 It is evident that the coal barons have nothing to fear from a strike. The consumer is the one who has no chance to make to the good.-Norwich Bulletin.

 Moscow now knows how Warsaw felt many years ago, and the world waits to hear if proclaimed that ''orr der reigns in Moscow though hop ing it will be order of different kind from that of the Polish capital.--New York Tribune.
 The mortality among the compara- lively few person of great wealth who can afford big and fast automobiles, has been within the past two years unprecedented. If the speed maniacs killed only themselves, the loss would still be too great. That they menace others on the road that belongs to all cannot be endured. Since the chase is only joke and the fine forfeit in the game of death, the law must go further. If the captured racer in variably went to jail and the chauf- feur invariably lost his license, the nuisance would presently cease.-New York World.

The year just closed has been one of extraordinary business activity, says Banker Clews. It opened in the spirit of doubt; it closes in a spirit of almost dangerous optimism. In both volume and profit the trade of the past year has been much the largest ever experienced-farmer, miner, me- chanic, merchant and financier each having had their full share of the pro ceeds. In short; our national prosper ity during the past year has far ex- ceeded all previous records. The most striking fact in the situation has been the farmers remarkable prosper ity. He is pre-eminently the princi- pal factor in the national business ac- tivity of to-day. The country has been favored by a series of successful har- vests, but that of 1905 surpassed all. Secretary Wilson of the department Ol dSIlCulluIe Ssliludlcu luC NSoith produced on American farms this year at $6,415, 100000, which is $256, 100000 greater than 1904, and $49S,000,O0U ill excess of 1903. Corn reached the high est production and value on record. Hay proved a large and profitable crop. The cotton crop, though short, is unusually profitable, and our wheat crop surpasses the record in value. In other respects the year has been profitable one to our agricultural class es, and Secretary Wilson estimates that as result of five years continu- ous good crops, and also to more in- telligent methods of agriculture, the value of farms has increased 33.5 Der cent, an amount approximately equal to $6,133, 100000. In consequence of this wonderful progress the American farmer as a rule is now not only out ! of debt but has a good balance in the bank. He is, therefore, much larger buyer of the necessities and luXuries of life than ever before; and this fact is chiefly responsible for the present
 unusual prosperity of the west and | south.

Mayor-elect William E. Thoms of Waterbury has been pestered so much by applicants for places on the vari' ous boards that he has been forced to 20 into seclusion. On Tuesday he lock cd himself up in the court house, and with the assistance of stenographer prepared part of the message which he will send to the members of the hoard of aldermen next Monday night. The next morning he took a train for New Haven, where he remained until midnight working on his message Hartford Times. Nonsense, MT Edt- tor. nonsense. Mayor-elect Thoms has been available all the time. He was right here in Waterbury when sensa- tional reporters were having him in New Haven and elsewhere He was home Tuesday and Wednesday and in conference with the local democratic leaders. After all details had been completed in regard to his boards. his message and his advisers he left town yesterday at 1O:52 for a much needed rest. Don't believe all you see in print about Mayor-elect Thoms being in hid ing. for he isn't that kind of man.

appeasable appetite for pork on the hoof, and hang about the ranches at all times of the year, except when they are in Information, ready to bounce upon and carry off any pig that is not too heavy and bulky. They will also go so far as to enter a sty when pressed by hunger and select any choice little porker that they may fancy.
 A boar or full grown SOW will not hesitate to fight bear, but the bear will avoid encounters with such and resort to cunning to gain his prey. The depredations of bears upon some of the ranches are a constant loss to the ranchmen. There is but little or no corn raised, and it is too expensive to haul in for feed, so the swine are turned into a meadow to feed on grass and later into the woods to fatten on acorns. It is then that Bruin gets after piggy with success.
 Tn this region the ridges and ravines are so thickly covered with manzanita. chaparral and a variety of other brush that it is almost a physical impossibil- ity for man to go through the same, it being necessary even constantly to keep prdhing shears at work to Keep trails and wagon roads open, brush growing almost spontaneously. This brush makes perfect cover for bear and other like ''varmint." It gives i'm munlty to Bruin from the two legged hunters with a gun. The ranchmen have recourse mostly to the Newhouse steel trap. Bruin. when caught, is ig- unanimously knocked in the head with an axe and his carcass thrown to the very hogs he himself would have de voured. know many ranchmen who number their bear killings by the score. Nor does Bruin stop in his raids on domestic stock at pigs-calves and colts often fall prey to him. And he just dotes on sheep. Flock masters find it necessary every year, in some of the summer mountain ranges, to hire professional bear hunters to clean out the varmint. The grizzly is espe- cially fond of mutton and will in a | fortnight do much havoc to flock. Furthermore, he will for a change of diet help himself to a full grown COW or steer when he can't get pig, calf or colt.
 The lonely prospeetor has dlfi- culty, too, in keeping his pack and riding animals with hlm in the noun l tain solitudes when bears are around. 1 As soon as burros, mules or horses get sight or scent of Bruin they will start for the valleys unless kept tethered close to the prospector's camp, and even that is no safeguard, as the bear will frequently raid the prospector's camp and loot his cache, larder. meat safe or smokehouse. which ever it may be. that he has his provisions stored in. Bear are really so numerous and troublesome in this part of California that they are a nuisance.

