BOTH COMPANIES WILL
BE GRANTED A FRANCHISE
Special to The Spy.

Leicester, Nov. 24-The matter of
granting the two roads that have Pc
toned the town for a franchise to ls-
cate tracks in the town of Leicester has
been the subject of much discussion in
Leicester ever since the selectmen gave
the first hearing on the question. The
matter has been discussed by everyone
and in the village of Rochdale the resi-
dents Of that part of the town who will
receive the benefit of the road, every
little point in the discussion has been
weighed thoroughly, and it is has been
asserted that the matter of granting
the franchise had more than little to
do with the recent election in the Sixth
Representative district. 1t has been
claimed by many that because Mr..
Boardman's views about granting of
franchises were not in accord with the
ideas of the voters of both Greenville
and Rochdale. he was defeated.
AS to which company Will be granted
a franchise there is little doubt for IT
is generally believed that when the two
companies comply with the wishes of
the town they will both be granted a
franchise. The question is. which COM
pany will be allowed to build the spur
track to Leicester.
This question alone is of vital inter-
est to people living in Leicester Centre
and in Rochdale and GreenYille. Both
companies are willing TO build a road
to Leicester Centre but the voters want
the franchise granted TO the company
that will give the best service.
Readers OF The Spy have been fire.
quently informed Of the exact state of
affairs, since the franchise movement
was started.

HIST0RY-MAKING EVENT
FOR THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

Philadelphia, Nov. 4-Members of Cath
olic organizations and Catholic communi-
ties generally throughout the country are
much interested in the approaching con-
vention of the American Federation of
Catholic Societies of the United States,
which will open in Cincinnati Dec. 10.
They regard it as a history making event
for the church in America The fedora
ton has the approval and cooperation Of
! the most distinguished prelates in the
United States. Bishop McFaul of New
Jersey was one of its most earnest pro-
moters, and is now its spiritual director.
Preparations for the organization of the
movement have been under way for a
long time, but it was not until August
last at Long Branch, that an organiZa-
ton was finally effected. p. J. Flatley Of
Boston is member of the executive
board.
Since that time interest in the move
ment has been widespread Every Cath
Ollie organization in the country has noti-
fled the national officers of its intention to
participate in the convention. The ia
tiOnal officers are in this city, and a corps
of clerks has been employed for weeks
answering inquiries and making arrange
ments for the Cincinnati gathering. 1t is
believed that the convention will number
over 1900 delegates and the city of Gin
cinnati is making elaborate preparations
to receive and entertain them. Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey, New York, Massachu-
sets. Ohio, Maryland, Kentucky, Illinois
ana lnulana VIII De largely represented.
The convention will be attended by an
elaborate street parade of uniformed
Catholic knights of America and other
similar societies 1t will be inaugurated
by a pontifcal mass at the Cincinnati
Cathedral, at which Archbishop Elder
will preside. Ri Rev. Bishop Horstmann
of Cleveland will celebrate the mass. and
the sermon will be preached by another
prominent bishop of the country.
It is expected the convention will make
some positive declarations upon matters
of current national interest, such as the
position of the church IN the Philippines.
II will effect permanent organization for
future work. and its officers will probably
include some of the most prominent and
conspicuous Catholics in the country.

QUINAPOXET

"A number of boys were skating on
the Quinapoxet River Saturday morn
ing. The river has been frozen over
two days but most of the people think
the ice is not thick enough yet to be
safe. One lad, more daring than the
others, challenged the rest to go across
the river. Three of the lads started
and one got across in safety but the
daring one went through the ice and
was pulled out of the water by one of
his comrades.
The C. G. Wood Manufacturing
Co.'s mill on Mill Street will be shut

WORST STORM OF THE
WINTER STILL RAGING

Chatham, Mass, Nov. 24.-The worst
storm of the winter has been in prog
ress here all day, the wind blowing
from the northeast As miles an hour.
The wind is still prevailing but
changed at sunset to northwest.
The life savers along the shore from
Monomoy Point to Provincetown re-
port the gale as very severe, with q
high tide which has washed away
miles of the beaches and made sad in
roads into the headlands at many
places.
At south Beach the high tide and
heavy seas have cut away the sand
embankment for many yards. The
patrolmen at the life saving stations
are having a hard time of it and are
scarcely able to walk over their pa
trolls. So far as is known there are no
wrecks.
The gale has been very severe at
Hyannis and vessels that are har-
barred there have had great difficulty
in preventing their being driven ashore.

