TO DIVIDE THE CITY.

Proposed Bill Provides for Fifteen
 Towns.
 A bill will be presented at the com ing session of the legislature providing that the city of New Haven be divided into fifteen towns, each having boun- diaries identical with the boundaries of the fifteen wards. The idea of this is to secure for New Haven a more equit- able representation in the legislature. The division into towns would give New Haven one representative for every r. 300 persons.

The stock Market.

New York, Dec 14.--Stocks rose frae- tionally to-day in many cases, while in some instances the gains were very considerable After an initial hesitan. cy a decided support developed in many spots. The boom in Americans in Lon- don paused, and there were realizing sales from that quarter but later the market there became firm. Sugar was feverishly heavy all day on reduction in the product, and lost 21s The de- moralization in this speciality helped the bears to make an impression after mid day and prices dipped consderabl but activity ceased, as usual of late, and a break and steadiness developed The Vanderbilts came into prominence, Lake Shore rising IS points above yes- terday's price. Canada Southern and New York Central were exceptionally active and moderate, purchases of other Vanderbilt properties resulted in gains
 in the group of l to points. The strength of that group sympathetically affected the rest of the list The con- tinuance of the cold snap and the re- sulting advance, in coal prices at some points benefited the coalers. The inn provement was most marked in Reading and Jersey Central. Federal Steel is sues moved upward on the published report, which, however lacked any con- firmation, that large block of floa ting stock, which menaced the market, had been removed by private purchases. Missouri Pacific crossed 46, which per haps may be attributed to reports cir culated after the close that it would come into possession of the Chicago and Alton. Western Union declined slightly on it's poor showing for the six months of the fiscal year. Northern Pacific was strong in expectation of a dividend on the common, which was subsequently, announced. Atchison continued it's up- ward movement on board room gossip of developments expected at next weeks meeting. Consolidated Gas, whose plant suffered a quarter of a million loss by accident yesterday, sold off sharply.

"Then the head Of the barrel fell
out?"
"No, 1t didn't exactly fall out"
Down at the far end of the platform

pipe and trotting her foot. AS l
looked at her the merchant softly
said:
Don't say anything to get her ex-

abolish all sweat shops and to make
the use of union labels so general as
to make an effective boycott on
sweat shop firms.

Should the war with Spain last for
hve years and should it be carried into
every one of her possessions, there
would be no such waste as was wit
messed during the dark days Of the
sixties. There would be no call to
gather such great armies-no demand
for such supply depots. Few men who
have not been through Il campaign can
comprehen the waste and destructive
ness of war. soldier in the field is
imbued with a spirit of recklessness
which is surprise to himself. He is
not only fierce to destroy the property
of the enemy, but he is wasteful of his
rations and all else served out to him
by the government. Let the commits
sary issue five days rations to 1000
men, and at the end of three not one
man in twenty will have an ounce of
food left. Let the quartermaster issue
1000 tents, and inside of a fortnight
half of them will show rents, cuts and
burns. No sooner is a new musket in
the hands of soldier than he defaces
the stock by cutting his initials there
on. Three men out of five would sooner
draw and pay for new blouse than
TO patch hole in an old one. The
waste in and around any camp con-
tanning q brigade is hundreds of dol
lars per day. The grimness of war
begins when an army corps takes up
its march through the enemy's coun-
try. Its march may be resisted or not,
but the results are the same. 1t is
waste and destruction from the begin

animal represented loss of 500. The
soldier sees reckless waste and wanton

enters camp, and it is not to be won

general policy.
When Mcclellan Reiterated.
Never was an army more abundantly
supplied than McClellan's before Rich
mond. From White House Landing to
his camps on the Chckahominy al
most every field was covered with sup
plies. In one great heap, covered with
tarpaulns, would be 10000 barrels of
pork, beef or flour; in another, the
same number of bales of hay or sacks
of oats; in a third, quartermaster
stores to the value of 100000. In one
field was park of 500 wagons and am
balances. More than 10000 extra
horses and mules had been brought
down, and there were thousands of
beef cattle to slaughter for daily use.
When it was decided to retreat to a
new base the question of saving this
vast accumulation was hardly debat-
ed. 1t is always the army to be saved
first. Not more than "a hours could be
given to sending off supplies over the
line of retreat, and the orders related
only to ammunition and food. All else
was to be sacrificed, and was sacri-
feed, and in a military sense the end
justified the commanders judgment.
1t was ordered that the torch be made
ready for everything which would
burn, and 5000 soldiers entered on the
work with exultation. The forage
would burn of itself, as was the case
