An African NIUht,

There is nothing as black as an
African night. anL | think that it is
because the earth. being deep red,
offers no reflection to the faint star
light such as we wet In other lands.
Instead it swallows up what slight
glow there may be. and gives to the
darkness dense, velvety quality not
to be found anywhere else. Overhead
the stars glare more brilliantly than
In northern latitudes, but they seem
to cast no light, and the night is pal
pable, suffocating, appalling, and filed
with a nameless horror which Is quite
indescribable.- african High

The periwig. which played so impor,

Poultry Ailments.

Only in rare instances does
poultry require doctoring," says
Kate V. Saint-Maur in Woman
Home Companion for May, yet
it is we'll to be prepared with
sufficient knowledge to recognize
the symptoms of approaching
trouble. A few small coops
should be kept in some dry,
sheltered outhouse, to be used as
quarantine quarters. Empty dry
goods boxes turned on their sides,
with half, make good coops for
individual patients. They should
be covered all around, sides and
top and bottom, with roofing
paper, to insure freedom from
draft. The boxes may be any
size, but like them about eigh-
teen inches wide and high, and
about two and half feet long.
To avoid dampness, and for con-
venience in attending to the birds,
it is well to elevate them on legs
or stand them on shelf or beach.
Before using, or whenever they
are vacated, they should be dis
infected and the inside thorough
ly painted with whitewaSh. The
enameled cups without handles
can be attached to the side of the
coop by wire loops"

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
SPECULATION WAITS
The DeveIoprent of New Forces
 Very Small Sales.

1 New York, Feb. 23-The stasnant 1 and inert stock market today was sug- l gestive of the arrival of the specula- 1 ton at stage of waiting for the de- l veIopment of new forces. After pro- longed liquidation entered upon with the opening of the year. followed by a sharp rebound. the market has sunk into apathy. The shorts have covered their requirements and the recovery 1 has carried prices above where the in vestment demand was effective in sus- taining prices. The room. traders la bored to move prices and to turn small fractional profits at the expense of one another today. No other deal ings were distinguishable in the days transactions. The sales fell to a figure lower than for a year past and there were long intervals when the ticker was idle There was desultory discus sion of some of the days news and happenings but it issued in no active operations in the stock market The violence connected with the street car strike disturbs the recent feeling of confidence that pending labor contro- versieS were to be worked out in a
 spirit of compromise and concession
 which would insure against an inter
 ruption of profitable activities. The
 entrance of the Baltimore & Ohios
 negotiations with employees upon a
 critical stage increased the interest
 in the topics. That stock and the
 New York fractions showed some pos
 1tive depression in response. Central
 Leather weakened because the direc-
 tors refrained from declaring Q dfvi-
 dend, as some spectators had assumed
 that they would do. The rise in Read
 ing was without authoritative ex-
 planation, but the rumors current in
 the market varied somewhat from
 those recently prevalent, shifting to intimations of consolidation of control
 by the other railroads interested in that property. Methods of publicity and advertisement designed to stir speculative interest had but feeble re-
 suits, as shown by the meagre total of the days dealings Only languid interest was shown in the Washington birthday address of the attorney gen eral reaffirming the duty of the gov ernment to curb trusts and attempted monopolies, in spite of the sensitive ness so lately felt on that subject by stock market operators.
 The money markets were apprecia- sbly firmer both here and abroad. The renewed continental demand on Lon don for gold has stiffened the dis count rate at that center. The New York money market is influenced to some-extent. by syndicate require dement's are larger than for last year. Very heavy maturities of short term loans put out by corporations during the financial depression fall due in March.
 The emergence of the crops from the rigors of the winter is being stud jed closely and this is an influence on the present halt in the speculation.
 Bonds were irregular Total sales, par value, $3,259,O00. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Especial to The Bulletin,

Willimantic, Feb. 23.-The wrestling match at the Windham Athletic club Wednesday, evening brought out a big crowd and there was much excitement. Joseph Condos, the Terrible Greek, of itoba Indian, were the contestants in The Greek showed good development, but the Indian had it on him in the line points of the game and staying qualities. The first try had the Greek as the aggreSSor most of the time un- til he woke up to the realization that he was against a stiff proposition, when he began to show streaky, yell Jewish signs. Tall Feather got the first fall in 34 minutes 10 seconds on a body scissors and arnlock. The Indian was accorded a great demonstration.
 There was quite a little sparring for holds as the men faced each other for the second attempt and both got clips in the nose and the referee was forced to separate them- The Greek lost his head and was pinned to the mat by Tall Feather on a full body hold in IT minutes. The crowd cheered the In- dian, but did not warm up to the Greek, who belied his looks complete 1y. William Mallon was timer and Frank Mclean was referee.
 The preliminaries comprised a three round Sparring bout between Arthur Bouffard and Milford Dore and a three round exhibition between Frank Me Lean and Harry Denman that were well received.

Japanese invasion.

President August Hermann of Cincinnati received a letter from a baseball manager in Japan. The writer wanted some information rega rdin g the status of Japanese ball players with the clubs in organized baseball in this country From the tone of the leader it is believed that when the Japanese team comes to this country to play this spring some of them may sign up with teams here and not re- turn to the orient aMny of the mi- nor leagues on the coast have made propositions to the Japanese players, and if the national commission de- cides that they are eligible to play with leagues here, it is believed that there will be an invasion of the Japa- nese players in the coast leagues. The University of Wisconsin sent its team to Japan last year and the Japs beat them in n exciting series of games The Japanese are fast f1elders and run ners. excellent pitchers, and good throwers. but they have not yet made very much progress in batting.

coRBETT NOT so SURE
That Jeffries Can Recover Old Speed
 No Cinch With Johnson

T don't say that Jeffries will have q cinch with Johnson" said James J.. Corbett the other day, because no.h- ing is sure in pugilism, and l don't know whether Jim can recover the old speed and stamina. Furthermore, I've made careful study of the negro, ard 1 am convinced that he will be hard to beat in long fight, but if Jeffries is as fit as when he beat me at Frisco am willing to say that he'll stop John son inside of a dozen rounds. It is .u a question of condition with the boil erniaker. He knows how to fight and is the gamest man I've ever seen in d ring. In his prime he was very fast on his feet for his size and weight and could not only outgeneral a first-ciass pugilist, but when it came down to hard fighting he was there with ire sistible punches
 Jeff, however, has been out of the fighting game for nearly five years j;e has taken life easy in that he has de- thought little or nothing of pugi1isrn. He has a wonderful constitution. though, and he told me in London re- cently that he was sure he could come back In fact, he said he did not make up his mind to fight Johnson until he had satisfied himself that he could get into his best condition.
 Tt is argued by many good judges that Gotch, the wrestler, cannot help him. because grappling is calculated to make pugilist slow and deliberate. Billy Brady, for instance, believes that Jeff should be in the care of Delaney, Ryan and Corbett, all of whom know him like book, and Brady is one of Jeffs warmest admirers, even though thes parted company many years ago.
 It is conceded that the task of pre- pairing Jeffries will be stupendous and that the boilermaker is in need of ex- pert advice. Berger may be a good business manager, but he never was a first-elass fighter. If Jeff would agree to engage Kaufman and Tony Ross or Jim Barry to indulge in daily fights with him there is no doubt, ring ex- perts say that he would receive much benefit from that particular line Of work

The decision of the commission re-
