PRE IN APPLE TREE.
Odd Sight for Resident of Marcus
Avenue, Danbury.
A burning: apple tree near a barn
BA 10 Marcus avenue, Danbury, the
other afternoon, made a spectacular
alght and furnished srort for the fire
men who responded to a telephone call
ant in to the fir headauarters. When
the firemen arrived smoke was pouring
from several knotholes In the tree and
as a large limb extended in the direc
tion' of the barn which was filled with
hay, there was danjrer of a brisk blaze.
' One of the athletes connected with
Truck 1 climbed the tree and poured
the contents of three extinguishers
down the interior of the trunk. This
did not check. the blaEe, and then a saw
was brought into requisition and a
limb was cut oft which left an aperture
through which water was poured until
the ftra was put out.
Chief Lounstmry said that In his
opinion the Are was caused by a fam
ily of squirrels, who had smuggled a
match Into their home and ml?ht have
attempted to prepare a hoiled dinner,
but the most acceptable theory Is that
parks from a bonfire that was burn
ing nearby had been wafted to the hol
low In the tree and the refuse In the
trunk Ignited.

Ladies' Auxiliary to St. Joseph' Hos
pital Organized Committees Named
Great Enthusiasm and United Ef
fort for Laudable Work.
"The Ladies' Auxiliary to St. Jo
seph's Hospital" is the name adopted
by th eorgunization formed last week
to assist in the work of charity so
nobly started and successfully carried

At a meeting of the members, who
now number about 1S5, held last Fri
duy, much business of Importance was
transacted. .
Mrs. J. O. Blanchette was elected
third Vice president and Miss Mary
Mullen financial secretary. Owing to
the fact that Rev. Mother Tharsllla
had expressed a desire that no admis
sion fee be exacted from the members
there was some discussion on this
point. It was finally agreed to test
the feeling of the members by ballot
and ai t accordingly. By a very large
majority it was voted to pay an
Initiation fee of one dollar each for
this year. This plan seemed to give
general satisfaction and also resulted
in the collection of about $!V0, which
givis the ladies some ready money
with which to begin their work.
There Is great enthusiasm and sin
cerity of purpose among the auxiliary's
members which bids fair to insure
much comfort and relief to future pa
tients of the institution.
-Matters have already been referred
to the entertainment and delicacy
committees, and some action will be
taken soon relative to these depart
ments. It is the hope of the ladfes that the
public will co-operate with them in
their undertakings and thus enable
them to Accomplish the object of their
organization.

man: press committee, Mrs. J. A. 51c
Pnnnld, chairman; literary committee,
Mrs. L. V.. Flockn. chairman.

resident directors, including the officers
of the auxiliary, was appointed, with
Mrs. D. P. Dunn as chairman.

at 3 o'clock on the first Monday after
noon of each month.

houses at Loonier opera house Satur.
day afternoon and evening. A good
concert was rendered in front of the
theater before each performance. More
than the usual interest was taken in

nection with the company. Mr. Cail

expert baton swinger and slack wire
artist. The entire presentation was

dead at 11.15 o'clock Sunday forenoon
on the sidewalk in front of the house
of his niece. Mrs. William A. Daw
son, at SI South street.
Mr. Thelps was apparently in as
good health as ever earlier in the day
and had had Alderman Dawson's little
child out for an airing. He was go
ing toward t house when a neighbor
noticed him stagger and fall. A cou
ple of neighbors and Mr. Dawson car
ried the old gentleman Into the house.
He was still gasping. The family phys-
is enough to give your child a start in life. This can be
accomplished by parents depositing $i each week dur
ing his minority in our bank. Most children knowing
that a bank account has been started for them, will
make continuous effort to add to the amount of their
savings thus accumulating a fund which will later en
able them to start in business well equipped for success.
Open an account at once $r is enough we pay inter
est compounded semi-annually. Deposits made on or
before April ioth will bear interest from Apri ist.
