The Big Candle.

At s o'clock yesterday morning
the Wall, Nichols Co.'s big candle
was lit by b. l.. Finney of the
BULLETIN, and all day long there
was Q big crowd at the window
watching it burn and specializing
how long it would be before it was
consumed. The candle went out
at25 minutes past midnight, being
exactly 16 hours and rs minutes
in burning. The nearest guess to
the time was @. d. Chase, who
guessed 16 hours and half, and
he was announced rs the winner
of the prize Fischer piano. There
were about 1000 guesses in all,
ranging from one hour to two
weeks.

meeting of the Board held on

DR.. Monsarrat and Fish In
spector Keliipio made the regular
weekly reports which were
fled.
The question of raising taro at
the settlement was finally referred
to Superintendent Meyers.
In the matter of medical exami-
nation of the public school child
rem, the Board decided to require
all school teachers to have the
prescribed examination completed
at the end of two weeks after the
opening of the schools.
A discussion was had on the
odorless excavators and the vile
smells caused by them in the
neighborhood of the Pacific Mail
wharf but no action was taken to-
wards abating the nuisance.
The application Of japanese
for permission to open a drug
store was brought up and the APP
plicant examined. AS it appeared
that he intented to go into the
business of dispensing physicians,
prescriptions without any knowl-
edge of the English or Latin
languages the matter was deferred
for Further consideration.
The Board then went into ex-
ecutive session, without which it
seems impossible to do the regular
business.

The average business man loses

 The matter of drainage of storm waters should receive immediate at tention. While other improvements may be forced to wait until more pros porous times, some system of open ditches should be established now which will be useful to the city even after adequate sewer outlets have been built. I recommend that the council study this problem at once. a

Kleptomarla.

To believe French writer, there are no fewer than four thousand women caught every year in stealing during their shopping expeditions, habit eu- phoniously styled kleptomania. The number of titled ladies seized with this strange malady while examining the fashions of Paris, he tells us. is incred- ible. Among the most recent culprits were a Russian duchess, French countess, an English duchess and the daughter of reigning sovereign. As rule, these distinguished offenders are let off on the payment of round sum for the relief of the poor; when the shoplifter is known to be rich, the sum extracted rises to as much as ten thousand francs. The police authori- ties consent to this sort of conformation.

Total receipts s3776 O2
 Deuuctlng receipts es from expenses anu Wnere remains a net expense of So,SSz.Sl for the quarter. or $2,23O.93 per month.
 A saving of nearly $20O0 per an- mum in interest will be effected as soon as the 10 per cent outstanding war rants can be funded into per cent oo-year bonds, as authorized at the special election June 2, 1896.
 The receipts for this first quarter are the smallest in the year and will not be materially increased during the second quarter. But taxes during the third and fourth quarter, from Novem- per l, 1896, to May 1, 1897, bring up the total of receipts so that the an nual revenues of the city are expected to more than equal the expenses, a re- suIt as satisfactory as could be ex- pected during the present universal stringency.
 mus far during the present year no extensive Improvements have been adopted, as it was not thought wise to increase taxes during the uncertain nnanclal conditions now prevailing. SA oAiO COuuCIl an or nclal survey and map of the streets. alleys and blocks and this year the grades Of streets, alleys and sidewalks are being established.

 Tne city is steadily growing and ere long must solve the problems of street proVements, adequate sewage facilities. ana water supply. During the present year four additional hydrants have been ordered for the protection of building from fire and since Septem- per last the arc street lamps have been increased from forty-fo to fifty, as new churches and other buildings ren- dered necessary and the petitions of taxpayers justified.
 All expenditures are carefully scru- tlnlzed and not dollar is ordered paid except upon voucher duly au- thenticated by the officer authorized to make expenditure, and only then af- ter the finance committee has approved the voucher and the council duly or

