theatregoers may find the
plot a trifle hackneyed, but to the ma
jority of the audience it is all real, and
they cheer the heroine and hiss the viii
lain. Now take the piece in which I
play this week. 1t is a natural piece,
bringing out things which happen in
real life every day. There are. two
little girls who have parts which are
made very fetching by the naturalness
of the work of the little tots. Most
children spoil their roles by getting
affected and waiting for applause
from the audience"
Among the company is Ed Price who
was property man at Ford's Opera
House at the time of Lincoln's assas-
sination

LIE POPES HEALTH

A correspondent of the New York
Sun sends a communication from Rome
in which he bitterly deplores the re-
ports that have been sent all over the
world to the effect that the health of
Leo XIII is declining, and that the
Pope is already in a state that makes
him incapable of performing his duties,
The writer of the article declares that
not only are the reports utterly false,
but that they have back of them ma
licious and far-reaching purpose. The
Pope, it is said has on several occa-
sions expressed great sorrow about the
stories concerning him. AS matter of
fact. the manner of the Pope's life and
his habits of work and administration
have not changed, according to the
Suns informant. DR. Lapponi is very
strict and watches the Pope with min
ute care. This fact gives to the journal
lists and others some show of reason
for their assertions.
1t is argued that there is virtually
a conspiracy directed by one man in
high political power. 1t has for its pur-
pose to cause all important action to
be put off until the next Pontificate and
to bring about in the coming conclave
a change of administration and of poll
CIV. 1t is desired in France, it is alleg-
ed, that the Pope shall inspire neither
confidence nor fear and that disobedi-
ence and doubtful actions may be au
thorized. There is a purpose ito Jug
gle away the permanent policy of the
Papacy and to enmire Catholicism in
the old, conservative methods of work"
The attempt to make out that the
stories about the Pope are really a part
of a plot seems rather far-fetched. The
Pope is such an old man and has pre-
viously become so feeble, that it is not
at all strangs that the impression
should be general that his decrepitude
is growing and that he may soon pass
away. Yet at the same time it may
be possible that adverse reports are
seized upon and exaggerated for polit-
ical purposes.

SEVERE WINTER FoREToLp

Those who pretend to be versed in
signs say that a long and cold winter
is ahead. AS usual the people listen
readily to whatever the weather seers
have to say, ana, no doubt, place a
great deal Of confidence in their con-
illusions. It is not strange that they
should do SO. Why should one not sup
pose that nature makes special pro-
vision by which plant and animal life
is fortified to meet some unusual
crisis? It may be somewhat unscien-
tiic to believe what the eldest citizens
have to say. yet one can but treat the
opinions of these excellent persons
with great respect.
The residents of one Of the rural dis
tricts near Worcester, saw in the very
early snowstorm an unmistakable sign
n q severe winter. Just why an early
ztor,n should mean unusually cold
weather, was not explained. but one
need not be skeDticaI for that reason.
It is only the initiated who may look
behind the veil and understand the
why's ard wherefores.
Ore Of the Oldest citizens of Temple
ton IS certain that the days Of snow
and ice Viii be many and intensely
cold. He has become convinced that
The animals can foresee storms. There
fore whaa he found that the musk
rats we're building mounds unusually
large he said they we're taking extra
ordinary precautions for good reasons.
This sign would have been quite
enough 10 satisfy q less conscientious
observer than this good man of Temple
ten. BCt he strsightway sought other
evidence. He went to the woodchuekg,
In whose Judgment on weather mat
ters he has great confidence, and as he
had expected. found that the wood
chuel1s were digging holes for their
winters lodging much deeper than
usual The animals would not have
taken any such trouble had they not
coed cause. The unanimity OF opinion
o. the part Of muskrat and wood
chuck was enough even for che scru-
pulous Templetonisn. Once before. in
The sslI Of 1874, he thinks, he noted the
