Last Yenr's wheat---,rhe strike.

Every elevator in the country is bulg- ing with wheat, and the railroads are running short of fuel with which to move the wheat Various estimates show that at the present time there is anywhere from 25,0oO,O0O to S5,OOOOOO bushels of last years wheat still in the country, and if the strike continues very little of it will be moved out this summer. The records show this to be the latest season in many years. and the result will be a largely decreased wheat acreage, which will be sown with oats and barley.

LETTER FROM FLORIDA.
Gives News of Charles H. Bunce, a
 Former New Havener.

~NNts AA&SSANAe H An interesting letter has just been
 received from Charles H. Bunce, for mer New Haven man, who went from this city to Florida some fifteen years ago. Mir Bunce is now located in
 Belleair, Fla, where he has an exten- sive market garden business. He
 writes that the season is very back
 ward in Florida and that the crops in This section will only yield from one quarter to one-half per cent what they generally do. There had only been one days rain in five months, he said, which gave about one and one-quarter inches of water.
 Florida, in his section as well as elsewhere, he said, was booming in building and was rapidly being taken up by many immigrants from all parts of the country He also stated that a trolley was being built and would run within a quarter of a mile of his resi- Idence.
 MT. Bunce is brother of ex-Captain Bunce, of this city, who founded the Light Guards. He is nephew of Mrs. Eunice Bunce, widow of William U. Bunce, at one time well known carriage manufacturer here, who, had he lived, would have been ninety-two years of age. His widow, who still re- sides at the family residence, corner of St. John and Franklin streets, is now in her ninety-sixth year, or there abouts.

wOOLsEY HALL RECTAL.
After Many POstpOnements BurgstaIIsr
 Failed to Come, and His Place Was
 Taken by Other Artists.

Iaken Dy other Artists.
 Mrs. Gertrude stein-Bailey and MT.
 Max Heinrich were the artists at a Esong recital in Woolsey hall last even ing, given under the auspices of the ldepartment of music. This was the
 recital which finally took the place of the much-postponed recital of Evan | Williams. Professor Parker, with a
 bunch of telegrams in his hand, told
 the story of the hoodoo on this recital
 from the platform of Woolsey hall be-
 fore the recital began, as he said, in Justice to the people who had bought
 tickets. Williams was engaged to sing
 April 21, and the day before the affair wired Professor Parker that he would
 not be able to sing, as he was III, but
 would be able to sing week later.
 This later date was agreed upon and
 the sale went merrlly on. Two days before the time set for the concert an other message came from Williams saying that his voice was not right and he could not appear at all. A hurry trip to New York resulted in the engagement of Alois Burgstaller, the great German tenor from the Metro politan, who had just finished his work with Conreid and was going home. He first said he could only sing in the aft ernoon then changed it to the evening and finally when everything was ready a message was received here at 10 o'clock Sunday night saying that he couldn't sing. A fourth postponement .of the recital was impossible, so Mrs Bailey and Mir. Heinrich were engaged and actually appeared on the stage and gave the performance, as advertised, which earned for them the heartiest good will.
 Mrs. Stein-Bailey sang magnificently two English and two German songs the latter by Brahms-and gave love- ly lullaby as an encore. Everyone for got about Williams and Burgstaller, their tonsilitis or indigestion, or what ever it was, and thoroughly enjoyed the artist before them.
 MT. Heinrich had the major portion of the programme. He sang group of songs to his own piano accompani- ment, and gave two ''melodramas'- "The Spanish Duel" the words and music of which were by MT. Heinrich and Poes The Raven,' also set to his own music The verses in each case were recited, sometimes with and sometimes without piano accom- paniment The effevt was generally good. Mr Heinrich is still the. artist of interpretation, but his singing voice has disappeared into the land of yes- terdays.
 Mrs. Charles White was the accom- panist for Mrs. Stein-B Bailey and MT. Heinrich, and proved to be a master of her work. One rarely hears bet ter accompaniment than Mrs. White furnished. She subordinated the in strument always to the singer, but in the interludes showed she knew how to draw big tones from the plano.
 The attendance was small

BEFORE TIE COURTS;
 DI LUCIA TRIAL States Attorney Makes a Strong Appeal for Con-
 viction.
BLYDENBURGH's PLEA.
Judge Wheeler Will Give His Charge to the Jury
 this Morning.

IT. the closing scenes of the DiLucia murder trial before Judge Wheeler yes terday States Attorney Williams made strong appear to the jury for con viction. He reviewed the evidence for the defense at great length and dwelt mere particularly on the statements made by the younger DiLucia to the effect that he never knew what pistol or revolver was, and that he had never handled either, The states attorney went on to show that Custode had by his own testimony served for eight months in the Italian army and conse- qrently held that he was familiar with the use of both a rifle and pistol. MT, William concluded his arguments by calling for verdict of murder in the f1lst degree for the younger DiLucia and that of second degree for> the father.
 Judge Blyderburghs appeal for an acQuittal was a powerful one while his oratory was brilliant and convincing.
 Attorney Philip Pond, who assists the state in the case, made the opening ar gument and he was followed by Attor- ney Brooks for the defense. Judge Bly, denburgh. senior counsel for the de- ferse, made the closing address for that side
 The defense in this case is that Lu- cisno. a. brother of Angelo, fired the shot that killed Petrone. Luciano is still at large. As the defense largely hinged on this contention of Luciano's guilt, the lawyers in their arguments gave much attention to his part in the case, the defense pointing out the points in the evidence indicating Lucia- nos guilt and the state pointing out evidence to the contrary.
 Judge wheeler reserved his charge Nntil this morning at 10 o'clock.

