show almost as great fondness for 1t

TWO SURPRISES IN
 ONE EVENING FOR ALDERMAN WALKER
Popular Member from the Fourth Gets China Set
 and Gold Watch

Friends of Alderman Daniel F. Walker living in the 10th and 11th districts last night rendered the popu- lar alderman from the Fourth a sur prise when the aldermen and a few of their friends accompanied Alder man Walker from the meeting of the common council to Arion hall.
 MT. Walker had invited the alder men and others to the hall to take part in the annual banquet of the society. When the post prandial pro- gram was begun, City Sheriff William Russell was called upon, and to the surprise of Alderman Walker, he pre- sented him handsome china set.
 But this wasn't all. Following the banquet at Arion hall Alderman Walker was escorted to his home by a number of well wishers, and when he reached his own bailiwick, Thomas Cleary acting as spokesman for the party produced a handsome gold watch which he presented with a neat speech. Alderman Walker was al- most out of speeches of acceptance by this time, but he managed to voice his appreciation with his accustomed grace.

JOKER PROVED
 BURGLAR ALARM WAS WORTHLESS
Black Rock Groceryman' S Confidence In Safeguards
 Is Jolted
NOW HE'S SORRY HE SPOKE
Cracksmen Took Only Enough to Prove Store
 Isn't Burglar Proof

William H. Brady of the firm Of Brady & Melia, proprietors of the Black Rock grocery. Brewster street, declared in a loud voice several days ago, in argument with several bystand- CTS about the store. he would wager sl00 burglars couldn't get into his place
 Now he is sorry he spoke. Last night burglars made off with just enough loot to demonstrate thorough ly that Brady's supposedly unfailing burglar safeguards were no use.
 The grocery store for several years was a close second to the Fairfield post office as the scene of burglaries. Not many people lived in the immed- fate vicinity, and it was not 8 hard task for cracksmen to break into the store and make off with loose change and a considerable quantity of SUD- plies.
 Firing of the repeated inroads 6t these providers, Brady wired the doors and windows with burglar alarms of improved type and satisfied himself with repeated tests that the place was at last burglar proof His precautions were to all appearances Salutary. foT until last night no attempts had been made. This led Brady to believe that the cracksmen were people who lived in the immediate vicinity and were familiar with his determination to cap- ture them by use of the alarm.
 Only a few days ago Brady and sev- eral others were discussing the eHec- tiveness of burglar alarms in general when Brady took occasion to declare most emphatically he had the utmost confidence in his alarms.
 Last night a window near a shelf on which merchandise is piled, was broken, and reaching through the ap- perture the culprtt seized a quantity of canned goods. of small value. This morning Brady was chagrined on open ing the store to find that the cracks men had put to flight his pet fancies as to the security of the store.
 Detective Cronan who investigated pointed out how easy it would be for the person who broke the window tC have secured much more loot without further risk, and says he believes the job was done as a practical joke on Brady.
