HOAR DECLINES.
Gives His Reason For Not Eulogizing
Mckinley.

Worcester, Mass, Oct 2s.-Mayor
Philip j. O'Connen sent to the city
council the letter of Senator George T.
Hoar. asking to be permitted to decline
the invita- ton to eulogize President Nc
kinley.
In the course of his letter Senator
Hoar refers to the fact that he will be
extremely busy during the next few
weeks, but If business were the only
reason he should endeavor to overcome
it. Continuing he says:
But 1 ought to be frank and VIII
state another and even stronger reason
I think the eulogy of the president
should be delivered by some person who
was in full accord with him upon the
principal political measure of his adj
ministratfon. l never questioned MS
absolute sincerity, his devotion to the
public welfare, his love of liberty and
his desire to do his duty as God gave
him power to see it 1 was fully in ac-
cord with him on the great financial
measures with which he was identified
But, as you know 1 differed from him
and his administration and my opinion
on that subject has been strengthened
and not weakened in the lapse OF time
in regard to his policy in dealing with
the Philippine islands,

M'CABE CONDEMNS CURB.
Says Ft. Scott People Ignore His
Orders.

City Engineer McCabe yesterday con-
demned 300 feet of Fort Scott curling
which was delivered on West Eighth
avenue. The curbing was supplied I'M
der the contract of R. B. kepley.
1t was found that the curbing was
defective in many ways, being OF bad
surface, poor grade rock, and INSULT
cient dimensions The Fort Scott peo-
pie have yet made no move toward
removing the defective curbing, and
Mr. McCabe thinks that an effort is be-
ing made to force him to use the poor
curbing.
II want to say right now" said Mr..
McCabe, that if anyone petitions for
Fort Scott curbing next year, want to
have something to say about it We
have had a great deal of trouble with
those people down there at Fort Scott
/ am not Directing so much to the ma
terial. Fort Scott sandstone of good
quality is all right for residence streets.
It seems to harden by exposure to tie
weather. But the people who handle
that stone seem to be trying to beat the
city al every opportunity Some time
ago condemned two entire carloads of
Fort Scott cur bling. 1t was three weeks
before good stone was supplied to take
the place of the stone l condemned In
many ways the Fort Scott people have
manifested a disposition to force me to
use poor stone rather than delay the
work of paving by waiting for good
stone
THE poor stone out on West Eighth
has been delivered in the lot for the
first two blocks, just where we need to
use it at once. 1t will greatly delay the
pavement of that street if we have to
wait for a month or so for good stone
to take the place of what I have re-
jected-"
1t is likely that r. B. Kepley will
continue to act as agent for the Fort
Scott curling even after he leaves To-
peka to live on his farm near Kilme-.
Mr. Kepley has failed to be in town
enough during the past summer to at
tend to the setting and handling of the
curb stones of which he is supposed to
be in charge, and City Engineer Nc
Cabe has been forced to hire men and
teams. and push the work ahead in
spite of Mr.. kepley's absence.

HOW TO DO GOOD.
Ladies OF Maccabees Make Plans
For Charity Work.

Thfrty-five women. members of the
Ladies of the Maccabees, have made
plans for carrying on a work of charity
among the poor of Topeka during the
approaching winter months 1t is pro-
posed by them to hold semi-monthly
meetings at which they will lend their
efforts toward supplying with clothing
such as are in destitute circumstances
The idea is entirely a novel one, but
will prove none the less helpful to those
who otherwise would be obliged to ask
the city or county for assistance
The women will first begin making a
comfort for the Topeka Orphans home
Then they will donate others to the rest
of the charitable institutions here and
after that attention will be given to
making over and repairing old clothing
I'VE expect to make the comforts first,
said a member of the organization
Monday evening, then we will have es-
tablished ourselves so that 1 am sure
we shall have plenty of work to occupy
our time A great many of US have
clothing that our children have out
grown and that can be done over and
made good for the use of poor children.
Then if the mother of a family has
fallen sick and has been unable to keep
her children properly clothed. the Ia
dies will do that work for her, either
going to her home and working or haV-
ing the garments brought to them We
intend to carry on this systematically
and shall hold meetings twice a month
at the homes of the members of the Or
ganization."
The Ladies of the Maccabees have a
membership of IS, but 1t Is expected
that each one will bring with her a
friend. The first session of the season
will be held next Thursday October 81,
