The Chief Feature was the Excitement In

rho Shiet fenture was tho Excitement In
 Sugar Stock.
 New York. Dec. Misrepresentation at the stock exchange was more active and business was better distributed than for long time. American Sugar figured for the enormous total of l75, 900 shares. The reasons advanced for the rise from STA yesterday to s4 at the close to-day. ex-dividend of per cent, did not satisfy the street. The prac- tical defeat of the free sugar bill and the advance in refined to-day of 1-1s cent per pound in the opinion of most operators hardly accounts for the en- hancement noted and there is more than suspicion that there Is a big fight going on among the insiders.
 It will be remembered that President Havemeyer in his interview previous to the declaration of the regular dividend stated that the trade was in poor shape and that he had ordered the closing down Of all the trust refinerles. Subse- iaSHay iiC OIutE WdS IIloulIl6u anu later when the directors met he was overruled in the matter of the dividend This, 1t Is claimed, has created internal dissensions and one of the biggest bat ties in the history of this most phe- nomenal stock Is now going on. The average trader Is not disposed to touch the stock and the giants of the sugar trade have the field to themselves. The outcome, 1t Is needless to add, is awaited with the greatest interest. Notwithstanding the excitement in Sugar operators paid considerable at tention to the railway list. The street has come to the conclusion that the senate will pass the Patterson pooling bill and that, too. at an early date. The impression also prevails that the Rock Island directors who are to meet shortly will see their way clear to declare the usual dividend. Further more earnings this month are likely to make a good showing as compared with the corresponding period last year. These factors caused g. complete change of sentiment and there was good buy ing for both accounts. Neither Lon- don selling nor the engagement of $2,- 5OO,OoO gold for shipment to Europe on Saturday, had any effect. The improve ment In prices ranged from F to lA per cent, and as rule the best figures of the day were current at the close.
 Speculation left off strong. Net changes show gains of # to 1A pe: cent outside of Sugar. which rose 3's per cent. Buffalo, Rochester and Pitts burg preferred brought 55 against 70 the last previously reported sale
 The bond market was strong. Sales were $1,5S6,0O0.

 one known as "Kinne's tavern" which stood in front of the present Bulletin office, and the other known as "Bowles tavern" on Little Water street. The two or three primitive churches that were then standing have long since been swept away by fire or modern improvements. But very few of the old buildings that were then in exist ence are to be seen now In those times deacons of churches, who kept stores, sold rum as freely 10 their GUS toners. with as little compunction. as they did molasses. or whale oil for lighting their lamp, At funerals and weddings neither was considered com plete without serving after the ceremo- nies to the clergyman. the mourners. at the funeral. and guests at the we'd.
 Mir. Ridgeway relates that he was in Philadelphia in 1874. and saw
 THE FIRST STEAMBOAT that made Its trial trip down the Della ware river from Trenton to Philadel- phia. It was but three years after Robert Fulton made the experimental trip in the first steamboat ever built on the Hudson river. The approach of the steamer, as 1t came down the Dela- ware river and made Its moorings at the Philadelphia docks, he distinctly remembers. The large crowd that had gathered to see the landing of the ma rine monster were almost paralyZed with fear. The steamer rudely built, with antiquated wheels and machiner- ry, vomiting forth fire and smoke, was a source of wonderment and terror to the beholders as 1t came down the riv- CT on dark, stormy night. Many of the nervous people left the wharf fear ing the monster would explode and kill everybody in the radius of several miles. Although Mir. Rldgeway is in his ninety-fifth year. he retains his full faculties, with the exception of his heaing, which troubles him somewhat. He has been a boarder at the Ameri- can house for a number of years The excellent health which he has enjoyed for nearly a century may be ascribed to the excellent care he has taken of himself. He has always been strict ly temperance man. He has never been addicted to even tasting of strong drinks of any kind-not even wine or cider.
 WHEN HE CAME TO NORWICH IN 1919 he learned the shoemaker's trade of William LHommedieu, and afterwards was in the employ of William G. John- son, of Uncasville, who for several years was in the shoe business in this city. Later he was partner of Colonel Gurdon A. Jones, and for a number of years occupied the store west of N. Douglas Sevin on Main street.
 It would take too much space to give all his "reminiscences of ancient Nor wich, but this being his birthday, he would undoubtedly be pleased to re- ceive calls and give any information that may be asked of him of events and incidents that happened "in ye olden history" of Norwich.

 Were 1t not for England Herat in the south of Afghanistan. would now also be in the hands of the Russians. and the subsequent annexation of Afghan lstan would be but a question of time. IL is due to this jealousy between two of the greatest powers of the world that Afghanistan has still retained her independence. and to the credit of the Emir. 1t must be conceded that he has taken advantage of the situation with true Oriental shrewdness. s'~
 England Is not anxious to absorb Af- ghanistan in her Indian possessions be- cause of the obstinacy and natural de- ceitfulness and all-around cussedness of the Emir's subjects, though no more desirable, aggrandizement could be found.

England is contepted. to keep Afghanistan In It's neutral state. For years the Emir refused anything more than mere assurance of friendship to England. forbade unfiinchingly the building of English railroad and tele- graph lines In his dominion and placed heavy tax on all imports from India. Only of late. after England had as- sisted the Emir with money and arms against the rebellious mountalneers in the north of his empire. was she per mitted to establish consulship in Ca bool and to arbitrate in boundary con- flicts of the Pamir plateau.
