Never, perhaps, within the memory
of the Oldest inhabitant has there been
a March SO disagreeable SO for as the
weather is concerned as the mouth
that has just passed. II variety
is the spice of life the people have
needed no other c0ndiment. Every
March is supposed to be off color,
when it comes to meteorological con-
ditions, but the month that has just
closed has certainly furnished the
worst quality of tough weather that 1t
has ever been our pleasure (?) to ex-
perieace. In the drama of the year,
we believe the play would be fully as
agreeable to the great audience If sput-
tering, disagreeable, cranky March
was ''cut out"

The farmer who farms his land to
make the most dollars out of the prod
ucts of it must of necessity dispense
with timothy il he wishes to keep his
acres in heart, and it stands him in
hand to do that. He can grow peas
and clover and add to the fertility of
his soil but timothy does nothing to-
wards it. 1t may enchance fertility by
furnishing the land weli-earned rest,
aud when stock is pastured the returns
obtained through natural channels
would necessarily conserve fertility to
some extent, but selling timothy hay is
slowly selling the land by the ton.-

Eight OF the fifteen brightest stars
ever seen in these latitudes are visible
On the March evenings. Thay are in
the order OF their brightness, Cirrus,
Capella, Rgel, Procyon, Betelgeuese,
Aldebaran, Pollux and Regulus. Add
to this the list of the planet Mars, also
visible now, which is in nowise dimmed
by such illustrious company, and it will
be seen that March is very important
mouth in the calendar of the amateur
astronomer. Mars and its eight stellar
associates are easily located. The
planets ruddy light and steady glow
make 1t the most noticeable object high
in the northeast after night fall.

net advances were generally below the
extreme rise. Buying for London ac-
count was about equal to yesterdays
selling for the same account. There
was some covering also by local bears.
The active buying movement in the
railroads fell off very largely after the
first hour.
With the comparative dullness Of
railroads and reaction in prices on re-
alizing came renewed activity in the in
dustrial specialties. These occupied the
forefront Of the speculation for the rest
OF the day, The tobacco stocks and
the local municipal stocks were at
tackled by the bears for effect on the
general market, and Tennessee Coal was
under pressure. On the other hand,
Brooklyn Transit continued to be Wig

James M. brennan yesterday morning
and agreed to assist the police in keep

bounds of the law.
The visit was result of a petition

1t was addressed to the mayor and
board of aldermen and was originally
sent to Mayor Dodge, who referred it to
the board of aldermen, and later it was
sent to Chief brennan with a request
that he act on it.
Tuesday officer Henry A. Laviolette

impossible to keep the members of the
colony quiet as they represented many
different tribes in their home countries
and had q dozen different religious be-

for the peace and quiet of the neighbor-
hood to the best of their ability and
would also pass some time among their
countrymen explaining things Chief
brennan allowed them to depart and
will await developments before taking
further action.

collectors and agents whose duty it
is to ascertain and report for assess
ment the so per cent. and 100 per cent.
penalties imposed by law will be guided
by the following instructions in COM
putting the said penalties:-
"a SO per cent. penalty is due in every
case where the required return is not
made within the time prescribed by
law, or within the additional 80 days
which the collector may excuse a per-

"a penalty of 100 per cent is always
computed upon the amount actually
due over and above that shown to be
due by the false return.
when both these penalties are in
CURED for the same period they are
assessable at the time. AS they accrue
for different reasons, they are in no way
interdependent upon each other, and the
