Special Correspondent NelB YORK Tribune
BuYPAIo, N. Y, August 16.-No body
Of men have suffered more in purse
from the competition of foreigners than
tho farmers of New York state. This
competition has come from the farmers
of Canada, and has been more severe
than the competition which the farmers
of other states Of the Union have been
compelled to endure; This has been
owing to the situation Of the state noar
the best farming lands Of the Dominion.
Much of the soil Of Ontario is as good as
that of Western New York. There is
no difference in productiyeness between
the soil of Franklin and Clinton coun-
ties, directly south Of the frontier, and
the soil OF Canada north Of the line.
Moreover, the farmers Of Canada had at
their command cheaper labor.
Two years ago in response to re-
quest from the farmers OF the entire
country, o Republican Congress in
creased the duties upon many agricul-
tural products in the tariff act. 1t is
now practicable to ascertain whether
the duties imposed upon Canadian
farm products have had the effect Of
reducing the volume Of their importa-
tions into the United States and of les
SEEMING competition with American ag-
ricultural products. The farmers of
Western New York are deeply inter
ested in the matter, since large quanti-
ties of Canadian eggs, barley, hay,
poultry and similar products have come
over the Niagara river from Canada,
and thus entered New York state for
sale. Usually, these sales have been
made in this city. All the evidence
points to marked reduction in the
amount OF Canadian importations. The
American farmer has larger share OF
his home market. The evidence comes
from Canadians, from boards OF trade
and from the statistics Of the custom
house.
Alexander Mccall, OF simcoe, Canada,
former member of'tho Dominion Par
lament, who was here afew days ago,
said TO an American friend: 81 see that
you are about to elect president |
hope Mr.. Cleveland will be elected"
His American friend was surprised at
this exhibition of Canadian interest in
the election, and said to him: "Why do
you wish for Mr.. Cleveland's election
moro than General Harrison's2" "Be.
cause" replied Mr.. Mccall, frankly,
I'VE Canadians shall be able after Mr..
Cleveland's election, ito sell more eggs,
barley. hay and other farmsrticles upon
this side Of the border line than we do
now. Why, the Mckinley act has di-
minished the sale Of our eggs by mil
lions and greatly reduced the sale OF our
barley, hay and OF our horses. If Mr..
Cleveland is elected Of course the duties
will be taken of and we shall get back
our market" ~.
Mr.. Mccall states truly that the i'm
portation OF eggs, barley and horses
from Canada into Western New York
has been greatly diminished in two
years. The Mckinley act was passed
late in the fall OF 1900. The custom
house records Of Buffalo show thateggs
were imported from Canada in the Eel.

Theory and Practice.

1t is quite likely that many an OBJ
servant person has witne sed similar
scene to the one described below, since
the characters are types that are dis
tributed world wide. In this case the
dialogue occurred in thriving Western
city, and the particular place was a cor
ridor of the postoffice A large, f1eshy,
indo ent-looking man came in, opened his
lock boz, and was glancing over his mail
when his attention was attracted by a
wordy dispute among group of men
near by.
A very small, bright-looking. and chip
per man was doing neary all the talk
ing, and evidently having everything his
own way.
"The situation is like this" said the
small man, tn great vigor. 81 care
not how much money man makes, he
must use brains in investing it or he will
die poor. Isn't that so. Colonel?"
The large man nodded indolently.
"Any fool can make money, but it
takes a wise man to keep it, )" observed
the small man, ocacularly. ga man must
read up and keep posted on finance and
business, especially if he ventures on
speculation"
Yes" assented the large man, MAX
ing movement to go, out the small man
would not permit it.
He backed the large man up against
the wall, took him by the button of his
coat, and held him there for several
minutes while he gave his views on busi-
ness and finance. During the disserta-
ton the large man was manifestly I'M
easy, answering EYES," no." and "I
shouldn't wonder" almost at random.
When he finally escaped, the small man
marched away with an air of impor-
tance, and a stranger inquired who he
was.

mighty poor one. Rich? Oh, dear, no!

CHAPTt II XIII.
THE MYSTIC MARRIAGE.

The Villa Montinni was haunted
house no more. Every door and window
was open, and the pleasant air and sun
shine wandered through the house as if
searching out the gloomy corners to
brighten and cheer them up.
There was one sad shadow though
that ar and sunshine couldn't brighten
up The shadow OF death was resting
on the brow of the widows son. Not
that he saw it. for he looked beyond to a
scene brighter than poor earthly sun
shine; but the mother, she saw and felt
that cloud
1t was in the fore part of the day and
| had sat at the head of his couch for
some hours keeping the cool, damp
cloths upon his brow, that they might
fill as much as possible the grateful, mis-
sion Of soothing the fever in the brain.
His mother sat upon the couch by his
side holding both his hands in hers and
watching every movement of his pale
thin lips as each breath went forth
upon its last mission He had not
spoken for some time, and we were a.!
most startled when his feeble voice
gently broke silence with the exc!ama
ton: "A other, Hal see!" He had
raised his head from the pillow and was
pointing toward the large folding doors
at the end of the hall. We followed his
direction and as we gazed the great

doors swung abroad, and a breath
of flowers foated in; then gentle
music, such as we hear in dreams,
came whispering along the air as if it
were too holy glad to speak it's happiness
aloud.
A haze of perfumed atmosphere filled
the room, lighting it with a phosphor-
escent glow that rendered deicately
throughout the rainbow's almost in
imitable tints. "She comes, mother"
whispered Burton, as he raised still
higher. and stepping upon opposite
sides of the couch we held the pillows to

