SOW SWEET IS THE REWARD.


eTis but little thing to do.
To lend 3 helping hand
To one who stumbles on the road,
And has not power to stand;
And IL simple touch of ours
Can health and hope afford
And joy impart
To one said heart.
How sweet is our reward
7Tis but little thing to speak
A tender word of cheer,
To soothe and calm the troubled soul
Oppressed with doubt or fear;
It is not much to turn aside
Sweet solace to afford
At PHYS call;
The gift is small.
Yet great is the reward.
The seed we scatter far and wide,
Along the mellow field,
VIII find Judgement in the soil.
And rich abundance yield;
And everywhere the loving heart
May cast its precious gold,
Yet feel no lack,
For it all comes back,
Increased hundredfold.
How rich the recommense we win
For favors slight and SMALL
How little cause we have to fear
That we shall lose our ALL
And yet how how many, miser like,
Their precious treasure hoard
From day to day
Give naught away
And miss the sweet reward

Baseball Owes Much of it's National
Character to Him.
New York, Jan. 4.-Charles FL. Byrne,
who was president of the Brooklyn
Baseball club, died at his residence in
this city to-day
Mr.. Byrnes death was due to COM
plication of diseases. He had been un-
conscious since Monday of last week,
and death had been expected
Mr.. Byrne was one of the best known
figures in the baseball world, having
been identified with the sport the great
er part of his life. His career as mana
ger began in 1883, when he was one o.
the owners OF club in the Interstate
league. The following year he entered
the American Association, of which his
team secured the championship in 1889
Soon after this his club Joined the
League where 1t has since remained
with Indifferent success.
Mr.. Byrne became ill last summer
and went to Virginia Hot Springs. He
returned much better, but suffered a
relapse and again returned to the
health resort. He went to Philadelphia
to a recent meeting of the League, and
exposure and work brought on the i'll
ness that resulted in death. Mr.. Byrne

The audiences continue to grow larger
and more enthusiastic as the news of
the exceptionally fine bill spreads
through the city. 1t is an aggregation
of artists that could astonish the most
exacting New York audience at the
high priced vaudeville houses. In fact,
they are the identical people who have
made the greatest of New York and
other big city successes. William Win
dom, the wonderful lyric tenor, whose
voice seems to have no limits in alti-
tude, sings with soul and expression a
number of beautiful ballads and ar
engagements of songs for quartette ac-
compartment, in which he is assisted by
the Blackstone quartette. Laughable
indeed is the new sketch given by
Watson and Hutchings, assisted by Ed
wards as the tramp. 1t is a combina-
ton of funny situations with bright
song and witty dialogue. The skill of
Robbins, the cyclist, is already town
talk. and no wheelman should let him

\ TREE GROWING uPsIDE DOWN

A TREE GROWING UPSIDE DOWN.
John Meiner's distillery in Milwaukee
has not been In operation for nine years.
1t is an old landmark, and is surround
ed with the interest that every old
building in Milwaukee awakens in the
historian. The grounds about it are
covered with grand old trees and rustic
benches, and form little by-Way nook
whose existence one would not suspect
from the road outside the fence at the
south.
But the object Of greatest interest in
this unique place is an old apple tree
that was planted twenty-eight years
ago. with its limbs in the ground and
its roots in the air, and which still lives
to bear fruit and sprout branches where
roots should be, and roots where twigs
and leaves should be, a curiosity to
beholders.
Mr. Meiners was induced to make the
trial through an old German legend, in
which such an inverted tree played a
prominent part.
When Mr. Meiners planted his twenty
five apple trees they showed no signs of
life for a long time. Finally the one
still remaining showed a leaf, softened
by summer rains and expanded by the
sun, and with a great deal of care it
was nursed to a sturdy life. 1t grew
very slowly, and has not grown more
than two feet in height since 1t was
planted. 1t is now about four feet HIGH
with trunk fifteen inches in diameter.
The roots had a tendency to droop, and
it was found necessary to prop them up
with a trellis Instead of growing
vertically, they have extended horizon
tally in long, slender arms. There are
about twenty of these, radiating in all
directions. Each year, as they grew
longer, additional props were put under
meath, and they have extended along
the trellis fat straight as ceiling,
with little slender shoots running at
right angles and INTERVENING with one
another so closely that they afford
some protection from the rain to one
who may stand underneath. The top
is circular in form, and about fifty feet
in diameter. The tree has borne fruit
for about twenty years, and is now
covered with little green apples. The
fruit is of good quality, but the variety
is not known by Mrs Adolph Meyer,
daughter of Mr.. Meiners, who now &C.
cupies the old homestead with her hus-
band and family.-Meehan's Monthly.

SERIOUS INJURY.