 It will be seen that of the total run ming expenses for the first quarter, to wit: $9,081 .33, over AZ per cent or $3,- S50.33, is devoted to street purposes, for sprinkling, electric lighting, culverts, bridges, garbage, zanjero, surveying and new intersectional cement side walks.
 The fire department has been main tained with an available force of 125 men, one engine, one hook and ladder truck and three hose carts, at a month- ly expense of $1135O.
 The expenses of the police depart ment average $3o705 per month. De- ducting the average amount of $S8 worked out by prisoners monthly, this expense is reduced to $30900 per month, certainly a very reasonable charge for preserving peace and order among 2,0O0 people.
 The fines collected in the recorders court($510.5O were sufficient to pay the city clerk, recorder and interpreter and leave surplus of $1S9. If this latter amount were credited to the police de- parment, where the arrests for which fines were imposed originated, the monthly expense for police would be still further reduced by $63, or to $24O. In the fall, winter and spring months, when vagrants crowd into the city the labor of the chain gang thereby ere ated will more than pay all expenses of the police department.
 To this quarterly running expense of S9.OS1 .33 must be added a quarterly interest charge of s6S75O on the out standing bonded indebtedness and a like charge of about $10O for inter est on outstanding warrants subject to call at any time. The total expense of the city for the first quarter of the fiscal years 1S96-97 is therefor $10, 76S.S3, or $3,589.61 per month.
 Against this quarterly expense must be offset the quarterly receipts of 1 $3,776.O2 as follows:

STILL 4 MYSTERY.
Macco's Alleged Death Not Yet Ac-
ccptcd us Fact.

HABANA. December 10th, via KEY
WEST, FLA, December 16.-Maceo's
death is still surrounded with mystery.
The body is stil undiscovered and no
further proofs have been adduced, ex-
cept the official statement. which leads
the Cubans to think he is still alive. In
fact. the residents Of Punta Brava, the
vicinity In which the engagement occur
red, disbelieve the story Xertucha con-
tinues TO give contradictory evidence. He
now says the knife captured belongs TO
Gomez's son. and not TO Maceo. The
Cubans consider it significant that the
objects captured are not shown. and also
the alleged written statements of Gomez's
son. 1t is also significant that no Cubans
have surrendered since the leaders al
legged death. proving that 1t will not af-
feet the revolution. or that Maceo is not
dead.
More rumors are anoat in connection
with Maceo's death. and all are confusing.
One is that a major at Cabazzars. Ma
tanzas. telegraphed that Maceo had
passed near that town with large force.
Another is that Aguirre has written under
date Of the 10th. but does not mention the
fact Of Maceos death. Many couriers
have been sent TO investigate, but have
not returned.
The Cubans disbelieve the story that
Maceo was killed by treachery. They say
Maceo was not easily trapped. and would
not ACCEPT flags Of truce even from
Ahumada. He knew the gentleman by
reputation.
AUTHORITIES AT LOGGERHEADS.
The marine authorities are indignant
AT Weyler's statement that Maceo
crossed the trocha in a boat, and ii is
said have cabled to Spain, protesting
The Minister laid the fact before the
Cabinet meeting.
The relations of the naval and military
authorities are strained.
The demonstration IN Weyler's honor
was simply 10 cover the failure in Pinar
del Rio. II is easy to organize any de-
monstration i'm Habana. counting. with
the volunteers, the great numbers on
semi-military organizations, who are
forced TO obey orders. Crowds will gath
| er just as in other places, ana Will
/ cheer for the sake of excitement.
II is said friction has occurred between
Weyler and Civil-GOvernor Poruna, on
account of the formers not promoting
! Chief-of-Police Labarrera, who is only
a major of the civil guard.
Reports from the field are scarcer every
day The government is hiding all i'm
portant engagements. 1t IS said seve-
| raj encounters have occurred in Pinai
del Rio and Matanzas. but the details
| are suppressed. In fact. the government
| is trying to impress upon the public that
.he rebel ranks are demoralzed since
/ Maceo's alleged death. and shirk fights
/ Quite to the contrary, the rebels are dis
| playing more activity even in the vicinity
of the city. where outposts are fired upon
nightly. The same happens at Guiana
| bacoa. and other surrounding towns.
