The up-to-date bracelet. however. is
a more stylish affair than its predeces-
sor, having loops and ends edged with
diamond or pearl ferrets hanging from
the left wrist, while a Bizarre ornament
clasps the band itself close round the

may be said of the black velvet neck

TREATMENT OF CONSUMPTION

The Interstate Medical Journal calls
attention to the growing tendency to
treat consumption at home. There is
a reaction against the indiscriminate
urging Of consumptives to seek other
climates than that of their residence.
The resources at hand for combating
the disease are being more and more
studied and developed. 1t happens, at
this time, furthermore, that vigorous
protests are being made by the physi-
clans of Colorado and California
against the coming to these states of
hordes of consumptives. There is also
vigorous complaint in some quarters
because consumptives are received on
trains without any attempt being made
to separate them from other passen-
gers. Open air, life, good food, hydro
pathy. and conditions that bring great
est comfort are advocated for con-
sumption. a better way will be found.
the journal suggests. TO treat con-
sumption than that Of dispensing the
victims Of the disease over the land,

nocuous than smallpox. but more vide

MR.. FLETCHER'S PLATFORM

The moral victory won by the nom
nation of Edward f. Fletcher for
mayor is one that should be appreciat-
ed in the city of Worcester. In the
first place the office sought the man.
The Republicans had finally to face the
responsibility of selecting a man in
stead of choosing between several can
didates who were clamoring for the
office They have had to accept the
principle that the mudslinging cam
paign is not the kind that the Re
publicans of Worcester wish.
1t is a good thing for the city to
know that both candidates for mayor
are men of irreproachable character
and that they are capable. Mr.. Flet-
cher has taken for his platform the po-
sition that The Spy took last year, es-
pecially last spring. 1t is a position
in which the Republicans of Worcester
can support him. This is his platform:
There shall be no mud singing in
this campaign, if I can prevent it,
No words of mine shall injure so
capable and so good a man as Mayor
O'Connell. l had rather lose this fight
than that anything of this nature
should enter into this campaign
1t has won him more votes than
any other stand he could take. The
sentiment of the City Of Worcester has
undergone d revolution within a week.
Today the Republicans are confident
of victory. All sections are mingling
together and earnestly working. The
necessity for crying for harmony has
passed. The three Republican news
papers are giving the Republican tic
ket an unqualified support.
Mayor O'Connell himself must recog-
nize the tribute paid to his character
by the platform that Mr.. Fletcher has
adopted and by the tendency of events.
Tt will be a prouder thing for him to
meet defeat at election under such cir
moralization and strife among his op-
ponents and to their vituperation and
abuse of his personal character and
ability.
No matter what the outcome Of this
election may be, Worcester Republi-
cans are ~ DelteI form lldn any OIL
them expected to be al this time. It
cannot be a case for great sorrow in
the Democratic party that the Repub-
licans have ceased for the present the
fractional pickering. For what profit
has It been to the Democratic organiza e
ton to nominally elect a congressman
and a mayor. Congressman Tnayer
and Mayor O'ConneI have benefited
by the dissension.

PUSS ON EXHIBITION

The cat show is apparently gaining
in popularity. The rearing of Angora
eats and other fancy strains has be-
come a considerable industry, and ami
mails that have the features which are
supposed to indicate high development
| command such prices that the majority
| of householders must be content still to
entertain at their firesides ordinary
cats, like those that for years and
| years have purred when stroked the
| right way and have not disdained to
hunt mice for exercise and pleasure.
| 1t is the interest taken in the breed
! ing of fancy, long haired cats, proba-
bly,, that makes the cat show possible
Yet the claims for attention of the
common house cats are by no means
| ignored.
The second annual cat show at Ro-
chester, N. Y, has just been held. 1t
was attended by crowds during the
entire four days that it was in pro-
| gress. The show was originated by
! the Wellesley College Club of Roches-
| ter, and the Beresford Cat Club, and
the profits are applied to a fund for
establishing at Wellesley College a
| scholarship to be open to worthy
| young women of Rochester who do not
! possess means to pay for a college edu-
! cation. Many very aristocratic cats
were on exhibition, along with cats
of the familiar sort. There was a
oil 60 ha aot
which was won by an animal known
as the backyard fence type. Perhaps,
had the prizes been awarded, accord
ing to fighting qualities, all the hon
ors of the show would have gone to it.
Cleveland, o., is getting ready for
cat show. z. n. Barker of Albany, N.
Y, who is considered a leading au-
thOrity on cats, is to be one of the
judges. He declares that there is many
a prize winning cat in the back yard.
Another authority says that a good cat
may be long or short-haired. The an
imals are classified according to color.
The white cat with blue eyes stands
first in rank. Then comes the white
cat with golden eyes and then the one
with green eyes. The black cat should
be all black. and have orange colored
eyes. The Maltese cat, too, should
have orange eyes. A Tabby cat.
among fanciers, is one that is striped
or notified. Asia furnishes the best
tabby. The person who owns a STA
mese eat that has blue eyes, a buff
body and chocolate colored legs, face
and tail should be very happy 1t is
expected that cats will be present at
the Cleveland show from all parts of
the United States.
1t may seem nonsensical to many
that so much attention should be paid
to cats. But, remembering how natur-
al it is for almost everyone to have
his little hobby, one should be gener-
GUS The cat hobby is innocent and
harmless enough. Besides, puss has
ever been popular, and, all things con-
sidered, it has not shown itself an I'M
worthy net

MAINE sPoRTsMEN ALARMED

Alarm is felt in Maine, it is said, lest
i, snita of the present laws regulating
shooting, the game for which the state
is famous is threatened with eXterml =
nation. The board of directors Of the
Maine sportsmens Association met IN
Augusta. Monday, and made arrange
mcnts for holding a public meeting in
Bangor to discuss the question Of rec
ommending to the next Legislature the
massage of a law to impose q tax or
license fee on all hunters in the Maine
woods who are not residents of the
state.
1t is suggested that every non-resi-
dent sportsman who comes to MainG
to shoot be taxed SO. The present
laws are violated, a great amount of
game having been taken from the
state. this year, illegally. The com
plant is made, also, that many hunt
ers bring their supplies, do not have
registered guides in accordance with
law. and. in fact, do not spend any
money whatever while in Maine. 1t is
estimated that the proposed fee would
add $4,000 to the game revenue of
Maine.
No one can blame the people of
Maine for doing all in their power to
protect the game. 1t is to be hoped.
however that the motive behind the
present agitation really is to save the
deer rather than to increase the states
