CaD1eld of Brldgep0rt introduced MT Beach as act lng mayor of one of the most progress olve citiD In the country.
 Nr Beach replied that 1t was m honor to be called upon to open the convention. The membership of the Foreeters of America In Waterbury Is larg6 than that of any other organiza- ton in if. Its influence must be very great and its charities and beneyOlence have eood and widespread effect upon tic community. He tendered the dele Satss the hospitality and the freedom q the cIty.

DAVID DICKINSON,
 Grand Treasurer.

DAVID DICKINSON,
 Grand Treasurer.
 In his report the grand chief ranger suggests the appointment of an organ izer. for by that means he says the order can be extended to places where under ordinary conditions 1t could not be only after considerable work. Other organizations have organizers and the FOresters ought to have such m off, cer.
 He recommends that stringent laws he enacted for the control of the Grand court funeral fund. else 1t will be the cause of much anxiety and perplexity for the Grand court in the future. The conStruction of the laws of the order are such as to invite carelessness and disregard of responsibility. Tt should also be remembered that the fund Is not now bearing all the responsibility that belongs to 1t, as 1t is practically managed at the expense of the Grand court in general. only 60 per year of the falary of the grand secretary, and none of the salary of the grand chief ranger or grand treasurer, being paid by the fund, while . great part of the work of these officers is devoted to the business of this fund"
 There is but one juvenile conrt tn the state. and that Is located in "R0ck- vile. Boys from 12 to IS are admissa- ble to this court.
 The Companions of the Forest are growing rapidly. There are thirty seven circles in the state at present.
 It is recommended that a suitable salary be paid the grand secretary, as it Is an ofice that requires the greater part of his time to perform its duties properly. An allowance for rent for his oflice is also recommended. This recommendation applies to the oflce of the grand chief ranger for the same reasons. He is now paid $10O a year, and an increase of &100 Is advised.
 The delegates win be banqueted in Concordia hall this evening at 6:30 o'clock. at which many of the promI nenth citizens and oficials of the city will be present. and later in the con vention hall the exercises of the dsv will close with . ball and degree team drill. to which the public are invited.
 Tomorrow the election of ofilcers and delegates to the national eonven ton will take place.
 It ia fourteen years since the last convention of Foressers was held fin Waterbury. Concordia hall was the place in which 1t was held. and there was room to spare. There were only seven courts of the order in this city then. while to-day there are twenty two. The convention held two years ago in New Britain was to have been held here, but the big fire which de- stroyed the business section of the city made that impossible.

with the Presbyterian church, and was
greatly esteemed for his moral and
religious character. His death is deep
ly regretted by all who knew him in
Marietta. We deeply sympathize with
his parents, in this sad bereavement.

BEGINNING OF A CAREER.

There was a ripa banana on top OF
the wire basket in front of Mr. J. N.
Gantt's store last Wednesday. A. little
white boy, about eight years old, came
along and spied it. 1t was very allur-
ing and the tempter enticed him to
stop He backed up and leaned against
the wire basket, looked into the store
10 see if he was watched. His hand
went backward, clutched the banana.
and he sneaked off. The banana went
with him. He stopped short distance
from the store, peeled the banana and
began to devour it. This petty larceny
is the beginning of career, Where
will it end? Parents, warn your boys
against stealing from the merchants,
or in later years their deeds may give
shame and disgrace.
