KELLAR MYSTIFIED
A LARGE AUDIENCE

Kellar succeeded in mystifying a
house full of people at the Worcester
Theatre last night with feats of magic,
one or two of which were new to Wor
cester. His show in the main is the
same as that which he presented last
season, but fully enjoyable and as hard
to see through as one could wish. One
of his new tricks consisted in catching
several fish on the end of a line ap-
parently from mid-air. In order to
prove that they were real fish he
placed them in a glass globe Of water
and has them passed among the au-
dience.
Some Of the details of the trick where
ayoung lady is made to float in space
without visible means of support have
been much improved as well as details
in general. The show, on the whole. is
one of the best of its kind ever seen
in Worcester and well worth the two
hours spent in witnessing it.

our Cast.

There was Il case before the probate
Judge last Saturday which appealed
strongly to the sympathies Of the
court. 1t was a fifteen year old boy
by the name Of Day who has surely
had a hard life If not 4 long one,
About five years ago the boy was
given, by his mother, to an orphan
asylum in Illinois. The authorities
Of the institution placed him with Il
family by the name Of Kreihbiel near
EFdlstead who shortly turned him over
to another family who he says, were
SO cruel to him that he left them and
went to the territory, From there he
thought he would go back to Illinois
where his mother was, Upon arriv-
ing there he found that she had mar
ried and moved to Hutchinson, He
then set out to come to her here hop
Ing to find Il place for refuge from
the storms that so early and severely
have beset him, Arriving here he
found Il mother that would not have
him about, drove him away and finally
applied to the probate Judge to have
him sent TO the reform school. While
she was in the court room she cried
and wanted to kiss him good by, but
he told her, No. He said it was no
use for her tosnivel around that way,
and he wanted nothing more to do
with her. lie would keep as far away
from her as possible saying she had
never been Il mother to him. or
course this is mainly the boys story,
and it may be he Is bad, incorrigibie
lad, but the peculiar thing Is, that he
did not impress the judge AS being
such. The Judge seemed to take Il
liking for him and has determined
to try to find him a home among good
people, and as soon us he Is thus pro-
vide for will get him out Of the re-
form school where he was sent pend
ing such arrangements.

tlon that viii appear In the forthcom
Ing report of the postmaster genera
for the appropriation OF 90, 0000 00f0l
the malntalnance and extension Of
free delivery routes during the next
fiscal year beginning Julyl, 1902, will
be received without any forbldding
crtlclsm or opposition.
Mr., A. w. Machen, who has had
charge Of the free rural delivery sys.
tenn since 1t started five years ago,
with an appropriation Of $40, 900, pre-.
diets that in very few years every
farmer In the land will have his mail
delivery at his door, The spread OF
the service has demonstrated that
IL will ultimately have the most i'm
pOrtant effect on the business 0ppor-
tunitles Of the farmer, and IL will
bring the tradesman Of the cities in
such intimate relations with the farm
Ing community that gradually we
shall see some remarkable results in
our domestic commercial world. IL
would be impossible now TO deprive
those parts of the country that have
become habituated TO the free rural
delivery system Of It's advantages.
The outcry against any attempt to
do away with 1t would soon become Il
political issue that would have to be
reckoned with promptly. The system
has come to stay and in ten years
will be one of the most important, If
not the most extensive, means Of
communication ever known In any
civilized country.
The demand for the service has al
ways been far in advance of the abil-
ity Of the department to comply.
There are now over 5000 applications
for new routes on file. About 300 new
routes arc added each month, an II Is
estimated that It will he two years at
the present rate before the depart
ment can catch up with the pending
applications, by that time there
will be an even larger number on file,
1t would not be surprising to see
the rural free delivery service grow
to Snch proportions that 1t will be
made a separate branch Of the post
Office department, requiring the crc-
alton Of Il fifth assistant postmaster
general.
