Bean the KM You Haw Always Bought FREELAND, PA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 1899. Reduction of Capital Stock. The directors of the Nescopec Coal Company have recommended another re duction of the capital stock of that cor poration, and the stockholders will vote upon the proposition at the annual meeting of the company in Philadelphia on January 27. This corporation has reduced its capital stock at each annual meeting for the past few years. There are 20.000 shares issued, and on January 20. 1895, the par value of each was re duced from S3O to S2O; on January 29, 1897, from S2O to $9, and on January 28. 1898, from $9 to $7. The directors now recommend that a further reduction of $2 per share be agreed to, which would give the company a capitalization of SIOO,OOO, or $5 a share. This will likely be done when the meeting is held. The company's coal lands are located at Upper Lihigh and are rapidly decreasing in value, as the greater part of the original supply has been mined. A large saving in state taxes will he made by the reduction of the capital stock. Will Go to the Fhlllppluea. From the Tamaqua Courier. John V.

Well-Known llrawcr l>eaicy a Common Bac For a Small Partjr. Cuba is a paradise for the sportsman, wild game and fish of all kinds being abundant. Parties of gentlemen on horseback, with their pack of hounds, hunt the fleet-footed deer. It is a common thing for a small party to kill eight or ten deer in a day. The wild boar is plentiful, and some times, if cornered, dangerous, especial ly the old master of the herd, called "un solitario," which will tear a dog to pieces or make a green hunter climb a tree, but a Cuban easily kills him with a machete. The island boar some times weighs 200 or 300 pounds, and has huge tusks, often five or six inches in length. The meat of the female is much relished by the natives. Wild dogs and cats, wild cattle, horses and jackasses abound. But the jutia, pecu liar only to Cuba, which looks like a cross between a squirrel with a rat's tail and a rabbit, and which lives in the trees and feeds on nuts and leaves, is the great delight of the Cuban. Fowls are in great numbers. Wild guinea hens and turkeys are found in flocks of from twenty-five to 100. The whistle of the quail and the flutter of the pheasant and perdiz are heard on all sides in the rural and mountain regions. Ducks in abundance come over from Florida in the winter and return with the spring. Wild pigeons, with their white tops and bodies of blue, larger somewhat than the domes tic bird, offer, in hunting, the greatest sport to gentlemen who will be re strained within reason. In the early mornings the pigeons generally go to feed on the mangle berries when ripe, and which grow by the sea or near some swampy place. A party of three persons have been known to kill 1,500 of the pigeons within a few hours. Robiches, tojosas and guyuaros are found in the thick woods. Mocking and blue birds, orioles, tur pials, negritos, parrots and a thousand kinds of songsters and birds of bril liant plumage flit from tree to tree. There are 641 distinct species of fish in the Cuban waters. Among those that delight the sportsman are the red snapper, lista, manta, gallego, cubera, surela and garfish. The sierra, which weighs from forty to sixty pounds, is extremely game, as is the ronco, so called because it snores when brought out of the water. For heavy sport, fishing for sharks, which are good for nothing, or the gusa, which weighs from 400 to 600 pounds and is excel lent eating, offers abundant exercise. Delicious shrimps, crabs and lob sters, clams and oysters abound. The lobsters have no claws and weigh from two to eight pounds. They are caught at night in shallow places along the sandy beach, a torch, harpoon and net being the necessary outfit. Some of the rivers abound in alligators, but few hunt them. An Electric Freak. An odd electric freak is reported from Kingston-on-Thames. The light ning was very vivid, and a singular ef fect of it was the ringing of the fire bell at the fire station, which commu nicates with a fire alarm near the free public library. The firemen were has tily summoned and the horses and the steamer arrived, but it was discovered in time that the alarm was caused by tlie lightning, so that a full turn-out of the brigade was obviated. The llnnrliiH Crane. I.lncoln Park, Chicago, has a dancing crane, called Mme. Juliet. Her keeper haß only to thrill a little roundelay, to bow and scrape, and perhaps toss a stick or two in the air, for the gay creature to spread her wings from the top of her long neck to the tip of her ungainly toes —for all the world after the manner of Loie Fuller with her Chicago's uancino crank. petticoats—and begin a system of pirouetting, of nodding, winking, and blinking, of tiptoeing, curveting, whirl ing, of rhythmically spreading and closing her wings, manipulating them as easily and deftly as though they were yards of china silk instead of quill and bone. 81.50 a year Is all the Tiubl'KK eosts. $l5O PER YEAR YOB Know Us Well Enough to feel that whatover you want in our linn cannot ho bought to any bettor advantage than of us.
