I'M GROWING OLD.

Ny days pass pleasantly away;
My nights are blessed with sweetest sleep
| feel no symptoms of decay,
[ have no cause to mourn or weep;
My foes are impOtent and shy,
My friends are neither false nor cold;
And yet, of late, | often sigh
I'm growing old!
Ny growing talk of olden times,
Ny growing thirst for early news
Ny growing apathy to rhymes,
My growing love of easy shoes.
My growing hate Of crowds and noise,
My growing fear Of taking cold,
All whisper, in the planeSt voice,
m growing old!
I'm growing fonder of my staff;
IN growing DINNER in the eyes;
I'm growing fainter in my laugh;
I'm growing deeper in my signs;
I'm growing careless in my dress;
I'm growing frugal of my gold;
I'm growing wise; I'm groWing-yes
I'm growing old!
I see it in my changing taste:
| see it in my changing hair;
see it in my growing waist;
| see it in my growing heir;
thousand signs proclaim the truth,
As plain as truth were ever told,
That even in my Wanted youth
IN growing old!
Al. me, my very laurels breathe
The tale in my reluctant ears,
And every boon the hours bequeath
But makes me debtor to the years!
Zen fattery's honeyed words declare
The secret she would fain withhold,
And tells me in GLOW young you are!"
I'm growing old!
Thanks for the years, whose rapid flight
My sonlber music too sadly sings;
Thanks for the CLEANS Of golden light
That tint the darkness OF tLeir wings;
The light that beams from out the sky,
Those heavenly mansions to unfold,
Where all are blest, and none may sigh,
I'm growing old!

President John T. Brush of the Reds,
who has been in Cincinnati for several
days, left suddenly for home last evening,
saying he was very ILL., His associates
say his condition appeared serious.
There are many ex-National league
players in the Eastern organization, and
many youngsters come from the latter in
to the big clubs of the twelve cities cir
cult. In looking over the list these are
ex-leaguers: Brouthers, Jimmy Bannon,
formerly of Boston; Bonner, once with
Brooklyn; Freeman, with st. Louis at
one time; Sam Wise, Egan, Gilbert,
Harry Lyons, Willie Mains, Dooley,
Ryan of Syracuse, Dolan, formerly of
Boston; Lampe, Abbey, Tom Bannon,
Cooney, once Chicagos shortstop; Joe
Mulvey, Johnny O'Brien, Dan Shannon,
Bassett, Shorty Fuller, Jack Sharrott,
Harry Staley, Scheibeck, Gunson, Ber-
ger, Coughlin, Harper and Messenger.
Tim Hurst says he is willing to man
age the st. Louis Browns, provided the
officials make suitable offer.
Frank Shannon, the clever Eastern
league shortstop, is taking the first years
course at the Harvard Medical school.
Joe Battin was one of those who
wanted to be Western league umpire,
and failed to reach.
Springfield has quoted figure to Prov
idence for the relase of Catcher Jim
Duncan.
Dan Brouthers is said to be booked to
manage Springfield, vice Tom Burns,
who, however, has not yet assumed the
reins to direct the Colts.
Manager Selee Of Boston has decided
to take no chances next season. He will
have Stivetts for the extra outfelder and
have two extra infelders, as the work is
more likely to tell on the infelders than
in any other department.
Nick Burley of California and "Aus-
tralian Jimmy Ryan fought ten rounds
before the GAINESVILLE Athletic club. Bur-
ley had the best of the fight throughout,
but as Ryan was on his feet the fight was
declared draw.

AN EXPENSIVE CITIZEN.
Just Because He's the 12O1st, Pier
mont Liquor Men will Have
to Pay 500 Each.

Middleton, n. Y, Feb. 5.-The excise
census just taken in the village of Pier
mont, Rockland county, to determine the
amount of tax to be paid by liquor deal
ers, showed that the village has popula-
ton of 1901.
That 1201st inhabitant is a costly one
for the liquor dealers. since the Raines
law jumps the tax on villages having over
1900 inhabitants from 800 to 5000. The
liquor dealers have scanned very carefully
the returns filed by the enumerator, John
Auryansen, and profess to have found
several case in which, through excess Of
zeal, he enumerated as residents those
who are only stopping temporarily in the
village, and when the enumeration comes
before the trustees for final revision they
will try to have it scaled down below the
1900 mark

MAY INDIcT PAUL MUELLER.

Worcester, Mass, January l9.-At
noon today Assistant District Attorney
George S. Taft, called the first of the
eight witnesses whose testimony before
the grand jury of this county is likely to
place Paul Mueller, alias Miller, the
suspected murderer OF Farmer Newton
and mis- family, under Indictment for the
crime.
The witnesses heard by the grand jury
at today's session were Medical tx
aminer F. I'll. Baker of Worcester, who
performed the autopsy on the three VIC
Tins Deputy Sheriff w. b. Tarbell, who
has been conducting the investigation
in Brookfeld, where the crime was com
mitted; Wms Eaton and George Pike,
the two neighbors who discovered the
murderers's victims on Monday night
following the crime; Arthur Rice, who
met the suspected murderer short dis
lance from the Newton farm on the Fri
day night when the crime was commit
ted: r. H. Campbell, the telegraph
operator at West Brookfield. who sold a
man answering the description of the
suspected murderer ticket early Satnr-
day for Springfield; Israel Derosier. who
was in company with Newton and Muel-
Ter Friday afternoon and heard Newton
say he had $500 in the house, and John
H. Uphafn. who was the last man to see
Newton alive.
The government believes from the
testimony which these witnesses will
give to the grand jury that an indict-
meut will be drawn by that body
against Paul Mueller, charging him
with the death of the three members of
the Newton household.

The rules must be now submitted to

Alterations in the rules are less sweep.
inc than MANY anticipated. The vital
change is that radically altering the
present system of scoring. The goal
after touch down is slated to count fol
one additional point, the drop kick fol
four. the place kick for three and the
safety for two.
There is no requirement for seven men
in the line, but it is provided that ii two
linesmen ale drawn back of The line
thew shall be outside the line Of scrim-
mage.
Another safeguard against roughness
is that imposing . distance penalty FOL
LAYING hands on opponents before the
ball is put in play.
An important alteration also is thai
permitting to the side scored on tho
choice of kickoff.
Other changes suggested are in de
fining the safety. allowing ID yards IN
