Attorney Thomas F. Lawlor. ufi- til recently first sergeant of Company c, Second regiment. c. N O. vas presented with handsome gold watch this morning before the cons pany left the city for Hartford where they participated in the big military parade to-day. Sergeant Lawlor was always big favorite among the members of the company and when he recently left the com. pany after 19 years of service there was much regret among the boys.
 The presentation speech was made by Captain Daniel E. Fitzpatrick and Tommy" was surely taken by sur. prise. Words failed him for the time being but he finally was able to bring back his voice and make . brief response.
 The dial of the watch is an excel- lent piece of work. Instead of fg~ ures marking the hours, there are 12 letters which compose the words Fall in Lively" favorite express sion of the sergeant's. The stripes of a first sergeant, the blue and tho white showing up finely, are right in the center of the dial while under. meath are couple of rifles laid diagonally across each other. On the back of the watch was a like- ness of the service medal while inc side on the case is the inscription Presented to First Sergeant Thomas F. Lawlor by Company G-1SS9. 1908." Sergeant Lawlor went to Hartford with the company.

SCHOOL BOY SHOT.
Got In the Way of Flying Bullets at
 Taxicab Strike Riot,

New York, Oct S.-The lives of a dozen innocent bystanders were plac- ed in peril and one person was prob- ably fatally injured when revolvers were brought into play last night in the disorders growing out of the strike of the New York Taxicab Co.'S chauffeurs. Robert Dudley. IA year-old school boy, standing in front of his home in West 57th street, was struck in the head by one of the fly ing bullets and is not expected to live.
 Conflicting stories are told as to the immediate cause of the fusillade. According to the company's men, two of its taxicabs, each containing five special officers, were being driven through West 57th street, when shot was fired from among the crowd of strike sympathizers along the curb. and shots in self defense were fired from the taxicab men. The leading taxicab at once put on full power and headed for the company's garage.
 Representatives of the striking Y that the special policemen Of the taxi- cab opened fire on the crowd, without provocation. Some thirty shots in all are said to have been fred
 One of the two taxicabs was over taken, before 1t could find refuge in the garage and it's driver placed un- der arrest. The mob, which had given chase, attempted to tear the prisoner away from his captor, and 1t was only after the liberal use of night sticks that he was safely lodged in a police station.
 The driver of the second taxicab was subsequently, placed under arrest at the company's garage. The police say that the drivers of both machines were found to be In possession of re- volvers in which were exploded cart. ridges.

COST OF APPLES.
How Much It Takes to Raise One Bar
 rel of Fruit

A Nova Scotia correspondent Of the Rural New Yorker figures out the
 cost of barrel of apples, saying that 1 a loose way to figure Is to compare gross results without giving any data as to market conditions, local buying, scarcity and cost of the extras in fertilizer and labor. It is the net re- turns after paying fair interest on capital which make one system of growing better than another. In
 Nova Scotia good clean land in pleas ant neighborhoods is worth from $50 to $40 an acre, sometimes with build | ings and sometimes without. Other farms equally good, but four CT five | miles away, will only cost $15 an acre. Young men get s20 month and board, which Is worth $8 a month
 for seven summer months. Good. careful teamsters get $2 to A more. Laws have been passed which fix def mite standards for apple barrels and for grades. Our fruit inspectors do as much to enforce this law as is
 consistent with an otherwise slack code of commercial practice. Besides, Iorcharding makes people keen, and the sharpers get prune back every year or two.
 Bone meal costs $26 to $30; acid phosphate, SIS; muriate of potash, s45 nitrate of soda. $63; sulphate of ammonia, $67; potato fertilizer, s31.50; basic slag, s20, cash same spring. And here let me say my ex- periments on orchard with and with out fertilizer have not shown any in-
 crease in crop on good 20-year-old orchard from fertilizer. when the soil was in good enough condition at start
 to grow crimson clover crop. So in the two acre orchard of which I give figures out of 80 trees, 10 trees only have been allowed 100 pounds
 of a potato complete fertilizer each
 year, for the last four years. As fer tilizing is to great extent a science of trial and error, have this year
 shifted from complete to phosphoric acid fertilizer on the same 10 trees.
 Unhappily the trees without fertilizer
 have borne heavier than the same va riety fertilized, so as 1t is only one
 bag on two acres, and that seems a
 handicap. do not take 1t into count. A good team costs s200 apiece for 1,200 pound horses, and I allow $125 each for grain and hay. In winter
 work is slack, but for two years my team worked in lumber woods, get ting 2h months board, and earning $60 net for team per year. Another
 man had a horse killed by a tree without compensation. Team work in
 spring costs by the day, when possi-
 ble to get, from $3.25 for 1000 pound
 horses to ss.5o for 1,200 pound team and driver.

