O'GORMAN'S FRIEND
GAVE HIM THE SAKE

John OGorman, a laborer, who says
he lives in Worcester, through the
kind ministrations of a friend, was
landed at Station 1 last night and
booked for drunkenness. He asked the
friend to take him to Station / for
a lodging. The friend got him as far as
the Waldo House when O'Gorman
went down and out. Driver Edward F.
wilson took John in out of the cold
and he was booked for drunkenness.
AS it is his first offense he will prob
ably escape this morning by having
a short conversation with Col. e. J.
Russell, the probation officer.

Municipal Council of Havana by
a Vote of 10 to 8 Accept the
Bid of S. P. Mckinney and R. T.
RoCkeby of Jersey City
DADY STILL HOPES
TO GET THE JOB
Amount Involved is Over Ten
Million Dollars and the Con-
tract is Paving Streets and
Constructing the Sewer in City
of Havana
of Havana

Havana, Nov. 10.-The municipal
council of Havana has decided by a
vote of 10 to to accept the bid of S. P.
McGivney and R. T. Rockeby of Jer-
sey City, which is $40 1893, O15,99 for the
Havana sewering and paving contract.
Considerable feeling was manifested
during the session over the circulation
lof a pamphlet insinuating that the Nc
Givney-Rockeby bid was really the bid
of the engineers department.
The matter of letting out the contract
has been the subject of considerable
discussion, and of some correspondence
between Gov. Gen. Wood and the mu-
nicipal council On two occasions the
council has voted not to let the con
tract as the specifications and bidding
were irregular. Those voting in favor
of accepting the McGivney-R ockeby
bid explain that they so voted because
they considered Gen. Woods letter di-
recting the acceptance of some one OF
the bids a military order.
Michael J. Dady arrived in Havana
this morning. He is still hopeful of
being awarded the contract.
The Democratic party has adopted
Gen. Bartolme Maso as their candidate
for the presidency of Cuba.
The papers assert that Senior
Tamayo, secretary of state and gov
eminent has been challenged to fight
a duel by a member of the Union Club
whom, it is said, Senior Tamayo and a
friend assaulted at the close of the re-
cent banquet given by the Cuban So
ciety to the visiting Chileans. Senior
Tamayo was detained by the police,
but ultimately released by the civil
governor.
La Lucha, bemoaning the incident
says:
There yet remain several more
stages to be passed in the reconstruc-
ton of the country. Perhaps they are
the most difficult stages, especially in
a condition of affairs where people are
not actuated by conviction, but by
passion, personal likes and dislikes
and mutual distrust. Such laundering
as has been shown by our officials
would be incomprehensible unless we
decide to class them with the crowd
they are supposed to direct and say
that as types they are on a par with
the rest. They can never be qualified to
direct the destinies of the Cuban ma
ton"

HARVARD MAN HURT

Cambridge. Nov. 1O.-The Harvard eleven
returned to Cambridge from Philadelphia
this morning. All the men are in good
condition except Ristine, who again has
hurt his shoulder and wrenched his knee.
The players did not break training at
all this year, as they did last season
after the Pennsylvania game. and the
regular practice in preparation for the
Yale game will be taken up at once. The
squad will do very little light work to-
morrow. but on Tuesday the regular line
ups win begin. The practice will be Sc
cret almost every day from now until
the Yale game. The Harvard coaches do
not feel much encouraged, as Pennsyl-
vania proved unexpectedly weak.

THE Chaperone,' with Digby Bell as

Theatre tonight. Digby Bell is well
known in Worcester both as a comic
opera man and in vaudeville, and in
1.-THE Chaperone" he is said to have a
part especially suited to his style OF
work. THE Chaperone" is a musical
comedy with plenty of bright songs
and an unusual amount Of humor, and
some of the lyrics have become popu-
lar since last season.
Supporting Mildred Holland in THE
Power Behind the Throne" at the Wor-
cester Theatre tomorrow night and
Wednesday afternoon and night, are
Lillian Norris, Rita ONeal, Camille

