With three days cessation of br1si- ness in prospect there was a natural indisposition to take up new commit ments on the stock market until the regular routine is resumed, says Bank CT Clews. Important events, it must be remembered, are likely to shortly occur at the seat of war in the east. which would exercise a farreacbing effect on the European bourses. Again, only three years ago business was re stunned after the holidays to find the corn crop blasted by heat and drouth. This is not likely to happen again at the same date, but such remembrances induce caution. In few days. also, the St Louis convention will take place and the opposition candidate chosen. This event is not likely to go off so smoothly as it's predecessor at Chicago, and the probability of more or less exciting discussion acts as check upon stock market activity. Still an- other element, and the most important element Of all, is the crop situation. So far crop prospects are quite satisfac- tory, the promise being above the aver age. This development is, of course, imparting much more hopeful feeling in business circles, which has already been reflected in the stock market. Tn fact, it is question whether or not this advantage has not been sufficiently dis counted for the present. Unfavorable developments, from which escape can- not yet be assured, are quite possible, and it is unlikely that the season will go on without some setbacks, the chief advantage now being. that wheat, corn, cotton and other crops have reached a state of maturity where they are bet ter able to. withstand injury. Crop prospects are certainly encouraging, yet there Is danger in being too opti- mistic.

SATURDAY, JULY ?, 1904.

Monday will be the Glorious Fourth, :" when everybody with a spark of patriotism celebrates. Some honor the day by setting off fireworks, some by quiet day spent with friends dis cussing the days of their youth and what they used to do in the way of a celebration, and some, We are sorry to say, fill up with fire water and make themselves obnoxious to mankind gen. erally To the latter we say, don't do it In whatever manner you celebrate don't reduce yourself below the level of the brute. Waterbury for the first time in years is going to properly cele brate the day by grand display of music and fireworks in the evening. Everyone wants to and should see 1t and help make it the grand success the Business Mems association would have 1t. Let everyone lend hand and the day will be one long to be remembered In Waterbury.

TERRIBLE TURTLE AT LARGE.

Over Brewer way people are stay ing in at night for fear of a 31a foot trutle who has escaped from captiE- ity and is said to be more dangerous to meet than a bull dog. The ugly brute was captured at Illness pond a week ago, and it ?toola the united efforts of three strong men to get him into a wagon without injury to them selves. Since then he has been tied by half-inch rope and fed on blood suckers. Wednesday night the rope gave away to the mighty strain put upon it by the turtle, who can carry a 160-pound man on his back without experiencing any Inconvenience, and he is now roaming ot large although searching parties have made effort to locate him. He was to have been sold to the Forepaugh's circus in July and as exhibited as the largest turtle ever taken in Maine's inland waters, and it Is understood that $50 was offered for him by the circus people. Thus his loss is q great misfortune Kennebec Journal.

WILL FIGHT PACKERS
sTOCKMEN' ADOPT INDEPENDENT
PACKING HOUSE PLAN.
Delegates to National Livestock Con-
vention at Portland Favor Estab-
lishment of Five Million
Dollar Plant.

The proposition to incorporate q
company of livestock men for the pur-
pose of establishing Independent pack
Ing houses in the stock centers Of
the country to compete with the pack
ers combine and restore prices on
livestock was the all-absorbing topic
of discussion in the National Live
stock convention at Portland on We'd
nesday By unanimous vote the con-
vention endorsed a resolution favor
ing the incorporation of such COM
pany and the establishment Of the in
dependent houses. Steps will now be
taken to raise stock subscriptions to
the amount of $4,000, 900 for the pur-
pose of capitalizing the corporation
and placing it upon financial footing
to proceed with the work of establish
ing plants for the purposes outlined in
the discussion.
The idea of the stockmen is to have
a corporation composed entirely Of
holders in the company and the direc-
tors of its business affairs. The plants
OF this company are to compete with
the combination plants, giving the
producer a better price for his stock
and maintaining reasonable prices to
the consumer. In turn these independ-
ent packing houses are to be support
ed by the livestock raisers against
the combination. Now that the asso-
citation has endorsed the plan, which
is entirely separate from the organ
ization, the matter of interesting live
stock men in the project and of Sc
curing subscriptions to raise the
necessary capital will be placed in the
hands of committees to be appointed
for that purpose in the stock raising