The greatest labor contest near at hand is set to begin Monday between the United Typothetae of America and the International Typographical union. The demand for work day of eight hours is made by the local un- ions in every city of the North Ameri- can continent where there is a print ing plant. Each side has declared that its position will be maintained. The Typothetae will listen to no sug- gestion of compromise, Seven hundred members, representing the largest printing plants in America, will con- tinue to contribute to the fund Of s100,O00 which 1t is agreed must be kept up to that figure. If it comes to a strike, which appears inevitable. the effects will be widespread. From present indications Waterbury will not suffer from the new rule as nearly all the employing printers will accede to the request of the union.

BEARS IN CALIFORNIA.

Still Abundant in Some Regions anc
 Destructive to Livestock.
 In my intercourse with western men I have met many who had killed their 'b'ar' in their day, and none but at tested to its bravery and ferocity. The man who has fought his bear is hero. Indeed, in this country-in northwest ern California, writes William Fitz- muggins in Forest and Stream, it is generally deemed foolhardy for per son to attack a bear single handed, or unassisted by dogs, no matter how well armed.
 A bear will stand a great deal of punishment and a large amount of lead before he will succumb, unless struck in the beginning of the attack in a vital spot. Bruin has been known to continue a fight for some considerable time after his heart had been shot to pieces. As rule, he is of wonderful vitality, strength, activity and quick ness. Some species of bears are less aggressive than others, and there are those who will run to hiding at the sight of man, but even these whelt brought to bay are dangerous game to the hunter. Hunting bear with fire arms is at all. times precarious adyen, ture. -t-.s .-.. f.rr
 It is said in California that even the grizzly is changing his character; that he has lost his aggressiveness, and will seek cover on the approach of man, whereas formerly he would voluntari- ly give battle, and at times had been known to charge a company of men when he had not been even provoked to battle.
 Grizzlies are not as plentiful as they once were in the Sierra Nevada noun tains. The few that are met with nowadays are shy of man. Instinct has taught them that man with mod ern rife is an invincible foe. Never theless, hunters are very chary of the grizzly and will seldom attack him un- less with the aid of good dogs or with companion who also has courage and is endowed with coolness.
 Bear are yet very abundant in this region of California, embracing the mountainous portion of Sierra, Plumas, Butte, Tuba and Nevada counties. I hear they are plentiful also in other portions of the Sierra Nevada noun tains, but I speak now of the region in the five counties of which I havE personal knowledge, and which I have traversed in the past eighteen months My trips have led me among the high lava capped ridges and to the volcanic peaks which attain attitudes of 1000 to 5000 feet above the level of the sea, and whose slopes are covered with a dense growth of pine, fir and spruce | The deep ravines between the ridges make suitable haunts for Bruin, and have ample evidence that the latter | exists in great numbers. The bears oi hereabouts are mostly black and brown. They make great havoc with the young stock of the isolated noun 1 tain ranches. and some of the farmers have to wage constant warfare agains bears.

The passing of the papal legation from it's present quarters to it's new home in Washington will mark a step in the history of the Catholic church in this country. When Cardinal Sa- toIli first came here as papal able
 gate" or delegate" he lived at the Catholic university until a residence was purchased for him near St Alloy sius church. This church is controlled by the Jesuits. who made much of Cardinal Satolii, says our Wash ington correspondent. At the be- ginning Protestants were inclined to take umbrage at Pope Leo XIII for sending a delegate to this country. as they thought it was an attempt to open up diplomatic relations. This feeling has now passed away and it is
 generally recognized that the pres ence in Washington of an apostolic thfaHHElEDA ac q AAltulE AANAu AA1AAAE the importance of the church in this country. Archbishop FaIcouio has

MINING FOR A METEOR.

A remarkable mining project is being carried out near Diablo Canon, in this territory. The object is to un- earth and smelt a gigantic meteor which lies buried there. This meteor probably struck the earth many years ago.
 The Indians who inhabit that region have no legend of the wonderful event. The location of the meteor is marked by hole in the earth three-fourths of a mile long and 6O0 feet deep. The surrounding country for radius Of several miles is covered by the frag- ments of this heavenly visitor. They have furnished much interesting ma terial for investigations by mineralO- gists. Some of the fragments weighed many tons and brought rich returns of silver. gold and lead when shipped to the shelter All of the fragments that have been analysed run high iII lead. silver and gold.
 The size of the meteor has been carefully calculated by scientific ex perts, who take as a basis the size of the hole which it made in the earth It is estimated that the gold, silver and lead which the meteor contains will amount to S13.000.0OO. It is be lieved that the shaft will strike thC meteor at about 12.OO0 feet.
 In former days many mining pros pectors gained a good livelihood by col lecting and shipping the fragments oi the meteor to the smelter. These frag tnputs had a market valup of S1 pound in Hoibrook. The Indians brought in large quantities of the min eral in the days before a railroad ha, been built into this region, and tn, mineral was sent to smelters on bur rOs.-HoIbrook Correspondence BOstOI Transnrinf
