THE PETITION WILL BE
CONSIDERED WEDNESDAY

Leicester, Nov 10-The selectmen of
this town will hear the petition of the
Worcester ard Southbridge Street Rail-
way Company for franchise rights to To-
cate tracks in the town of Leicester at
the Rochdale engine house Wednesday.
There is strong rivalry between the Wor-
cester and Hartford and the Worcester
and Southbridge Street Railways to OBJ
tain this franchise.
The selectmen of the town are aware
that the granting of franchise to a rail-
way company is a delicate undertaking,
and the railway people are assured that
this petition will not be granted unless
they comply with all the demands of the
town of Leicester. AS told in The Spy
some time ago, the franchise will be
granted to the road that will give the
best service to the town.
Both companies appear willing to build
a spur track to Leicester. There have
been numerous hearings in the past year,
and all the petitioners want charter to
lay a few miles of track in Rochdale.
What Leicester wants and needs is an
electric line from Rochdale to Leicester
Centre. In that way, and no other, the
whole town would be connected.
If there were an electric road the town
would be saved the expense of paying for
transportation of school children and
voters. As far as is known the Worcester
and Hartford people are willing to make
as satisfactory arrangements as are the
Worcester and Southbridge officials. In
order to secure the much coveted fran
chise. the Worcester and Southbridge
men will have to throw out more tempt
ing bait than their rivals have.

four hundred that might be cited. The
first is II. Samuel xiv, IA: For we

specter of persons, yet does He devise
the means that His banished be not

THE third is also a word of Christ's
Until he find it, referring to the
bringing into the fold of the one
hundredth sheep and thus making the
fold complete. This was the text
chosen by our brother but not preached
upon. He did not say of it, though,
that it was one of the strongest, if not
the strongest affirmations of Universal
ism in the Bible, and as such we will
let it stand.
And the fourth passage of the Scrip
lures that to me conclusively teaches
Universalism is Paurs word as found
in Romans viii; 20-21: For the crea-
ton was subjected to vanity, not of
its own will, but by reason of him who
subjected it in hope that the creation
itself also shall be delivered from the

Scripture we will enter into the argu-

in rearing our temple of faith we build
lit upon the foundation of the apostles
and prophets, Jesus. himself being the
chief cornerstone.
In closing it is perhaps only just to
pulpits irrespective of UNCONVENTIONAL
lines is growing more comprehensive
and vital We Universalits are not
spending all our time talking about the
outcome of things, nor are our ortho-
dox friends limiting their vision to the
idepravity and doom of a man.

of the faith and of the knowledge of
the Son of God unto a perfect man."

Would Hardly Be Recognized To-
day With its Fresh Coat of
Paint, Modern Piazza and New
and Up-to-date Windows
ONCE KNOWN FROM THE
ATLANTIC TO THE PACIFIC
Was Built Before the Days of
the Revolution and Three Gen.
erations of Abbott's Have
Served as HoStS-No Longer
Used as a Tavern

Special to The Spy
Holden, Nov. TO- - The improvements
which Austin Rice has been making lately
on his house are about completed, and
one must now look twice to recognize in
the freshly painted building, with its
broad, modern piazza and new windows,
the old Abbott Tavern, one of the historic
cal landmarks of Massachusetts,, known
in its day from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
This house, built in 1863 for the purpose
of a hotel, was kept by three successive
generations of Abbotts, and was the most
famous hostelry in and around Holden for
over 100 years. The first landlord was
John Abbott; he was succeeded by his
son, Capt. Lemuel, and he in turn by his
son, Major Chenery Abbott. Though over
a score of years have passed since the
aged landlord closed his doors on the last
departing guest, there are still many who
remember the kindly humor of Holden s
last great innkeeper.
The route of the Twitchell line of
coaches from Keene, N H., to Worcester
was through Holden, and the hotel was
naturally successful from the start. I'm
der Major Abbotts management its repu-
tation began TO extend until it became
quite the fashionable thing for parties of
young people from Worcester to drive out
to the tavern and enjoy dances in the big
hall, which is still the same as in Revo-
luUOnary Gays.
But it was not this that made the place
famous it was the possession of the
gifted cook, Abigail Rice, whose game
dinners were known far and near, and
above all the peculiar flavor of the beer
brewed by the Abbotts and the flip
prepared by them. Alice Morse Earle
says in stage Coach and Tavern Days, "
no flip was more widely known and more
respected than the famous brew of Alb
bolts Tavern at Holden, Mass. 1t is said
, to have been famous from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, and few stage coaches or
travellers ever passed that door without
adding to it's praises and thereafter
spreading its reputation.
The long hall of this old place has wit
messed many interesting scenes-the old
fashioned dances of the gay young peo-
pie, the animated discussions of the poll
ttcians of the Revolutionary and Cavil
wars, the secret meetings of the Knights
Templar of Central Worcester County,
which body was organized in that room
and, if walls could speak, we might laugh
ourselves at the wonderful jokes and
tales for which the last genial landlord
was famous But its day is past-all the
Abbotts are gone the great sheds which
served as a hosiery for all the stage
coaches around Holden have been torn
down, the building modernized-and all
that is left is the memory of one of the
most famous taverns of the country.
