,Tuteiary Trees.

Ancient people had their tutelary trees
just as they had their tutelary gods-the
former being the affairs and shrines of the
latter. Among the Scandinavians the ash
was held to be the most sacred tree. Ser
penis, according to their belief, dared not
approach it. Hence the women left their
children with entire confidence under it's
shade while they went on with their har-
vesting.-Gentleman's Magazine.

WORKERS DISAGREE

Rev D. y G+r-.n Says the sunday
Temperance Meetings at the Opera
House rartake of the Character of a
Circu
The Waterbury Council for Tenn er-
ance Work held an adjourned meeting in
the y. NJ. C. A. building last night. Rev DR.
Anderson, chairman of the committee to
report a plan for charging the work and
changing the name, made II report. The
change of name suggested is the Water
bury Council for Reformatory Work. DR.
Anderson said that he had found it diff
cult to discover men, who have time,
ability, influence and money who cared to
devote much of their time to this work.
Every man was busy with his own affairs
and did not care to assume any further
burdens. He thought that an organlza-
ton such as some people desired to see
formed would be composed of societies
who have extreme views on prohibition,
and conservative men would not care to
have anything to do with it. He said the
work of such organizations is generally
done by one person who is in reality a
crank but very practical sort of crank
E. A Smith thought if the society should
devote ali its energies to the promotion of
tenn ,,erance it would find enough to do.
There is more work to be done
in this line in the city than
any one organization could touch.
the Rev F. D. Buckley said he favored
reformatory movement rather than one of
strictly temperance work Mrs Emma F.
Cook thought it advisable to form a law
and order league and begin work at once.
Rev w. p Anderson of the Swedish
Lutheran church spoke in favor of the re-
formatory and temperance movements. DR.
Anderson said: My own opinion is that
in order to interest some people We must
get circus and secure a good manager
There have been meetings going on at the
opera house which have partaken of the
character of n circus, attended by audi
ences, most of whom 90 nowhere else on
the Lords day" In the debate which fol-
lowed, E. A. Moree said that to his own
knowledge a four gallon jug of whiskey
was included in recent order sent to Il
clergyman's house. He argued that the
laws could be enforced to prevent the
spread of the drinking habit tie same as it
is to prevent the spread of smallpox. Rev
Mr. Buckley said he could not agree with
this. No one had any desire to beaffiicted
with smallpox, to drink was a matter of
appetite and many possessed a craving
appetite for it. On motion of E. A. Smith
the report Of the committee was tabled I'M
til the second Tuesday in April.

to the most tender emotions. 1t has a
most Interesting plot, is Il brilliant literary
effort, has thrilling climaXes and is origi-

the entire company was superior organi-
cation. A novel feature was brilliant

ELECTS a thrilling response. The play

Albert Robinson of 385 South Main
street, was wheeling some coal into the
casting shop at Benedict & Burnham's to-
day when he struck the wheelbarrow
against the wall of the building forcing it
back upon his foot crushing the great toe
of his left foot. DR. Frost attended him.
John Moriarty has removed his big stock
of furniture from his storehouse on Field
street to the new quarters on East Nam
street The building on Field street will
be taken down. Workmen are busy re-
modelling the Pin shop property, and 1t will
be ready for occupancy in few weeks.
Seeley & Upham's horse referred to the
other evening as turning a somersault at
the corner of East Main and Spring streets,
started out this afternoon from Willow
street and ran through nearly every street
in town until finally one of Morris, the
clothier's clerks, caught him in the center.
The wagon was left complete wreck on
Sperry street.
Willie Russell, the seven year old SOD of
Edward Russell of North Willow street,
met with a serious accident at noon to-day
DIR Frost's boy called at the Sperry street
school for the doctors little girl with the
team. She had entered the carriage and was
being driven home when the drivers at
tention was attracted by the screams of a
boy in the rear of the carriage. The horse
was stopped when it was found that the
boy was completely wedged into the spokes
of one of the wheels, so that it took the as
sistance of three men to eXtricate him. The
little lad was hanging on to the end of the
wagon and his leg in some manner got
thrust into the wheel. DIR Frost was sum-
moned and found the right leg broken IN
three places, twice below the knee joint
and also at the thigh bone. The break at
the ankle is the most serious as the bone
protruded through the flesh making a
CHASTITY sight. The little fellow will re-
cover. Had it not been for the readiness
with which the horse was brought to a
stand still the boy would have been torn to
pieces with few revolutions of the wheel.

The Captain is Serving Sentence in
Ireland For DesertiOn.
Captain Bryan f. Lynn, who left New
Haven about six months ago for visit to
familiar scenes in Ireland, has met with
disaster. Lynn, it will be remembered,
served for several years in the British
army and refusing to carry ont orders to
evlct tenants in Ireland, he was sentenced
to imprisonment for INSTRUMENTATION, es,
capped from jail and came to America,
where he made a reputation aS a
swordsman. When he started for a visit,
he arranged TO travel in disguise, in order
that he might not be recognized by mem
bers of the British army and captured as
he would be punished for desertion. 1t
appears that his plans went astray, and
that some English soldier recognized and
betrayed him, as the story current is to
the effect that Lynn has been captured
and is now serving two years sentence
in Dennemore prison as Il punishment for
his escape and desertion. He has many
friends in Waterbury who will be sorry to
hear of his i'll luck

RECENTLY the German Bureau of
Sanitary Inspection sent out notices
warning the people against American
dried apples, and alleging that such
fruit was found to show traces of
zinc and other substances detriment-
al to health. The German authori-
ties while no doubt exercising COM
mendable zeal have created much
ado about nothing, as a matter of
fact. Sometimes apples are dried by
being placed upon galvanized wire
netting and exposed to heat In
some instances particles Of the zinc
used in coating the wire may have
become detached and appeared among
the fruit; but such cases would be
rare and the amount of the metal so
found must have been exceedingly
small. While all handlers of fruit in
every method of curing should exer-
else the greatest care and cleanliness
throughout all the processes, it must
be evident to all practical people in
Germany and elsewhere that the
amount of metallic substance that
the entire German Empire could thus
absorb while consuming American
dried fruit would be less harmful
than single schooner of German
beer "dosed" with aloes instead OF
hops. The Germans need not fear to
eat American fruit on the score of
zinc poisoning, but may go on serene
ly extending their waistbelts by an
unlimited consumption Of it, and we
trust the Bureau of Sanitary Inspec-
tion may have the good sense and
fairness to relieve their unnecessary
boycott of American dried apples
