CALAMITY won. MIR. President and fell
low-1nenbers, say this as one who was
born in this country-although am no
better than foreign born citizen who
pledges his word and honor to be with
the United States, and do not feel that
am any better. but if he wants to draw
the line on citizens born OF American
born people, | want to say to him that
stand here as one OF them who opposes
the erection OF any statue on Boston
Common and that if it ever goes there
/ am liable to be one OF the many to see
that it goes away. l trust that my order
will pass here unanimously.
Mr.. Linchan OF Ward I3-As the gen.
tleman in the first division refers to an
article in a certain paper, also would
like to call attention to an article which
appeared in the Boston Traveller, stating
that the men who favor such statue had
in their veins the blood OF grand old
revolutionary ancestors, patriotic peo-
pie OF davs gone by-not a muddy type.
/ would like to say, for the benefit OF the
Boston Traveller, that IN my veins is the
blood OF an English soldier. My father
served .all through the Crimean War.
He served sixteen years in the British
Army, and ii any one should favor the
erection OF a statue on Boston Common,
it should be the son of an English SOL
der; but | say that, out OF sentiment,
patriotism and common decency, l OPP
pose it.
The order was read a second time and
was passed. Sent up.
At.the meeting OF the board OF alder
men on Nov. 81, Councilman Watson's
order came up for action. On motion
of Alderman Berwin it was referred to
the committee on public Improvements,
which committee reported that it ought
to pass. The report OF the committee
was accepted by the board, and Chair
man Barr appointed Aldermen Berwin,
Doyle, Day Dixon and Brick to act
with a joi,,t committee from the council
in reques ing Mayor Quincy to revoke
the PERM sion given the Victorian Club
to erect the monument. Aldermen
Adams, Goldman, and Colby had been

THE WALL STREET TLUnnY
Dun's View as to Its Cause - Brnd-
streets Presentation Of the
Trade situation.

New York. Dec. 2S.--R. G. Dun &; Co.
weekly review of trade says: 1.-The worst
day in Wall street for years was in part
the legitimate result of the best year in
business ever known. Because the coun-
try had prospered SO greatly and had so
expanded it's business, 1t could no longer
afford to have many millions locked up in
carrying stocks representing Imaginary
values The question was not one of
monetary supply. When the country found
ample use for its capital in regular trade
and productive industry. q contraction Of
loans became necessary which would only
have been more painful if the volume of
stocks carried had been larger. Reckoning
from the highest general average last
spring, industrial stocks had fallen at the
close on Monday 2327 per cent: street
railroad stocks $3.50 per cent. and other
railroad and telegraph stocks only Go per
cent.
1.-THE business Of the country close to the
holidays is necessarily smaller than it has
been, and yet larger than at the same
date in any other year Exchanges through
principal clearing houses for the week have
been 1871 per cent. larger than last year,
and 5O.4 per cent. larger than in 1892 In
Guiding S2.1 per cent. gain In payments out
side New York. There is not even sus-
picion of unsoundness in any considerable
branch of industry or trade. the eXtraor-
warranted as the material gain in others.
Failures for the week have been 800 in
the United States, against 25S last year,
and 26 In Canada. against 81 last year.
Bradstreet's says: Holiday trade ac-
tivity, Of course. reaches its highest de-
velopment during the week now drawing
to close. and it is significant of the pros
porous conditions underlying the general
business situation that reports almost
without exception point to a volume of
business having few, If any, parallels in
previous years. Another significant fea-
ture developed also is that the demand for
such goods embraces q, higher class and
more expensive grade of materials. a
conclusion among trade reporters being
that a larger buying capacity exists now
than in any previous year in the country's
history
wholesale trade at this season usually
shows 4 uuieting tendency, but it is ques-
tionable whether this tendency IS as
marked this yearas in former periods. To
the advanced stage of the season chiefly.
and perhaps also to the sentimental effect
growing out of stringent money conditions
in speculative lines may be charged some
of the quietness noted. AS above init
mated. however, this is less marked than
in preceding years.

Boston, Dec. 23-Anothcr day of un-

began forcbodings were dire. But
prophesying and fears We're not real

The Bottle and the Message.

A form of ocean drift of special hu-
man interest is the bottle bearing its
message from the shipwrecked OF about
to be shipwrecked mariner, and of these
perhaps the most remarkable is that
which told of the burning Of the Kent
in midocean. This ship was on fire; the
end was approaching; there seemed no
hope of rescue. An officer on board
wrote message to this effect and COM
mitted it to the sea in q bottle. Some
months afterward the bottle was picked
up near the shore by fisherman. and
the message it contained was sent to
the very man who wrote it. He had
been rescued at the last moment and
soon after received promotion in India.
But the bottle thrown overheard has
also been used in the scientific study Of
ocean currents. Many such bottles have
had remarkable voyages and greatly in
creased our knowledge of the move
ments of the ocean Sir. James Ross, in
his famous antarctic voyage, threw
overheard number Of bottles in lati-
tude 81 degrees south to learn some
thing of the great currents which run
in that little known region in an east
erly direction all round the globe. One
of these bottles actually trayersed the
greater part Of the earth's circumfer-
ence, having come ashore off Cape Lip
trap. in South Australia Gentleman 9

The Woodchuck's Name.

Woodchucks are familiar creatures on
every farm in New England. and they
have extended their settlements beyond
the Mississippi One Of their most no.
ticeable traits is the throwing up Of
large piles of dirt in front of their bur-
rows. According to the author of ia
miliar Life In Field and Forest, it is
from this practice that the woodchuck
got his name.
In olden probably in the time
of Esop-the lower animals used to
live in one happy country with judge
over them-the dog. One day rabbit,
whose burrow adjoined that Of mar
mot, complained to the latter that the
little rabbits eyes were continually fill
ed with the dirt which he threw out OF
his burrow-

monstrance. and the rabbit was COM
PEELED to appeal to the judge. His honor

That settled it The dog has been
hunting for the gross offender ever
since, and the name "woodchuck has

she, procuring a needle and thread,
sought out an anteroom where she
thought they would be free from in

came along the corridor with the in

the same room. Mrs. Alderman look