VERDICT WAS FOR sl.
Judge Wheeler Refused It and Sent
 Jury Back-Disagree.

Jury back-lUSAgfecs
 New Haven, Oct S.-Judge Ralph Wheeler in the civil side of the s,i- perior court yesterday afternoon re- fused to allow a verdict of $1 in the case of Nutile, administrator, vs tho Connecticut Go. The jury brought a verdict for this amount for the piain- tiff, but the bench would not allow 1t to be entered as a final judgment and ordered the jury back to their room. They could not agree as to. any other amount and so the case is off and there will have to be re- trial
 The case is almost without prece-a dent in legal circles here. It is prac- tically unknown for a judge to refuse to take verdict from jury if they agree on any amount, and verdict for $1 in damage suit of this kind Is one of the smallest on record. If verdict is found for the plaintiff in such suits, it is seldom less than $25.
 The suit. was brought by John Nutile for his son Michael, years old, who was killed by a State street car on State street near Mill River street and was for $5,000 damages.
 The case started last week and has occupied the court for several days. It was finished at II o'clock yesterday morning and given to the jury. They reported once that they had failed to agree. This was at 2:30 o'clock The jury was sent back and at ,3:30 they again re- ported. The foreman announced to Judge Wheeler that they had agreed on $1 damages for the plaintiff and the bench refused to take this yer dict and again sent them back to IT. consider.
 < After waiting in vain for them 10 report, Judge Wheeler ordered tho jury to report to the court at 6:3O. The foreman reported that there was no prospect of coming to an agree ment, and so Judge Wheeler dis- charged them. This closed the case and new trial will be necessary to settle it.
 During the long hours of waiting the plaintiff and his wife, both not more than 25 years of age, were very nervous. On Tuesday during the plaintiffs summing up, Mrs NntiIa became hysterical while David E. FitzGerald was telling of her boy and his death. She had to be led ont of the court room.
 The case was defended for tIl0 railroad company by Henry IF Townshend.

SMALLEST KING IN THE WORLD.
Monarch of a Burmese State-His Palace and Curious Body Guard.

Palace and Curious Body Guard.
 When travelling through the Shan states I had the honor of being pre- scented to the smallest king in the world, the Sawbwa, or Myo'sa, of Chen-Tung. He stood, as nearly as could judge, about 4 feet g inches In his curly Burmese slippers and was the quintessence of regal courtesy. Ills palace" was a matched hut on stilts, close to the Salween river; he had several wives, who manifested great curiosity when they saw their lord In conversation with white man, and his retinue consisted of some four and twenty men armed with the quaintest collection of old guns that ever came out of g curiosi- ty shop.
 The little brown king held out a small, plump hand for me to shake. It was as soft as a woman's. He bade me welcome with smile the most genial I ever saw and begged me to accept a cocoanut. l knew that it was court etiquette to offer gift in return, and was embarrassed to think that, travelling Tight" as was, had nothing worthy of his ac- ceptance. I suddenly bethought me of a corkscrew knife bearing tho name of a we'll known brand of bot tied beer which had been given me as an advertisement in Calcutta a few months earlier.
 This I presented to him with due ceremony. and he accepted 1t with unfeigned delight. All his army pressed around as I opened the blades. the corkscrew and the hoof pick, and the headman beat a gong vigorously at signal from the king. apparently in token of the royal ap- proval.-London Standard.
