TAE CANARY BIRD INDUSTRY

About $50, 600 canaries are raised every
year In Germany. 100. eco Of them being
sent yearly to The United States, $4,000 to
Great Britain, Brazil, Chile and the
Argentine Republic. Ordinary birds
fetch from rs cents to 81 apiece, while
birds bred in the Hartz mountains are
sold from prices varying from 50. SO to IS.
Two thirds Of the birds sent to the United
States are imported by German resi-
dent in New York, who, in his turn, buys
them from different parts of Germany.
In the Hnrtz mountains this dealer has
a bird-cage factory which turns out ma
terial for 1000 bird cages daily, and the
peasants take. home bundles of 1t for
making cages in their leisure moments.
From Hanover the birds are shipped to
New York, via Bremen, with attendants
to look after them. Each lone has 1000
birds to attend TO, in 1000 separate little
cages; one of these men has crossed the
A tlantic over 100 times in charge Of
birds.
On their return voyage they take back
with them American birds and animals,
chiefly Mexican and Cuban parrots, and
in this way the dealer has Teen known
to import 10, 600 canaries from Germany,
and export there 5000 Virginia cardinal
birds, 1900 indigo birds, SEQ hooking
birds and several dozen SEA lions from
San Francisco.
In a single year the value Of canaries
raised in Germany is estimated at $3.50, 0l0
and it is satisfactory to learn that the
greater part of this sum goes into the
pockets of the very poor.

found, though Il Is still a question OF
whether be VIII live TO return to his
home In Nashua or not.
On June Q. O. 8. Greslsy Of Nashua
diEappeared from bome leaving no trace
Of his whereabouts behind him. He IL n
iunn AZ years old and was well known in
Nashua. having besn the yard master
for the Boston and Maine railroad there
for some years. His sudden disappearance
could not be accounted for by his family.
They believed that he had wandered
away while deranged and taken his own
life. 1he alarm was given after few
days when Greeley failed to return home
and the mans description was sent to all
parts Of the country out no trace Of him
could be found. The river at Nashua was
dragged for several days with no result
and at last the man was given up as
dead and his family and friends
wou IN ed him as such.
Sometime about the first of June q man
who called himself by the uncommon
name of Smith came to Portland and
sought work of the Grand Trunk railroad
in their freight yards. He obtained work
and went to board at private house In
East Deering where he went by the name
Of Smith and was generally liked and re-
specied. He worked hard and late at
nj yht day after day and kept much to
himself. The family with whom he lived
knew nothing of Smiths antecedents and
he was not at all communicative regard
ing himself.
On Tuesday of last week Smith was SO
SICK that he was unable to return to his
work. lie grew rapidly worse and his
landlady cent for tho city authorities and
had him taken to the hospital at the
Aims house where he might be properly
cared fur. The city physician found the
uan suffering from an absoess on his side
and that to save his life an operation
would be necessary. This operation was
a very dangerous one to perform and the
man was told that his condition was
critical in the extreme. Yesterday was
u g time set for she operation to take
place. On Wednesday morning Smith
St Mt for the hospital steward and told
him that his real name was o. s. Greeley
and that he lived In Nashua, N. H., He
ass Ell the steward to write to his wife and
this was done. Saturday came Greeley's
son, tae next day the wife and yesterday
a woman who turned out to ae Greeley's
81 ster from California whom he hadn't
seen for fifteen years. 10 the meantime
the operation had been performed and the
chances are about even of Greelsy's
living. His wife hns cast aside the
wldew's weeds md is constantly by his
side nursing him back to life and
strength. The man has vouchsafei no in
Z irination as tn why he left Nashua and
10 questions hava Teen asked him. He is
receiving the best possible care at the
hospital and may live to return to his
home onos more.

| nrr. Cloud v Raares Up Some Old Matters
and Scores the Board of Aldermen.
AS Is usual nearly all of the interest
! ing business before the City Council may
be looked for to first make it's appearance
In the Common Council. The session
last evening was no exception to this
rule, MIR. Phillips introduced an order
granting Nelson Sweeney. an employe Cd
the city electrieisn's department leave
of absence for three months. Mr. Phillips
said that this man fell from an electric
light pole In Deering some time age
while at work for the city. The. canse Cd
his fall was his taking hold Of live wire
of the westbrook electric light company.
Sweeney had q narrow escape from in.
slant death and may mover be able to
work again. Abe order OF MIR. Phillips
passed unanimously In both boards.
/ Councilman Trun introduced an order
authorizing the purchase OF filing to
grade the Desiring high school lot. This
| order was passed in both boards.
Mr.. Griffin introduced an order trans
fesring $3.50 from the contingent fund to
the appropriation for salary Of seaier OF
| weights and measures. This order passed
both boards.
When the order appropriatina s5eo0 for
the paving of Washington street was iu-
troducsd one of the aldermen as a
.'joke," changed the order so that 1t read
to, pave the westerly side of this street
| instead of the easteriy side. MIR. Burke
introduced a new order to pave the east
erly side Of this street which was passed
| by both boards after a COMMITTEES of con.
| ference.
| air. Burke introduced an order autho.
rizing the appointment Of a COMMITTEES
to inquire into the feasibility of connect
| telephone or Telegraph. MIR. Burke said
that this was matter which should be
looked into by the city as the islands are
| now entirely shut or from help from
Portland for fire or police matters after
a certain hour. In justice to the ali the
/ year around residents of this territory
the city should attempt to have them
connected by telephone or telegraph In
some way. This order passed in boUh
boards.
4 Mr.. Connolly introduced a resolution
calling the attention of the county COM
missioners 20 the fact that no guard ran
is to be found on the Portland bridge.
1t was suggested in his resolution thai
the Portland Railroad company should
1 build such a guard rail to prevent such
an accident as happened in Stratford,
Conn. on Sunday.
Mr.. Geudy offered an amendment re-
qnssting the electric railroads operating
cars in Portland to pus suitable guard
on their cars to prevent people being run
over In the city streets. The resolution
Was hnally referred to the committee on