Rev. DR.. Brady Talks Plainly in
Answer to the Query "What Do
You Think Of Mrs. Cunning and
Her St. CzoIgosz?"
SERMON ON THE MOUNT GOOD
READING FOR MRS. CUNNING
In Expressing His Opinion of the
Board of Trade Smoke Talks,
DR. Brady Said That if Properly
Conducted, Much Can Be Ac-
cOmp!ished

Rev. DR.. James Boyd Brady, pastor
of Grace M. E. Church, gave answers
last night to pithy questions that have
been propounded to him in the pas'
week. What Do You Think Of Mrs
cunning and Her Saint Czolgosz?" and
What is Your Opinion Of the Board OF
Trade Smoke Talks?" were queries that
DR.. Brady gave earnest replies to.
DR.. Brady, in referring to Mrs. Cum
ing, who gained notoriety in the pasl
week because of the publicity gwen a
paper she read before the Ladies UNI
tartan League Wednesday regarding
the personal traits of CZolgosz ana es-
pecially the right to call him martyr
treated his subject clearly.
He said, in part: "Czolgosz was lle
greatest sinner of the age. anyone
Who calls him a martyr encourages the
commission of the worst kind OF CRIME
I consider that Mrs. Cunning is exceed
ingly out of place so far as her remarks
are concerned. Evidently the lady
needs to read the sermon on the mount
and guide her utterances according Ia
the same.
"The world is too far advanced
toward its real mission and master 10
permit any such expression as that Ut
tered by Mrs. Cunning to become either
practicable or popular We are happy
to think that CZolgoszism, which is the
worst form of anarchy, is so universal
ly abhorred in the United States and
all civilized countries that there is nc
danger of Mrs. Cunning gaining many
followers. -
Mrs. Cunning committed not only a
If her blunder was believed as truth, il
would wreck our municipal tranquility
and Republican prosperity"
Board of Trade smoke talks were
treated as follows My understand
ing is that Board of Trade smoke talks
are chiefly for the purpose of bringing
merchants and manufacturers togeth-
er for a good social time, and especial
ly for an interchange of thoughts con
corning what is good for their mutual
prosperity and the general welfare OF
Worcester Such a meeting, if proper
ly conducted, cannot but be for the
benefit Of those who take part there
in.
1T gives every man who has supe-
rior thoughts, whether derived from
observations or experiences, a chance
to communicate them to his brother
merchants. BY this means many i'm
portant intellectual commercial visions
that otherwise might lie buried in the
brain of the thinker and go with hin
to the grave, are transmitted to his
fellows. and so go on doing good after
he is gone. In other words, the supe-
rior thinking of each man and mer'
chant can be transmitted from one tt
anotfe r until the whole body is in
struGted and inspired by the precious
intellectual possessions of each.
"If the smoke talks are conducted
with this in view as the main issue
they cannot but be, Notwithstanding
the smoke, of extensive and perpetual
utility in the promotion of the manu-
featuring and commercial interests u

DOCTORS ALL AGREE THAT
THE WORST is OVER.
Say There is No Reason Now Why the President
Should Not Recover Rapidly.

Buffalo, Sept. 1e.-The result Of the
morning conference was made known
about o'clock, as the doctors came
from the house, although it was some
time after that that the bulletin ap-
peared. The faces of the doctors clear
~ indicated their satisfaction at the
condition of affairs. AS DR.. Roswell
Parke came to his carriage he paused
long enough to give a general survey
of the conditions prevailing
The condition of the president this
morning is entirely satisfactory" said
he. The bulletin will state this, and
it sums up the situation The presi-
dent spent the most comfortable night
he has had since the shooting. He
slept well and when he was awake he
was CHEEKY and even chatty.'
DO you regard the president as en-
tirely out of danger?' DR.. Parke was
asked.
Il do not want to go that far. What
can be said is that unless there are I'M
expected complications we expect him
to recover"
Have you considered the prospect
of his removal?"
mo, it is too early for that, but
when he is moved, he probably will go
to Washington"
DR.. Parke referred to the fact that
and gave results such as the medical
fraternity would be expected to pass
upon in the case of any citizen.
1T would be well to have it stated,
he added that the president is not
being deprived of benefits of private
citizenship. He is being treated ex-
actly as any other citizen would be
