WORCESTER HAS
1896 ENROLLED
All Men Between Il And 81
Wefe Registered Tuesday
Without Trouble

Last Tuesday 1875 young men went
to the Registration Offices in Worces-
ter County and had themselves enrolled
in the new Army of the Republic.
If there were any slackers men who
through cowardice. or fear. or lack of
patriotism who did not respond to the
call, they will be known when the lists
OF last Tuesday are compared with the
election registration lists.
II is not the desire of the Board of
Registration to see anyone get into
trouble because of their not being in
formed about last Tuesdays registra-
ton, or because Of their inability to get
to their place of registration, therefore
if anyone presents himself before the
Clerk of the Circuit Court between now
and next Tuesday he may get registered
and escape the penalty of imprisonment
and subsequent registration as well.
The result of last Tuesdays registra-
ton is 100 white men, 1856 colored men.

Hardy is an authority on fraternai insurance matters having been for many years connected with the Knights of Pythias insurance depart ment, and having written several books on the law of insurance.
 The session opened with an ad- dress of welcome on behalf of the city of Los Angeles delivered through Dr. Williams who represented Mayor Woodman. Arizona was honored by the selection of Delegate B. E. Marks, to make the response to the eloquent address of welcome.
 The delegates then launched upon the work of the session. Many changes were made in the constitution and by laws and many economies effected By virtue of these changes, thousands of dollars will be saved within the next year and thereafter from the general expense fund.
 One of the most pleasant features during the session was an address delivered by Governor w. D. Stephens of California, who is an enthusiastic member of the society. Another ad dress delivered during the session was 1y Reinsurance Commissioner Aikern of Wisconsin.
 The war risk matter was handled in most patriotic fashion, the dele oates unanimously deciding to levy z
