Obituary
CHARLES U. MARCY.

MT. Charles G. Marcy who died June s, al his home Dread Place, Worcester, from paralysis, was we'll known in this vicinity. He was born in Woodstock, and lived in Putnam several years. He leaves a wife; son, Eugene Marcy, of Southbridge; sister, Mrs. Ella Bar nard, of Bridgeport, Ct., and grand son, Ralph Eaton of Pittsburg, Pa.
 MT. Marcy was talented musician, and while living in Putnam was prom- inent in the old Mechanics Band, be- ing it's first leader.
 For several seasons he was leader of band and orchestra for Leaviit's Bell Ringers.
 For the last thirty-three years he made his home in Worcester, where he conducted printing establishment, besides attending to his musical duties in band and orchestra. For ten years he was a member of the Worcester Brass Band. He was a prominent member of the Musicians Union and Of the Typographical Union.
 MT. Marcy took a prominent part, some ten years ago, in the formation and building up of the present Social ist Party, and he has been the eandi- date ef that party for Mayor of Wer- cester and Lieutenant Governor of Mas sachnsett>. For years his office WAS the unofficial headquarters for all the Socialist lecturers who came 10 Worcester.
 MT. Marcy was an able student of Economies, and with heart big for humanity, and optimistic for the fu- tnre, spared neither himself nor his worldly substance in aiding the rising tide of Economic Evolution, and the ushering in of "the good time coming .
 The funeral was held Thursday af ternoon, june II, al the home, and was conducted by MT. Marcy friend, Rev. Elliot White, an Episcopal clergyman of Worcester, who has suffered much for his sociological views.
 Human Brotherhood Is the great eth ieai ideal which makes International Socialism such d vital world move ment Human Brotherhood can never be reality except on basis of an eco mic equality of opportunity such as So. cialism stands for.
 Socialists call each other the world eeer--"eomrade.
 Mr. Marcy was a true comrade.

BIG ENTERT AlNMENT
Shop Boys Will Put Up Real Show
Next TueSdav

The nnachinists of the Great North
ern Shops are arranging for an en-
tertainment at the Armory next Tues
day evening, April 7th, which promises
to be interesting from start to finish,
as it is entirely out of the ordinary
and the participants are for the most
part local, and thus the interest will
be the more intense.
The program is not at the time of
writing this, entirely completed but so
far as arranged is partly as follows:
Among the athletic events win be
two wrestling matches In which the
participants will be Chas. McKenna,
and the Terrible Greek in one match
and Otto Teske and George Wood in
another.
There will also be several sparring
contests three of which are lined up
as follows: LIST, J. Peterson and J.
Erickson; I'd, Don Stephenson and R,
Witte; Sd, Jas. Quillan, of Chicago and
George Policeman, of Cincinnati.
Among the musicians who will take
part in the program are M. J. Welch
cello virtuoso, and Walter Ellerton the
vocalist. There will be several other
numbers. on the program which have
not as yet been fully decided upon.
The price is so cents for reserved
seats and 25 cents general admission
There is not a particle of doubt tha
hose who attend will get their money,
worth as there will be something do
ing from start to finish.