the spirit and the bride say come.
A bright and happy light came to his
eyes as heard me say this, and he
stretched outsone hand to me. He turned
his face toward his mother that she
might take the farewell kiss, and as he
did so the fairy vision foated in that
was to bear his soul away upon it's up
ward flight We saw not the death
gasp. we heard no moan, for the per-
fumed rainbow- tinted vapor settled
dense about the couch, and the music of
an angel host sweled sweetly in, to
charm away the anguish of that last

through that very room on the night OF
mystic revelry.
Seemingly in obedience to a motion
from Burton, the fair Zeyna bent for

mother, whose saintlike beauty as she
gazed upon the happiness of her son
was true representation of her kind
ness of heart, inexpressible in it's holy
significance This fond salutation done,

CHAPTER XIV.
CONCLUSION.

1t is fit to end this story now, as l
have followed the two chief characters
to the end of my knowledge of them;
but there are few things left in con-
nection with the haunted house of
which the reader may demand to know
as to the conclusion of affairs concern
ing my mission there They can be told
in a few words. The legal papers of the
estate were in a bad plight. | employed
an honorable and competent attorney to
help me straighten them out and get
them in order. At the end of my stipu-
lated time / opened the roll OF parch-
ment which had been placed in my
charge by the phantom lady, and found
that it contained a will bequeathing to
Ell Muza or his heirs the disposal Of a
one-eighth portion Of an estate near
Madrid, Spain. The Sonora had been
disinherited by her father, but the at
torney, who was good Spanish scholar,
upon looking the matter up, found that
in Spain man cannot without action
the Government disinherit the last
heir in his Legitimate family line, in q
matter wherein any considerable real
estate is concerned. We communicated
with our minister plenipotentiary at
Madrid conc erning the matter, fully
establishing the SenOraS identity. We
recei Ell answer that the property,
along with the whole estate to which it
belonged, was held by the crown in de-
fault Of many years taxes due, but if
the Sonora would throw off forty per
cent OF her aim she could at any time
demand and got the balance, which
would yield her an ample competency
for life. A settlement was soon effected
and the SeLora given her portion.
The Don Juan landed in New Orleans
near the time expected and Montinni's
heir came up to see his property. He
was a gentleman and business man,
and we soon settled everything satisfac
torily. The young man had not been
there a week before he had lumber up
on the grounds, and carpenters, masons,
and painters fixing over the old house
Somewhere or other he picked up an en-
ergetic farmer and installed him as over
seer, and in less than two. months the
erstwhile haunted villa and weed-grown
plantation was all hustle and life.
The Sonora has fine home at the
villa, and kind friends and ate ndants
among whom to spend her declining
years Her only care is to attend to two
hung graves down in the valley
burying ground, and her joy is to make
her presence pleasure in time of health
and a comfort in time of illness to every
tenant of the place, and to mediate up
on the time in the future life when she
will be with her boy and mis- spirit bride.

CHAPTER XII.
THE WEIRD FUNERAL.

Five rusty hinged doors swung creak-
ing open on the north side of the old
hall up stairs, and shadowy forms in sa-
BILE covering foatcd to and fro in the
rooms Of mystery.
In each room a pale corpse lay still
and cold upon the beir awaiting to be
deposited in the dark casket that sat so
grimly beside.
No tear of sorrow came to call for sym
pathy at this weird funeral Tie NOUN
ers wore happy smiles and spoke cheerful
words; for they were not the frail be-
ings known as mortals. Each and all
had undergone the earthly death, and
the spirits Of the corpses then under
charge were present with the throng
FL legal and his wife, whom l had not
seen before, came forward from the
crowd, greeted me kindly, and thanked
me for my solicitude in behalf of their
daughter and her lover. They had done
wrong in parting the two, but earthly
Judgment is ever apt to err All sorrow
between them would soon be over. FL
Muxa and his wife also came to me and
spoke ably of the means which were
bringing about a reconciliation between
them and their eldest daughter, and
were pleased at the provisions being
made tor her maintenance.
Burton and the Sonora knew nothing of
the arrangements going on upstairs,
and were both sound asleep when mid
night had arrived Precisely at II
O'Clock the spectral procession filed ST.
lenty out of the old house, and bearing
the colfined dead wendell its way to the
cemetery in the valley.
Old Ben had performed his work we'll;
the five graves were ready. Down into
them the caskets were lowered, and the
start ing, hol ow sound Of the falling
dirt as the faithful old negro piled the
shovel, looking around daZed and scared
upon the phantom crowd, awolle the
solemn echoes of the night.
When all was done, the Senior Mon
tinni stepped forward and warmly
thanked US for our help, assuring us
that we would not lack in reward: then
babe us good night, and disappeared
with all the rest.
1t had been dark and cloudy, but as
Old Ben and l turned to go from the
spot the clouds in the zenith broke away
as if cut in twain. and the full round
moon and twinkling stars illumined the
whole landscape round, and revealed to
us that the new-made graves gave no
sign of fresh earth, but were covered
with moss and grass growing flowers.
Old Ben looked curiou>ly at me when he
had noticed tn S, and said: "Massa, dis
am Queeah," / answered: Il like it; it is
we'll"
