SPRINGFIELD SEEMS ANGRY
AT THE NEW YORK GENITAL

1t is not mere partisanship for faith
full conductors men who by long and
kindly service have made friends of us
ALL this resentment which flames
along this railroad, 1t is not alone, the
sense that injustice is being done-it is
a clear apprehension of the fact that
the policy, the temper and the meth
DDS are such as to constitute a real
peril to the safety of travel Perhaps
Massachusetts is provincial, but GER
tain is it that the intolerant spirit of
slave-driVing is resented here. So deep
ly is this true, and so much has pub
lie sentiment been aroused, that if the
question of leasing the Boston & AL
bany Railroad were now to come be-
fore our Legislature the proposition
would be buried out of sight, so with
out good sense and tact have been
those who are now in command of this
leased railroad. Is it not time that
somewhere at the top of the New York
Central system account were taken of
the causes which have produced results
so bitter? The power to further in
flame the public mind remains, and can
be exercised, but the wisdom of such
proceedings must be challenged by the
long-headed. Not wholly can the new
management of the Boston & Albany
Railroad free itself from the need for
the favor of the people and their Great
and General Court. Still there will be
things to ask upon Beacon hill in Bos-
ton, and much may yet depend upon
the way such requests are regarded. To
arouse hostility where good feelings
could be kept Is mighty poor business.

WlLHELMlNA's TROUBLES

That very serious troubles have
her Prince Consort is no longer doubt
ed. The semi-official denials of the
reported estrangement are now looked
upon as false and as having been made
simply from policy.
What was at first considered as a
love match appears TO many in very
different light now. That quarrels
have come does not, to be sure, indi-
cate positively that real love was
lacking when the pair went to the al
tar. Still it is hot unnatural that
blame for what is deemed an unfortu-
nate union should be charged to poll
tical motives on the part of Emperor
William, who is considered as tnstru-
mental in bringing Queen Wilhelmina
and Prince Henry together.
Dispatches have been sent out to the
effect that Prince Henry has gone so
far IS to strike the Queen, and that he
nearly killed in duel an officer who
on one occasion had ventured to pro-
tect Wilhelmina from her husbands
rage. What elements of truth there
are in these extravagant stories can
not be definitely judged
1t is said that Prince Henry has been
chagrined because the Queen was not
more liberal with her money and be-
cause the Dutch Ministers have treat
ed him as a person of small impor-
lance. Prince Henry, on his part, has
not concealed his contempt for Dutch
men. and has failed to display the
tact that is absolutely essential in the
very difficult position that he holds.
The Dutch people are all for Wilhel-
nina. The young Queen has from her
childhood been almost an idol of the
people who are now her subjects and
they display great hatred toward the
Prince. Indeed, the bitterness toward
Prince Henry has become so intense
that he hardly dares show himself in
public.
Such is the situation in the Royal
Family of The Netherlands so far as
the people are able to judge The
troubles may not be so serious as rep
resented or they may be even worse

