Nevertheless by the time the grea,

that the crypt and transepts and ante

One evening the host OF the small

before his guests with a little ba o

MEMco,s ZIG Tree.

A Tropicak Candidate Tor the Die
11ctlcs "a BstnR the Largest.
There stands n trsc in the tropics a
Mexico The sicht Of which is worth
the trouble os the 500 mile trip from
the City OF Mexico 20 the little Indian
village OF Tvie on the read to Militia.
This giant OF n prehistoric forest Ia
known as the big Tule tree, the name
being pronounced in two syilabies and
as though = spelled Tu-lee. In past
years many trees have come to the
front as claimants TO the distinction OF
being the largest tree in the world, and
not infre1ueEtly one OF these impostors
secures that honor.
Only short time ago a new tres
was discovered in California of the
Mariposa variety, and it was heralded
as the biggest tree in the world, its cir.
conference being 100 feet. The biz
Tule tree is % feet 2 inches 10 the good
OF this new western wonder, and the
fact that its position has not hitherto
been more firmly established is due TO
the few people who have seen it. Not
every one who goes to Mexico goes to
Militia, and n you do not go to Militia or
nearly there you cannot see the big
Tule. Accordingly, comparatively few
people have seen its glories.
There are many California trees
which would make more lumber than
the big Tule, for its trunk is not high
ana its abundant tropical foliage al.
most reaches the ground. Despite thi.
fact, 1t takes two looks to see the
top and twenty-eight people standing
with outstretched arms and touching
finger tips can scarcely enclrcle the
trunk. The tree stands In the church.
yard of Santa Maria del Tule. and
many scientists believe that IL guarded
the beautiful tropical valley when a
prehistoric race was building what are
now the famous ruins of Militia. IT is
the ancient OF the ancients, and the m.
uves look upon the tree with venera-
ton and love, believing that In some
way it is guardian of the people

AMERICANS SHOT
Dino Killed, Two wounded, In Attack
81 ON Colombo Rebels.

Dns KILLED, Two wounded, I'm Attack
ON Colombian Rebels.
PANAMA, Colombia, Nov. 13.-The
first American casualties as result of
the revolution have occurred here. The
Colombian fleet captured a boat hay-
ing on board correspondence showing
the whereabouts of two revolutionary
schooners loaded with provisions. The
government warships headed for the
place, and on arriving there the Bogo-
ia, formerly the Jessie Banning of San
Francisco, manned by an American
crew commanded by Captain Marina
duke, lowered two boats with armed
men, but as the schooners were
aground they waited until high tide to
attack them. In the meanwhile the
revolutionists were discovered in am
bush close to the beach, and when the
Bogota's boats pulled ahead the second
time the rebels opened fire on them,
killing the ships armorer, Richard
Kane Of Washington, and wounding
George Walker, who was shot through
the legs. A seaman named Clark and
Lieutenant Vasquez were also wound
ed, but not seriously. The Bogota and
Chucuito then opened fire on the enc
my and killed every man in sight. One
shot fired at group of ten rebels who
We're most actively engaged in shoot
ing at the boats crews killed every one
of them.
Gunner Cross Of the Bogota thinks
that from forty to fifty rebels were
killed.
One of the schooners, the Helvetia,
loaded with rice, was captured, but the
first shot at the second schooner set
her on fire, and she was completely de-
stroyed, with her cargo.
The body of Kane will be buried here
with military honors.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
Went on Outings Yesterday Afternoon
and Last Night.

The board of public works held an
outing yesterday afternoon for the pur-
pose of looking over the new layout of
East Main street from Silver street to
the Mad river, as prepared by En-
glneer Cairns and submitted to the
board Tuesday night. The survey calls
Tor sixty-foot street. There are prac-
ideally no changes until the old barn
ABOVE the Farmers Home is reached,
Where the line runs into the building,
put as the property belongs to the city
and the structure is of no value, this
would not amount to anything so far as
damages go. About twenty trees will
nave to come out of the roadway at
the residence of David G.. Porter but
the barns and other buildings escape
without scratch. Some land will be
taken opposite the little house in front
OF ldylwood, the country seat of Eryis
y. Wright, one of the handsomest
spots in Waterbury; but the strip is
narrow and will not interfere with any
trees or buildings. Nothing Is dis.
turbed at the Wright place, though it
was stated that there may be some in
vestigation later regarding an alleged
eneroachment onto the highway at
this point
mere are no encrOachments from
ldylWood until you reach the bend in
the street east of the blacksmith shop.
here the present roadway is abandoned
altogether and the map shows q
straight street clear across the Porter
lots to the bridge that spans Mad river
az the Mattatuck Manufacturing Co.'S.
The board appeared very much pleased
with the plan and concluded that it
would be wise to continue it al far as
the bend in the street beyond The en-
trance to Calvary cemetery. and
passed vote to this effect.
AT f:30 o'clock last evening the board
went out to look over sites where cleo
trio lights have been petitioned for.
and kept on the go until III O'Clock.
when they found themselves wander
ing through tho shades of Mohawk
park. 1t was voted to recommend that
lights be installed at the following
places: Hill street, opposite Fleet
Street; south side or Division street.
opposite passway leading to Farm
street; east side Of North Main street,
between 1922 and 1126; corner ne Oak
and Ash streets: Meadow street be-
tween Field street and the Darlington
factory; Hillside avenue. opposite First
avenue; Sylvan avenue about $50 feet

street. It was the intention OF the
board to visit South Leonard street.
but the hour was growing late and it
was agreed to make a call there some
other time. pr

Boston Police Gather Evidence OF
the NeGro,s Guilt

Boston Police Gather Evidence or
the Negroes Guilt.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 13.-The
state police and members Of the police
force Of Boston are devoting all their
time to searching for evidence as to the
past life and movements of George L.
.. Perry, the young negro who upon
the release Of Alan G. Mason was
charged with the murder Of Miss Clara
a. Norton,
The police late yesterday received q
fragment Of watch chain which In
texture and pattern matches that worn
by Miss Morton with her watch from
Il. r. Murdoch, who lives near the
house occupied by the Perry family.
Mr. Murdoch was clearing up his yard
when the glitter OF an object caught
his eye. The find he rather unusual
and knowing that i trayersed his
yard to reach the ~ house, be
turned the fragment { to an officer
simply a. an experiment.
Later the Somcryille police found
Perry's sweetheart and after persua-
sion got her to exhibit whatever jewell
~ she had received from Perry Among
the trinkets was a gold chain, which
was Immediately recognized as having
belonged to Miss McPhee. Private
marks on the chain proved the identif-
cation. and the jeweler who sold it to
Miss McPhee later described his own
upon 1t. The chain had been given by
Perry's sweetheart to her sister. The
officers next secured letters written by
Perry to his sweetheart and one to her
sister, and in the latter missive there is
reference to chain and the instruction
not to- say word about it. When Miss
McPhee was in the hospital during a
lucid moment she asked, where is my
chainY' At the time there was an abra-
sion on her neck. caused by the forcible
Tightening of a chain worn there. Aft
er her death search was made for the
chain, but as it was not pawned in this
vicinity no clew to the murderer was
secured this way. The police refuse to
give the names of the girls. 1a9s
All of Perry's clothes which he wore
to Jail were taken from him because an
officer thought he detected blood
spot on shirt sleeve. Perry admitted
the spot was blood, saying that he had
had bleeding tooth.
All the negroes clothing at home has
been seized. Some Of this, especially q
coat. has stains which look like blood.
Professor Wood of Harvard will ex-
anime the garments.
