Webster, Oct. 1S-William J. Coonan
of Hotel Dewitt, as a result of the
three days fair of Court Oxford F. of
A., which closed in Memorial Hall in
oxford, tonight, has won the proud
distinction of being the homeliest man
in this section. With this honor he re-
ceived a valuable tobacco pipe, which
today he immensely enjoyed. He is
receiving congratulations.
The contest was among Mr.. Coonan,
George Moore, who won second prize,
third honors. There was, however,
only a first prize offered. Judging from
Mr.. Coonans natty appearance he is
not what his many friends voted him
to be. In fact, his friends in Worces-
ter which is his home, think that he
is quite prepossessing, but perhaps his
Webster friends have a different idea
when it comes to casting votes.
Mr.. Connan was called to the stage
when the count was announced, and
in a neat speech, the chief ranger of
the Oxford court presented to the
wlnnr the prize. The winner regrets
that there was no tobacco with the
pipe. A hearty round of applause fol-
lowed the presentation, and the hotel
man was nearly overcome with con-
gratulations.
Naturally, he intended to thank
those who voted for him, but he was
unable to make a speech. His friends
who happened to be on the stage at
the time repeatedly poked him in the
ribs, and being of decided ticklish dis
position, he was unable to say what
he intended. The treasury of the re-

Millbury Oct. 1S.-The first regular
meeting of the Millbury Womans
Club, following the summer vacation
took place at the Natural History Hall
in the Town Hall building at o'clock
this afternoon. The idea of meeting in
a hall is a new one as it has been the
custom to hold the meetings at the
homes of different members of the
club. A large, number was present.
At the business meeting four new men,
bers were admitted. The address of
the afternoon was given by DR.. Mary
E. Darrell of Worceter who had for
her subject defective Children and
Their Relation to Society,""
The audience was much pleased with
the discourse and CLEANED many facts
in regard, particularly, to defective
children in public schools. The lee
turer advocated first of all a scientific
examination of school children. The
idea was advocated of having a special
school for the feeble minded and cpl
leptic. Thus, it was argued the most
possible good would be received by the
pupil, much poverty and distress would
be eliminated, and a high moral
standard would be given to the world.
The speaker commanded the closest at
tention during her remarks, and was
congratulated by the members of the
club.