TRICK IS OLD BUT
WORKS SUCCESSFULLY

Recently there have been added to
the city's heterogeneous commerce
several little shops which offer for
sale. mostly at auction to the highest
bidder and to the only bidder, too if
his bid be high enough, jewelry of un-
redeemed pledges. There are tricks in
all trades and this particular trade is
the sublimation of all tricks.
In the first place there is something
alluring in the term 'unredeemed
pledges"
All such stores employ men with
phenomenal lungs, who cry their wares
in basso profundo. In one of them
there is a fellow with a voice that
would be conspicuous in a den of
roaring lions. He is always coherent
and the volume of breathy sound that
comes from his mouth seems to be re-
verberated from every surface in
the establishment. Generally he is tell
ing the merits of a certain watch, or
the price he has just been offered for
the timekeeper, and as a passing pc
destrian reaches the doorways he raises
his voice a little, which secures an in
voluntary turn Of the head Often Gu
riosity is aroused and the passerby
goes in to investigate.
When one enters the shop the "auc-
tioneer" is probably announcing that
he has just been offered a ridiculously
low price for a fine pair of earrings.
Gentlemen are you going to let this
elegant pair of earrings go at that
price?" he asks, and there seems to be
a genuine distress in his voice.
Perhaps the next article offered is a
watch.
"Ah What have we here? A
watch? Well, so 1t is, and beauty,
too.'
And then he goes on to tell how the
owner of the watch was forced to part
with it. 1t is always a pathetic tale.
Young man; health failing for a long
time; no money saved; mother dies
suddenly; the watch is pawned to pay
for the funeral of the dear old lady.
He sighs deeply, but STILES his emo
ton and proceeds with the sale.
Look at this watch and tell me
what you think of it," he says to tall
individual standing near the show
case.
''I have no need of a watch" replies
the man.
But look at it. You don't need to
buy it."
"a critical examination of the watch
follows and then the man who had no
need of it, offers perhaps IS. The bid
is at first scorned, but after much talk
is reluctantly accepted.
If anyone bids rs cents more the
watch is at once sold.
The man who offers IS is tout. :"
He goes from shop to shop. Three or
four are employed and they go .Srom
shop to shop, making the first bid on
every piece of goldplated jewelry that
is offered for sale.
There is one tall tout who wears
glasses and who has been employed so
long that even the most unwary look
at him askance. Often he is forced to
make a bluff at buying the brass
1t is safe to estimate that he has
bought at least 1000 watches during
the past two years.-New Orleans

MIDGLEY AND CARLISLE
HEAD THE PARK BILL

Sager Midgley and Gertie Carlisle in
their sketch After School, made a hit
at the Park Theatre yesterday after
noon, and are as jolly and juvenile as
ever. The sketch consists of their
usual childish nonsense and several
songs, one or two of which they have
sung before with much success. Midg-
leys makeup in itself is sufficient to
cause roars of laughter. Namba's Japs
present unique act in which the man
of the couple does some remarkabl
foot Juggling and a sort of Indian club
exercise with a couple of bowls full of
water. The woman does some difficult
trapeze work.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Thorne and COM
pany present their comedy, "An Up
town Flat" in which they were seen
last season. The piece has been bright
ened up some and contains sufficient
action and fun to deserve a place near
the top of the list. Jordan and Crouch,
novelty dancers, do some eccentric and
acrobatic dancing and retire at the
close of their act thoroughly out of
breath and with applause. The Demo
Brothers give an exhibition of tumbling
that is cleverly executed and the ST.
mon Brothers have in a comedy must
cal act something out of the ordinary.
Ten new pictures are shown by the BIZ
ograph, all of them good.

"THE FAST MAIL" LOSES
NONE OF ITS POPULARITY

Lincoln J. Carriers most famous me-
chanical and sensational drama, THE
Fast Mail" opened a weeks engage
ment at Lothrop's Opera House last
night before an audience that nearly
filled the theatre. This play, which re-
mains popular in spite of the number
of years it has been playing, is one of
the best of the Carter plays and as full
of incident as any one could desire.
The scenes showing the steamboat ex
plosion, Niagara Falls by moonlight
and flight of the fast mail were re-
ceived, as always, with bursts of en-
thusiasm. The real locomotive draw
ing a long train of freight cars across
the stage also came in for its share of
the applause.
The story of the piece is well known
by every theatre-goer, and does not
need recounting. The plot is involved
and possesses a duly authorized hero,
a william, a heroine and the usual sup
ply of comedians.
Charles Mack as Walter West, Edwin
Houghton. as Philip Martin, Thomas E.
De Pew as Samuel Sleuth, Bertha
Houghton as Mary Martin, Minnette
Manley as Belvy Ann and Mrs Jane
Thompson as Mother Maccaroni are
among those of the cast whose work
was especially good.

