MR.. BoNzEY ON THE WINTER.
The Outlook for Wet Rather Than Very
Cold Weather Saws Maine Eypart

The Outlook for Wet Rather Than Very
Cold Weather, Says Maine Expert.
| Veazie, Me-, Nov 1.-THE lumber
men, farmers and sailors who live in
| and around Bangor, say that Ezekiel
| Bonzey of this town can make better
| fitting weather and turn it out more
nearly true to name than the govern
ment experts In Washington. He has
been making small patches of common
weather for home consumption for
more than fifty years, but never tried
| his hand at manufacturing tempests I'M
til four or five years ago. On making
| brew Of meteorological phenomena he
| uses the old stock regulation goods
such as husks on corn ears, fur on wild
animals, goose bones and spider webs,
and then spices the whole lot with some
choice ingredients of his own, by which
means he has been able to give the
Washington people cards and spades
and still beat them at their own game.
At the present time Mr.. Bonzey car
ries stock of weather Sufficient to sup
ply customers for six months to come.
The latter days of November and early
December will be cold, with snow
enough for sleighing. A week before
Christmas thaw will set in which will
fill the ponds and lakes and leave the
roads muddy. Bare ground and
wretched roads will aggravate the trav-
elers until about February /. Then
there will be several falls of soft snow,
which will soon melt and run off
March will have alternate storms of
snow and rain. April will be very cold,
and not until May 10 will the farmers
be able to work their land. The winter
will be bad one for the lumbermen,
because there will be little snow upon
which to haul logs. Southeast gales
with binding sleet and rain will sweep
the coast, making 1t dangerous for
shipping. 1t will be a light winter on
fuel. Men who are thinking of purchas-
ing heavy overcoats had better invest
their money in rubber boots and quiz
nine, because it Is going 10 be a wet
winter when bad colds and pneumonia
will prevail.
That is Mr.. Bonzey's idea of the out
look

THE STOCK MARKET,

| Was Narrow md CoIorIess Yesterday
| New York, Dec 1.-The stock market
to-day was narrow and coloress. Pro
fessional operations were responsible
for whatever movement took place and
changes on this account were not well
maintained owing to the desire of the
professionals to close up their contracts.
The organized buying Of the trunk lines
and some other stocks early in the week
seemed to be entirely discontinued and
these stocks reacted on profit taking.
New York Central sold with the rights
subscribed to the new stock issue de-
Quoted from the price. There were
sales of these rights at from 7-8 to
5 IL. Union Pacific and Northern Pa
eific showed some strength and there
was an attempt to advance some of the
iron and steel stocks which proved only
partly successful Some Of the promi-
nent specialties suffered from bear
pressure. notably Sugar, Brooklyn
Transit and the Eastern New York
traction stocks and the Tobacco is
sues. The advance In the Bank of Eng
land from to s per cent. is accepted
lands policy to keep control of the
open money market with the purpose
of keeping rates so as to attract funds
to London for the future needs Of the
market.
Sterling exchange both here and in
Paris harden in response to the condi-
tions in London, where, however the
money rate reacted slightly from yes
terday's level. Call money in New
York did not rise above six per cent.
and preliminary estimates tend to show
that to-morrow's bank statement will
reflect still further Improvement in
the condition of the banks. The gain
in cash resources however, will come
wholly from subtreasury opera tons on
which account the banks have gained
50, 100000 including bond redemptions
and receipts on account of gold de-.
posted at interior points. On the in
terror money movement by express the
banks have sustained net loss of over
100000.
Bonds were quiet and prices were
shaded in the majority of issues. Total
sales par value $1,34000O

SHAFTER'S CUBAN PULLET.
The Pathetic Story of the Generals Ac-
quirement of Feathered Mascot