To an Aged Lady Mrs. Sperry of Brad
ley Street.
Mrs. Sperry of Bradley street, widow
of the late Edison Sperry, one of the
oldest women in the city, she being in
her ninety-frst year, had the misfor-
tune recently to fall, a. serious injury
resulting. She fell at her home while
standing on hassock in an endeavor
to light the gas and fractured a small
bone in her thigh. Owing to her adj
vanced age the fracture will remain and
she is in consequence obliged to lie in
bed constantly. Her general health,
which had been excellent, continues
good. Last Christmas day she was one
of the most animated and most cheer
full of happy party which enjoyed a
Christmas reunion and banquet at the
home of her daughter, Mrs Merwin,
wife of George P. Merwin, president and
treasurer of the Hubbell & Merwin Co.
She is the mother also of Mr. O. J..
Whiting of Ed street, and of Mrs. Fos-
ter w. Sperry, both well known citizens.
She is attended by DIR. W. w. Hawkes..

THE DOG GOT HoMEsIcK.

When Mrs. Frances Lee and family
residing eight miles east Of Versailless
left about one month ago overland tor
vinita, T. T., they were accompanied by
the faithful old shepherd watchdog
Carlo. The dog has arrived at a ripe
old age, and though unaccustomed to-
travelling long distances and averse to-
giving up his East Morgan home and
friends, he stood the trip well and with
out a murmur Three days OF life IN
the Indian Territory sufhced, however,
for Carlo. He simply shook the Vinita
dust from his feet and footed it back
to Morgan, arriving at his old home
about week ago. Our informant,
"Hy' Madole who saw Carlo the day
of his return and read a letter from
Vinita Of his mysterious disappearance
after three days sojourn there, says
the dog was footsore, tagged out and
hungry as a-dog He was happy,
though, at being home again and
showed his appreciation by the canine
smile and wag of tired tail.-V ersail-

They Plead Not Guilty and Refuse
Counsel.


Counsel
Norwich, Jan. 4.-The 'Holy Ghost
ers," or Holiness Band" of Old Lyme,
who We're brought into unenviable pub
licity last October through their fanati-
cal practices, were arraigned in the SUI
perior court before Judge Ralph Wheel
er to-day, charged with an alleged
breach of the peace. The band includes
Herbert Caulkins and his wife, Ansel
Champlin and his wife, Wilbur Ander-
son and Charles Young, and they are
charged with striking and beating and
abusing Mrs. Albina Mather, an aged
cripple who, it is alleged, they sought
to cure from rheumatism by faith and
very rigorous treatment on the night of
October IL.
They all pleaded not guilty, and with
the exception of Mr.. Caulkins, who was
undecided, they stated that they did not
care for counsel. The cases were as
signed for trial at the conclusion of the
other court business, though it is the
prevailing opinion that they will be set
tied out of court before that time.

present and is not affording us the SER
vice the department requires. | re-
Spectfully urge your honorable body
to cause the same to be extended as fast
as circumstances permit. The greater
the extension of this system the better
the facilities will be for the patrolman
to make known his wants to his station
or to police headquarters. I am in hopes
that in the near future we will have two
more mounted patrolmeh in the western
portion of our city, so as to give them
better police protection than they are
receiving at present and to which they
are entitled, as that portion of our city
is growing in population and increasing
rapidly in the value of it's real estate
and other property.
The condition of the property belong
ing to this department is first class and
has been kept up to the high standard
heretofore maintained. Under the new
city charter the title of the reserve fund
of the police department was changed
to the policemen's relief fund, and / am
pleased to state that this fund Is con-
stantly increasing and is in first class
condition, and at the present time
amounts to thirty-three thousand five
hundred and fifty-two dollars and twelve
cents($SS, 552.12) twenty-eight thousand
of which is invested in interest bearing
bonds, the balance deposited in bank
waiting suitable investment During
the year one of the beneficiaries of this
fund, Hugh Doherty, died February %,
1897. Patrolman Doherty was always a
faithful pff iy, ha Of lie
duties and always prompt to act and
obey the orders of his superiors, dis
charging his duties with credit to
himself and the department.
1t is my purpose to maintain the eff
cheney of the department to the highest
degree, and all citizens desiring to CO.
operate in the attainment of this object
would confer a favor by reporting to
this office any cause for investigation,
over their signatures, as no attention
will be paid to anonymous communica-
lions.
In concluding this. my first annual
report and brief synopsis of the depart
ment, / wish to express to his honor,
the mayor and your honorable board,
my sincere thanks for the kindness and
assistance extended to this department
during the year. 1 am pleased to ac-
knowledge the many courtesies and
prompt attention paid to all reasonable
demands made upon the comptroller
by that courteous gentleman. To the
clerk of this department I wish to return
my most sincere thanks and grateful
acknowledgment of his most efficient
services and courteous treatment of all
persons doing business in this office.
To the officers and parchment %of the
department ! convey my personal
thanks and congratulations upon their
efficient and jealous discharge of duty
without which the excellent results
which have been achieved would have
been impossible.
Herewith you will find submitted the
various tables which go to make up the
substance of my report