of power among the men Of great
organization like the New York police
force. But the more Objectionable ones
can be kept in allegiance, and syste-
matte abuses can be suppressed. 1t
does not seem as though anybody
could doubt that with proper officers
in command the police force of New
York will become an organization very
different from that of today.
It is said that Tammany Hall, work.
ing on Mr.. Cookers suggestion, will
try to bring about the appointment of

sured that violaters of the law can
always be found and that by constant
ly hunting down wrong doing and by
exposing 1t the new administration can
be driven to adopt measures so drastic
as to make it very unpopular. At the
same time, according to this ingenious
theory the people will be made to
realize that the wrongs complained
about cannot be reached, and to see
that Tammany it not at fault.
Perhaps Mr.. Croker and his bench
men may annoy Mr.. Lows admins

But they will hardly be able to do any
real harm. The people are rather too
wide awake to be taken in by Mr., Gro
ker, however cleverly and cunningly
he may plan. Then, too, unless signs

conduct of police affairs so great as

worth notice.

CASH WILL BE NEEDED
FOR TRACK TEAMS SUPPORT

Principals of Worcester High Schools
will meet some afternoon this week
and decision will be reached regard
ing the future of athletics. Money is
needed for the maintenance of the
track team, and there must be some
method devised for raising the neces-
sary cash 1t is said that one of the
principals is firmly opposed to the idea
of the schoolboys having a minstrel
show as has been done in former years
but his objection may be worn away.
Until after the holidays, nothing will
be done by officers of the track team.
It is probable that Coach Thomas E.
Holland will be re-engaged provided
he decides to accept an offer from Wor-
cester High.

Morgan is prices are quoted that. 1t is

LYMAN SCHOOL EoR eoYs

The Trustees Report on the Lyman
School for Boys at Westboro says
at the close of last year as against S27
boys in the school, there were 1852 boys
who had been released from the school
over whom the institution still extended
its authority. Three hundred and sixty
five of these boys are living at home,
1872 are self-supporting in places that
the trustees have chosen for them p
are being boarded, 40 are in situations
of their own choosing, SO are in the
army or navy, So are or have been in
some penal institution, 10 have left the
state. are in other institutions and
the whereabouts of So is unknown.
In the past few years there has been
decided improvement in the records
showing the number of boys who are
classed as doing well. It is held to be,
due largely to the system that was in
augurated in 1895 by which each pro-
bationer from the institution is
watched over during the years of his
minority. The percent of the boys
marked as doing well this year is co.
not quite as satisfactoryas that of last
year when it was placed at SO, yet
vastly better than the 46 per cent, of
1896
Little boys who seem chiefly to be
in need of good homes in order to de-
velop them properly are placed with
private families, and after a year or
so, if they do well are restored TO
their parents provided the parents are
considered fit to care for them.
A chief item of interest In connection
with the Lyman School is the failure
of experiments upon the lines of the
George Junior Republic. Six cottages
applied for self-government charters
which the superintendent had been au-
thorized by the trustees to grant.
The plan, however, was actually tried
in but four of the cottages. Disorder
developed in one cottage and the char
ter was evoked. In the three house
holds remaining under the charters the
system worked admirably for a time.
A great deal of responsibility was
thrown upon the boys who took great
pride in maintaining a proper admin
istration of affairs. Yet the difficulties
to be overcome proved too great The
general sentiment of the school acted
against the republic idea. Each cot
tage, or group of boys under self gov
eminent, had to maintain certain re-
lations to the other cottages or groups
and to the institution as a whole. It
was necessary therefore TO maintain
sort Of federal government in connec-
ton with the local governments to
give uniformity and it was here that
trouble speedily arose. A certain cur
tailment of the power exercised by the
boys had to be made and this soon
robbed the plan of its attractiveness
The boys lost interest in the scheme
and the Junior Republic declined. At
the present time all the charters have
been suspended.
ment are not considered as labor lost
The school has gained in elasticity Of
method and a better understanding
has come about between the boys and
their masters. It is hoped by the man
agement that further experiments may
be tried, though it is held that the
principle under test can never play
anything else than a subordinate part
IN the government Of an institution
like that al Westboro.