VICE. Of Prayer.
Are the Local Churches
to Observe It,
Or Not?

AS is well known the first week in
January is generally observed as d
week Of prayer by all evangelical
churches. It is conceded that it is
about the worst week Of the year in
this section. There are many rea-
sons why some other time should be
chosen: First, the bad weather the
first week in January; End, business
concerns are mostly busy taking
stock;",E Bird, the festivities of the
Christmas season are still fresh in
the minds of the young ones, and
4th, nearly every man, no matter
what his calling, isso eugrossed with
his arrangements for the new year
that he cannot, at least many Of them
do not, have time" to consider
spiritual things.
We have not learned whether the
different congregations of the city
are contemplating observing the first
week in January or not, but pre-
sumo that the matter will be taken
up at the ministers association next
Monday.

COAL SUPPLY
Still Short and Prospects
Look Gloomy.

There is every indication that the
mid-winter supply of coal will be
quite short. Even yesterday the
prospects looked gloomy. One of
the largest dealers said that he
hadn't had bushel of coal to sell
for five days, and there is no imme-
diate prospect of his getting any for
several days. So remote may be the
time when he may be so fortunate
as to begin receiving that he is not
taking any orders from his regular
customers. There were only two
other dealers in the city that had any
coal yesterday and their supplies
were short. Unless conditions
change in a few days we will, most
probably, be up against coal
famine. A shortage at this time
certainly gives little hope for the
bitter cold weather we may expect
after the new year comes. A'short-
age of cars is given as the chief
cause of scarcity, as we'll as the
high prices, dealers now charging
IA cents per bushel.

eventually 1880 had been imported.
Under careful handling the new.
conner proved himself entirely at home
in the Alaska climate, and in the IL
years, between 1893 and 1905, there
had been born some 1900 fawns.
The question of distribution was an
other difficult problem How was the
government to get the reindeer to all
parts of the vast territory. to put them
in the hands of the right kind of men,
who would care for them properly and
look to the future interest of the whole
community?
Again the government turned to tho
missions. 1t was decided 10 give each
mission station 100 reindeer, the same
to be held in trust, remaining the
property OF the government, but being
used for the best interest of all the
natives in the Vicinity of the station
The mission bore aH the expenses
and took the responsibility of picking
out proper apprentices to care for the
animals. The only reward an appren.
tice received was, at the end of each
year of faithful service, two reindeer
for his personal property. This was
intended to stimulate him to an effort
to start a herd of his own.
At the end of each five years the
mission station was to return to tho
government the original 100 reindeer
or in case some OF these had died
enough out of the newly-born &c
bring the total up to the original in
vestment After this the mission was
allowed to keep the rest of the nat
ural increase.
This plan proved wellnigh ideal
for II sent the reindeer into all parts
of the country, started hitherto shift
less, idle natives into new habits OF
Industry aud enterprises. and at the
very worst gave food to many who
otherwise would have starved or be-
come government charges

4 REINDEER FARMER.
SUCH is WHAT UNCLE SAM MAY
BE DESIGNATED.
An Industry Carried on in Alaska IN
der prsction and Support Of
The National Government.

The experiment inaugurated under
DR. Sheldon S. Jackson several years
ago of reindeer farming in Alaska has
proved a success, and there is no
doubt that the industry under govern-
ment auspices will continue, for It has
proved of inestimable value in proyid-
ing a means of sustenance for the poor
Eskmos Of this northernmost posses
sion
The whole experiment was started
with an idea of saving the inhabitants
OF Alaska from starvation. Before the
coming of Russians, Americans. Ger
mans and English, the native Alaskan
never found any difficulty in getting
sustenance. The walrus, whale and
seal afforded an endless supply Of
clothing, food and fuel
But the rabid hunting of the white
man gradually decimated these
sources of supply and Uncle SAM as
new custodian of the lives and happi.
ness of his Alaskan charges. had to
decide between making panpers Of
them, as with the Indian, by combining
them to a reservation, and there sup
plying food, or to provide means by
which the natives could work out their
own salvation-and three meals day.
The agent of the United States Blu.
reau of education, Dr. Sheldon Jack.
son, arose with the plan that has
proved the key to the situation. He
proposed that the United States i'm
port domestic reindeer from Siberia,
and then by teaching the young Els
lzimo how to use them, to put in the
hands of the natives a medium OF
transportation, food and clothing
Uncle Sam was a little slow to get
into action, so Dr. Jackson. having the
enthusiasm of his plan, appealed to
the generous minded, and raised $4,000
from private sources. With this
money, in 1892, he made trip over
the wastes of Siberia, picked out 172
reindeer, and brought them to Alaska
on revenue cutter, landing at Port
Clarence.
In 1894 congress was stirred to the
point of supplying $4,000, and from
JuhJ llll6 III NdIlOuS hulOulI0 IhO AOlo
sum invested in reindeer has been ad
vanced to $250,000.
Since it was DR.. Jackson who begaI
the experiment, it was deemed proper
to let him continue in charge, Th'
| government had early recognized tina
it did not personally have agent
enough in Alaska to see that the RICH
kind of young men were picked ou
to guard the herds, so the cooperation