BY AMELIA e. BARR
A Story Of CromweIl's Time

We have sold all our cargoes," he
said triumphantly. lin spite of old
Cromwell's circumstances. What can
Cromwell do? Will he go to war with
France for a merchants bill of lad
ing?"
Il will tell you something, Rupert.
I had letter to-day from my friend,
Mistress Jane Swaffham. She says
her lover, Lord Cluny Neville, must
be in Paris about this time, and that
he will call on me. He is on Crom-
wells business; there is no doubt of
it."
what is the appearance of Neville?
I think | saw him this morning"
Then Matilda described the young
lord, and the particularly of her
knowledge regarding his eyes and hair
and voice and manner did not please
Prince Rupert.
"a very naughty youth" said Ru-
pert when the conversation was re-
sumed HE was with the Cardinal
this morning. And now | begin to
remember his business was such as

on King Charles throne wants pay
ment for. My men took it in fair
fight, and it's against all usage to give
back spoils."
They talked of these things until
Ruperts engagements called him
away, then they rose, and leaning to-
wards each other, walked slowly down
the long splendid room together.
She went then to find her uncle and
aunt But she quickly noticed in
them an air of anxiety and gloom, and
it annoyed her.

aunt? Have l been making some
trouble AGAIN."

CHAPTER Ix.-(continued.,


This is all very fine indeed" said
Mrs. Swaffham, almost weeping in
her anger, but you need not praise
this man to me. He has slain the
King of England, and turned out the
English Parliament, and pray what
next? He will make himself King
and Elizabeth Cromwell Queen. Shall
we indeed bow down to them? Not
l, for one"
BE at peace, Martha" said Gen.
Swaffham, here are things to consid-
er OF far greater import than the
Cromwell women. How the nation
will take this affair remains to be
SEEN"
Il look for measureless wrath and
vain babble, and threats heard far
and wide" said Doctor Verify. THE
people have been given what they
wanted, and twenty to one they will
now nay-say all they have roared for
That would be like the rest of their
ways"
For once Doctor Verify was wrong.
This master-stroke of CromwelTs
went straight to the heart of London.
Not dog barked against it," said
Cromwell to his friends, and he was
to all intents and purposes right.
Those who called it "usurpation" con-
fessed that it was an usurpation of
capability, in place of one of incapa-
bility.

CHINA PREPARING FOR WAR.
London Papers So Regard Ratification
of American-Chinese Treaty.

All the London papers have edi-
torials which attach great Importance
to the ratification of the commercial
treaties between the United States
and China, and between Japan and
China. The concensus of opinion in
these editorials Is that the ratifica-
ton of the treaties implies an act of
sovereignty by China equivalent to a
declaration that Russia's occupation of
Manchuria is only temporary and for
special purposes.
The pro-Japanese Morning Post
says: THAT is precisely the point for
which Japan he's been contending and
which Russia declined to discuss with
her. Japan is now in the advantage
GUS position Of championing a cause
which is also that of the United
States"
The Daily News thinks that China
''has displayed ominous courage in her
recent diplomacy, which will make
for peace. owing to the tremendous
hazards which war under the present
circumstances would involve"

sweet body at attention. When to or
binary ears there would have been
nothing to give notice, Matilda heard
a step. She let James letter drop to
her feet and stood facing the door
with hands dropped and tightly
clasped.
A moment later the footsteps were
very distinct; they were ascending the
stairway quickly, peremptorily. A per-
fectly ravishing light spread itself
over Matilda's face. Then the door
flew open and Prince Rupert entered;
..entered," however, being too small
word, for with the opening of the
door he was on his knees at Matilda's
feet, his arms were round her waist,
she had bent her face to his, they
were both near to weeping and knew
it not, for love must weep when it
snatches from some hard Fate's con-
troll the hours that years have sighed
for
Rupert loved Matilda. All the glory
and the sorrow of his youth were in
that love, and as he knelt at her feet
in his princely, soldierly splendor there
was nothing lacking in the picture of
romantic devotion. Adorable. ravish-
ing Natal" he cried, 'at your feet
am paid for my life's misery" And
Matilda leaned towards him till their
handsome faces touched, and Rupert
could look love into her eyes, soft
and languishing with an equal affec-
ton.
For little while their conversation
was purely personal, but their own
interests were so blent with public
affairs that it was not possible to
separate them for any length OF time.