| The Pathetic Story of the Generals Ac
quirement of Feathered Mascot.
In General Skaters quarters at Sar
| Francisco is fine, glossy, ''black Span.
ish" pullet, which, II 1t had the power
| of speech, could tell thrilling and pa
| thetic story. Early in July, 1898, when
the American army in Cuba was sup
| plying food to the starving reconcentra-
| dos in FL Caney, terrific storm
wrought such havoc to the roads that it
became impossible to convey further
supplies to the town. General Shafter
therefore issued an order that all who
were able might walk to his camp, six
miles away, and draw rations.
The order set in motion one of the
saddest professions that ever followed
in the wake of war. Ragged, hungry,
weak, emaciated a line of spectres dali
ly wound Its awful length through
swamp and mud and jungle toward the
food.
Lieutenant Brooke and an interpreter
were returning to camp from Ell Caney
one day when they saw little band of
the reconcentrados ahead Of them. Be-
hind the men and women Jagged six
year-old boy. He was evidently sick
and weary unto death, but still he tot
tered persistently on.
At length, his last ounce of strength
gotne, he fell, and lay there in the mud,
unable to rise. His father and mother
glanced back at him stolidly and went
on. Their own strength would be hard
ly sufficient to carry them to camp. and
suffering had dulled their sensibillties
If he could not keep up he must die
where he fell
Lieutenant Brooke dropped from his
horse, picked the little fellow up, and
galloped into camp with him. There he
fed him till he could eat no more,
wrapped him in warm blankets and left
him to the long, dreamless sleep of ex-
hausted childhood An old Cuban wo-
man washed his little cotton shirt and
trousers, and after few days rest he
was sent back to FL Caney with gem
erous supply of provisions.
Two days later the little fellow still
weak and pale, again appeared in camp.
Going straight to Lieutenant Brooke,
he took small chicken from inside his
little shirt, and with tears in his eyes
presented it. 1t was the only thing he
could give him, he said, to show his APP
probation of the senor's kindness. He
had walked all the way from Eel Caney
through the deep mud, and after he had
made his humble present he walked
back.
Lieutenant Brooke took the chicken to
General Shafter and told it's story The
central tethered it to his tent pole. |
When he entered Santiago he took the
bird with him. There her nightly roose
was a gilded chandelier in the COVER |
1ors palace. When the army moved |
out to camp again the chicken went, |
100. Later she journeyed to Montauk |
Point thence to Governors Island, and !
now she struts and scratches and cac-
Sles contentedly in San Francisco, a
living reminder of a deed of mercy, a
pathetic acknowledgment of the graft

will always recall las

HOUSEKEEPING MONEY"

The much discussed question OF the
wife's allowance, or the housekeeping
money" might readily find solution
in the old saying, place confidence in
a woman's ability to act and she will
repay it; doubt her executive powers
refuse her respOnsibility-and you may
rue it," II every man would pay his
wife weekly sum for the housekeep-
ing EXPENSES, clothing, etc, he would
find that in nine cases out of ten her
management of the fund would increase
not only his comfort, but that of the
whole house. If she is equal to the
task OF being wife and mother, she is
also equal to the task of supplying and
paying for the daily necessities OF the
home. II she is head manager of the
housekeeping department she will take
pride and pleasure in making one cent
20 great wav, much further Than man
could make a hundred and fifty 20,
when expended for household uses. She
will make calculations about the ex-
penditure of the weekly sum, and lay
ny certain amount toward buying
certain supplies in quantities. She
will soon learn that there is no econ
omy in buying soap by the bar, and
starch, sugar and flour by the pound.
She will systemic her affairs and take
pride in her well-kept accounts; and
the very fact that the expenditure OF
money belongs to her will sweeten her
life, give zest to her occupations and
make her more cOntented in her home
life.-Farmers Home Journal.

The CENSUS YEAR.

Next y ear is going to be a great CEN
sus year, indeed. Not only will the re-
gular decennial enumeration be made
i'll our country, but with a few excep-
tions all the counties of the world will
Join in a world census. of which our
own will be undertaken in
accordance with the plans made at the
recent meeting of the International
Statistical Association at Berne, Swift
zerland. There has never been, of
course, anything like real count Of
the people on the globe, nor even sat
isfactory estimate. China, Persia, Siam,
Afghanistan and Turkey have never
had official counts, and obviously large
areas OF Africa are beyOund the reach
% the enumeraior. But now Ii Hung
Chang has promised that China will
count its population in 1900, and efforts
will be made to get the other uucounted
nations to have census taken. The
result should be fuller information than
ever before possessed, though real ac-
curacy is altogether out OF the question.
Many governments lack. the crganiza-
ton and the high degree of efficiency
and skin required for such work. The
latest scientific estimate of the worlds
population, by the way, places it at
seventeen hundred million

GOOD CHEER FOR DEMOCRATS.

The result of The Maynrality election
in Baltimore is another bit OF evidence
showing that the independent, non
partisan voters of the country are turn
ing 10 the Democratic party for RELIEF
from Republican incompentency. job
berry, extravagance and imperialistic
tyranny. In November, 1896. McKin.
ley had lead of 81 600 over Bry an in
the city. but in May, 1899 the Democ-
raoy wins by 5000.
Baltimore city has a population oil
over half million and casts vote OF
100000 or more So that the change in
political opinion during the last two
years and half has been enormous,
and may well be called a revolution
The Republicans try to conceal the
magnitude of their defeat by ascr;bine
it to local issues, and to poor candI-
dates on their side and good ones Oh
the other, but this is simply confessing
that the Democracy. chastened by de-
feat, has reinstdted itself in the afTec
tiOns, and that all that the Democratic
party has to do to win hereafter Is to
live up to its traditions by preserving
harmony in its own ranks and putting
forward as its standard bearers men
who are worthy of the honor.
