The New Tower and Bell of ST. Paui's,
WatertOWn,

On Christmas eve the new tower and
spire of st. PauPs Protestant Episcopal
church in this city was completed and
the new bell placed in it and used the
first time. The tower up to the belfry
is of Watertown brick, the belfry is of
massive timbers and has ample room
for full peal of bells. The spire is
very neat and simple. its graceful out
lines calling for no fretted ornamental
ton whatever; its apex is surmounted
by well-proportioned gilded cross.
The hight from the ground to the top
of the cross is 81 feet and 10 inches.
The design and execution of the work
has been done by ]. F. Dornfeld, ar
chitect and builder, of this city, and is
in perfect keeping with the rest of the
church building, chapel and rectory,
the whole forming beautiful pile of
Gothic ecclesiastical structures-an or
nament to the city and credit to all con-
cerned, as well as cherished Mecca of
the church people of Watertown. The
bell is from the Meneely foundry at
Troy, N. Y, and weighs 61O pounds.
The following inscription is cast on it.:
st. Paul's Church,
Watertown, Wisconsin.
To the Glory of God
And in Memory of
Elizabeth Harger Jones,
Who Was Born July 81, 1918,
And Died March IL, 1890.
This Bell and Tower in which it hangs
were erected by her husband, Daniel
Jones, A. D. 1890, for many years Senior
Warden of this Church.
I Call All.
The tower, spire and bell are gift
to the church by Col. Daniel Jones as
a memorial of his departed wife, who
from the foundation of this parish was
his faithful helpmate and co-worker in
every labor to build up and develop
the church in Watertown, so that now
she "being dead yet speaketh." In
this work Col. Jones has given another
illustration of how to utilize memorial
efforts to the benefit of the community
and the community in general, as we'll
as the church, appreciates the deed.

Christmas.

Watertown passed a joyful Christ
mas, and the great festal day commem-
orative Of Savior's birth was honored
here with more than the usual ebserv-
ance and pleasure to both old and
young. The Congregational church
Sunday school festival, Christmas eve,
called together an assemblage which
crowded the seats aud aisles, and the
exercises were creditable to all con-
cerned. Services appropriate to Christ
mas were held in the church Christmas
morning.
At St. Paul's church Christmas eve
services were held and the usual SER
vices for Christmas day took place
The services were largely of choral
character by the surpliced choir, led
by Mr.. G. S. Hawley, with Miss Ella
Brickell as organist. A new "Te
Deum," by Kortschmar, was sung for
the first time. A feature of the service
was beautiful Christmas song from
Shelley, rendered by William Sproes-
ser. The sermon by the rector was a
reflex of the lesson taught by the Ma
tivity The Sunday school enjoyed
their Christmas tree celebration Fri
day evening, and at the close all were
made happy by the receipt of appro-
pirate presents.
The NJ. e. church Sunday school cell
ebration had a large attendance, and
in the distributing of gifts the scholars
were well provided for.
The Christmas services at st. Ber-
nard's were made unusually interesting
by the splendid work done by the
choir. Grand High Mass was cele-
brated at A. NJ, Rev. Father Condor,
celebrant. The choir most beautifully
rendered Giorza's Mass. 'Adeste FL
deles," by the Misses Poirier and K
nedy; the Christmas hymn, 80 Holy
Night" by Mrs. E. Brandt and the
Misses Mary Malloy and Lizzie Brooks.
At half-past ten O'clock Giorza's Mass
by the choir. EFT Incarnatus," by Mrs.
E. Brandt; Benedictus," Prof. McCar-
thy; solo, "Veni Creator" Miss Lizzie
Brooks; cave Maria," Mrs. E. Brandt;
"Qui Tollis," Miss Ruth Blair; eft in
Spiritum," Miss Mary Malloy. At the
vesper service, duet, 80 Spouse Mi, F."
Miss Lizzie Brooks and Prof McCar-
thy; "Tantum Ergo" chorus; "Mer-
cadante," "Laudate Doninum" st.
Bernard's choir has long been noted
for the excellence of it's work, but it is
safe to say that at no time has the rem
dition of those most difficult masses
been so artistic. Miss Anna Brown
presided at the organ, which in no
small measure contributed to the COM
plete success of the occasion
Father Condon's Christmas donation
amounted to 1914. A nice present, and
| we'll deserved.

ABOUT TINE 1T WAS STOPPED.
Ex-officer Morelli Severely Beaten in the
Diamond Saloon.

Diamond Saloon.
Scarcely a week goes by that complaints
are not made at the police station OF rows,
disturbances and petty robberies committed
at the notorious Diamond Saloon, on K
street.
Last night two new items came from that
quarter.
Early in the evening ex-police officer
Moreli met an old friend who resides in
the country, and who was greatly under
the influence of liquor. Morelli tried to
persuade him to go to bed, but his friend
was drunk enough to be stubborn and re-
fused. He then headed for the Diamond
Saloon, and Morelli, knowing that
his friend had considerable money
with him, feared for his safety
Again he tried to get him
out of the neighborhood, but without sue
cess. The intoxicated individual staggered
into the saloon, and Morelli waited out
side.
A few minutes later he peeped through
the door and saw his friend surrounded by
q gang of toughs. Knowing that they
were of the kind that never allow an in
toxicated man with money to get out of
tutlI grasp nltuOut DcluS iOouCu, Ahoiciti
went in and asked him 10 come out His
friend started out with him, but was pulled
backed by the toughs.
Morelli went to the rescue Of his friend
again, ard was about to lead him out,
when one hard-lookiDg individual stepped
up and dealt More!li heavy blow in the
face, knocking him down.
Morelli jumped up and the fellow went
at him again, and the others joined in.
The eX-officer defended himself as best he
could with light cane, but they were too
much for him. He wss knocked down
again and fesrfully kicked and beaten. His
head was badly cut his face and body
bruised badly. He was finally thrown out
upon the sidewalk, bleeding and almost
senseless.
Later in the evening Morelli reported the
matter to Captain Lee. and the latter de-
tailed several officers to go with him to the
place and arrest the men. None of them,
however, could be found.
And this was not the only assault that
occurred at the Diamond. About 10 O'Clock
q man named jacob visited the police
station, wearing "shanty" on his left eye
He stated that short time previous, he
was walking quietly along K street, and
was just passing the Diamond Saloon,
when a man suddenly stepped out Of the
entrance and dealt him q vicious blow over
the eye. jacob did not know who his as
sailant was, nor did be know why be had
been assaulted. 1t was evidently done by
some losfer, who wanted to see how hard
he could hit.
