thrilling intere - ANYTHING ever seen
IN their long anu varied experience in
the bio forest and mountain fast
nesses OF Mount Tacoma.
The three men were on the trail
headed for Indian Henry's Happy
hunting Grounds, when a singular
noise in the bushes a short distance to
one side of the trail attracted their
attention, and on breaking their way
through the underbrush in the direc-
tIon whence the noise proceeded, their
eyes rested on a spectacle rarely seen
IN the animal kingdom.
small but pluclIy bear cub, which
mad evidently been left by its mother
only short time, was having a fierce
battle with two large bull snakes. 1t
proved to be an unequal conflict. In
vain the little bear used his claws and
teeth, though putting up a vicious
fight.
One of the big reptiles succeeded in
winding itself around the body of the
cub, and getting in position to squeeze
the breath nearly out of him. The 9TH
er snake, after a hard struggle, got a
coil around the cubs neck, and then
managed to drag him up over the limb
of tree, thus effectually hanging him,
and ending the struggle in a few min
utes- Hunters say these big bull
snakes are rarely seen. They are
afraid of men, and seek the seclusion
of the rocks and woods.

SHADE GROWN TOBACCO.
Connecticut Method Likely to

Connecticut Method Likely to be
 Adopted by Porto Rican Planters.
 Connecticut methods of growing to- bacco under cheesecloth tents seem to be making rapid headway in the island of Porto Rico, according to the state- ment of William J. Hayes, of Tariff vile, who has just returned from a to- bacoo plantation in the island, where he conducting experiments. For two years various growers in this state have been studying the effects ofa to- bacco crop raised under tents, and the good results have led to a general adoption of tenting methods, In good seasons tobacco under cheesecloth tents will, it has been found, grow to unu- sual heights, retain all of the excel- fences of the smaller plants, grow more leaves and take on finer flavor. Farmers in the Connecticut valley have generally studied the new method, and will this coming summer go into the business on large scale.
 MT. Hayes has been in Porto Rico two months experimenting experi- ments on planta tion near San Juan, owned by Raphael Gonzales. He says, in speaking of the experiments:
 There is no reason why Connecticut methods will not in time have general trial all over the island. We are now making the first trial of tent raised tobacco there, using about an acre for the experiment. In two months from planting the plants have grown two feet and promise fine results. The tent method seems to be peculiarly adaptable to the island. We have found that wind, rain and too hot suns are tempered by the covering, and that it keeps off worms. bugs and fleas, as well as other pests. l think that by next year tent raised tobacco will be general throughout our part of the is- land. Already we are being watched by scores of planters, who are receiving the new idea with much interest.

 THE STOCK III 4ARKEI.
Year's Trading Closes With a Dcmon-
 strafion of Coufldcnce.

New York, Dec. 31.-The year closed on the stock exchange with a demon stration of confidence in the substantial basis of values. The immediate factors were somewhat conflicting and the early market was irregular The pub lication of yearly summaries showing a record of achievements in excess of any preViousy ear had a strong senti- mental effect. Confidence was general that the turn of the year would see a relaxation of the money allowing means for speculation to express it's confidence by purchase of stocks. The money was decidedly stringent and ac. tive, the rate going 15 per cent. early in the day and lowering about that point at later periods. The shifting of loans forced some holders of stock to throw them over but other buyers were ready to take them, who seemed to be provided with ample funds which were no taeffcted by the shifting of call loans The activity in the call loan market, how. how every, was attributed In part to teh means for large buying of stocks which was again In evidence, and which was rather better ,ids distributed than that of yesterday, Prepa.

Physicians Not Ready to Diagnose His
 Case Publicly.
 Bristol, Dec. 31.--Two more smallpox patients were taken to the pesthouse to-day, making five now there. The new inmates are MT. and Mrs. Edward Foley. MT. Foley is brother of two of the young women who have been sick with the disease, so there are now four members of the Foley family in the pesthouse.
 Dr. Arthur S. Bracket, who attended a variolo'd patient and was afterward taken sick, remains in about the same condition as on yesterday, and his phy- sician is not yet ready to diagnose the case publicly, though it was announced last night that it would be definitely known within twenty-four hours whether or not pr. Bracket is suffering from smallpox.

CITY,s BONDED DEBT.
Reduced Over $4OO,000 in the Past
 Year,


 On October 1, 1900, the bonded indebt- edness of the city was $3,490,9OS,S9. on October 1, 1901, the bonded indebtedness was $3, ,10S, ,4OS. .S3, which, with other re- auctions in interest account and float ing debt represents total reduction of city indebtedness of $i07,50O.
 This reduction of the debt of the city represents in one year reduction in four mills of taxation. Whether 1t would be wise, when making up the budget for 1903, to reduce the taxation, the four mills gained in the reduction of bonded and floating indebtedness of this year must remain for the board or finance to determine. The official state ment given out yesterday by Controller Rowe perhaps best tells the story. It is as follows:

CHILD'S DEATH MYSTERIOUS.
Medical Examiner in Partial Report
 Says Culpable Neglect

Says Culpable Neglect
 Derby, Dec. 31.-Peculiarities attend ing the death within twenty-four hours of twin children of MT. and Mrs John Sinklevion of this city, have led to an investigation by the medical examiner. The inquiry thus far fails to show the presence of any poison, but it is expect ed that post-mortem examination will be made to solve the doubt as to the cause of the children's death.
 In partial report to the coroner the medical examiner describes the case as an instance of culpable neglect. The coroner has not yet decided whether he will take action.

PLENTY OF WATER.

Beaver Brook Reservoir Nearly Full
 -Samp Mortar Rock Running Over.
 The Beaver Brook dam, north of Stratford, is completed and the recent rains are rapidly filing the reservoir The last rain raised the level of the surface about two feet. The water is now about r feet from the top of the dam, which is 40 feet in height The estimated capacity of the reservoir is 400 900, ,000 gallons, and as soon as it is convenient the water will be used from this source. The gate fixtures are not ready as yet, owing to delays in secur- ing iron work. The pipe line from the reservoir to Barnum avenue in Strat- ford is completed, and in the course of time it is the intention of the Bridge port Hydraulic company to continue it through Barnum avenue to this city.
 The Samp Mortar Rock reservoir in Fairfield has been completed for some time The capacity of the reservoir is 200, ,OO0 900 gallons. At the present time the water is running over the spillway at a depth of IS inches. As the spill way is 1855 feet wide considerable water is running over daily The falls formed by this overflow are a handsome sight The boilers of the pumping station have been set and. it now remains to set up the pump and make the steam connections. The north side of the dis tributing reservior on Osborne hill is completed. It Is intended to have the other half built on the side of the property owned by the water company, so that one or both distributing reser- voirs may be used at time. As soon as the pumping apparatus Is in work ing order this distributing reservoir will be used to supply Fairfield and South port.