Denman Thompson will be the Josh
ua Whitcomb' in the PREDICTION of his
celebrated play, 1.-The Old Home
stead" at the Worcester Theatre Fri
day and Saturday This is a pleasant
announcement for theatregoers, for it
can be justly said that Mr. Thompson
stands alone in his delineation of the
typical Yankee farmer as he is in real
life.
A large audience is expected to be in
attendance at Lothrop's Opera House
tonight to witness the production of
IAN Actors Romance" with j. Har-
vey Cook and Lottie Church, as the
stars. That this play grows in favor
with each presentation IS shown by the
attention paid by audiences through
out the country. ]. Harvey Cook seems
to be particularly adapted to the part
assigned him that of Harold Daven-
port, an actor, and the acting of Miss
Lascelles as Louise, Davenports wife is
said to gain in force with each presen-
tation. Miss Church displays her
marked ability as Florence Hastings
and Miss Ruby Erwood as the su-
brette, is more brilliant than ever.
With such a cast it is not surprising
that the play has won appreciation
wherever it has been presented.
The bill at the Park Theatre this
week is made up of eight strong vau-
deville acts, the great American Bio
graph being the principal feature. An
entire new list of moving pictures will
be shown, including some superb views
of the funeral procession of the late
President Mckinley. The two Schrodes,
the famous acrobats, late of Hanlon's
'Superba," will present their clever
act. Al and Mamie Anderson the pop
ular producers of negro comedy will be
seen in new songs and dances. Emer-
soE and Omega viii present their
laughable skit entitled Don't Notice
It" Nudge and Morton, Melrose Bros,
st. Laurent duo, will be seen in new
acts. Daily matinees will be given.

Seth Low will not have as fair a chance
TO redeem the city government of New
York from the misdeeds of Tammany as
did Mayor Strong when he entered office
seven years ago, and far from as fair a
chance to do good as Mayor Van Wyck
has had to corrupt the municipal admin
istration. His term will be for two years,
a year shorter than Strongs. and half as
long as that of Van Wyck. He cannot
sweep the offices clean to replace the heel
ers with competent men, chosen for their
merit, for a civil service law has blanketed
the whole city government, in some of the
lower ranges Of clerical services, with a
mantle of protection. While his Jurfsdic-
ton Is much wider than that of Strony
covering five boroughs instead of two his
powers are less than Van Wyck has en-
toyed for the greater part of his term,

In large part at the checking of the Tam

city's limit of Indebtedness reached and
thus every channel for extra improvements
closed save by special assessments until
economy permits the reduction of the debt.
The city is now burdened with an annual
interest charge of $4,000. 00O. in conse-
Quence of the extravaganza of past admin
istrations. Part OF this burden Is due TO
the effort of the Strong government to cor
rect Tammany's negligence. Schools sew
ers, payements. water mains and the like
were long overdue. and the effort to catch
up sent the big city into debt at rapid
rate. The process was facilitated by the
Van Wyck regime. during which the neces-

Food Prices Rising.

It Is not pleasant prospect which con-
fronts the householder of moderate means
as the winter approaches with the prices
of practically all food stuffs rising steadily
There is scarcely a commodity of table con-
sumption which has not advanced in cost
during the past three or four months. Fresh
and canned vegetables, all grain products
and meats are still rising The cause OF
the trouble is believed by some to be the
drouth of last summer which interfered
seriously with the gardens and the grain
fields and pasturage. Potatoes came out
of the ground in many regions only half a
crop, while green truck shrank percepti-
bly, in volume. On the great western farms
the drouth was a serious affiiction. The
corn crop was total failure In some parts
of the country, and in other parts only a
fraction of a crop was harvested. The cat
tie were out of pasturage and were fed on
corn and later on wheat, which happens
TO be normally abundant this year With
wheat going into the managers naturally the
price is rising in the markets and flour is
becoming more costly. The meat scale has
Jumped upward in consequence of the diff
ficulty of feeding the cattle and the packers

advance to put up their wholesale and re-

Of the same law and the lack of cheap grain
foods for the hens has added to the cost
of eggs. There apparently is no way to cope
with such situation. 1t cannot be attrib-
uted to the workings of man. but is the d.
rect result of visitation of nature. The
only remedy for the man in narrow cir
cumstances is to be unusually careful OF his
expenditures and to reckon upon a possible
in he
winter. Fortunately there is an abundance
of work for willing, capable hands, and un-
less a great and unexpected financial de-
preston occurs to check the activity OF

other railroad organizations. The develop
ments Of the next few hours may deter
mine the question of a serious disturbance
OF the railroad business. If the general
bodies Of railroad men indorse the position
of the switchmen and the railroad compa-
nies remain firm in their refusal to grant
the request serious blockade is imminent.
This would affect practically every line of
business, for the shipments through Pitts
burg have an important bearing upon many
lines Of manufacturing. It would be de-
plorable for the railroads to be confronted
at this busy season with a strike over q
question Of wages, which is ordinarily so
easy of adjustment.
