DISSATISFIED POLICEMEN.
They are Ordered TO Substitute Canes
for Their "Night-sticIs."

When the police were ordered TO
abandon their clubs and take up canes
instead there was considerable dissatis-
tsfaciion among the men. Whatever
may have been said then Is nothing to
the Indignation on the part of the of
ficers Wednesday when they received
another order to the effect that here.
after at night they should carry canes
instead of their "night.sticks." The
canes carried by the men now are very
different from those issued at first The
new cane has no loaded head, and Is a
mere ornament. 1t Is five .eighths of an
inch at the largest end and tapers to
about three sixteenths of an inch at the
small end, and has thin steel wire
running through 1t.
With the disappearance of the might
stick" the belt will also vanish. This
Is also matter of regret with the
guardians of tbe public peace, for they
say that the belt equalized the weight
OF their very heavy overcoats and other
clothes when tightcned around their
waists, and relieved their shoulders.
An old patrolman stated to a CRITIc
reporter last night that when police.
man walks around for six or eight
hours with such heavy coats on as it
is necessary for them to wear in the
winter, he feels as IL there were twenty
pounds on each shoulder
Every one spoken to about the canes
said that If they got hold Of an ugly
prisoner, they would be compelled to
throw the canes away aud use both
hands or get beaten. They said that
they could put their clubs In their
belts when both hands were needed,
but there is no place to put the canes.

YEsTERDAY,s STORM.
Widespread Disaster and Alarm Oc-
casioned.


widespread Disaster and Alarm Oc-
oasioned.
The storm yesterday was o widely
spread one and was accompanied by
some queer freaks of the weather.
There was wind, rain, snow and light
ming. 1t was most severe in Pennsyl-
vania. AT Chambersburg in that State
the rain descended in torrents, and the
wind blew gale. Houses rocked,
shutters were torn from the windows,
chimncys and outbuildings blown
down. In the surrounding county
the ends of houses were blown In,
farm and schoolhouses levoled, trees up
rooted and fences carried away. At
Lockhaven much damage was done by
the wind. and one man was badly In
jured by the falling smolsestack at the
Pennsylvania Paper Mills Works. The
farmers near the place suffered great
losses.
The wind at Reading created havoc
and damaged property to the extent of
$4,000. AT Wilkesbarre, during the
high wind fire broke out. and before
II could be subducd consumed mum.
ber of buildings, including that oc,
cupied by the Ddily Rerio,o. The loss
caused by fire was $50 900, TO which Is
to be added great losses due to the
wrecking of buildings by the wind.
At Kingston, one mile from Wilkes
barre, new Catholic church with
twelve inch walls was completely de.
molished. At Parsons a carpenter,
ot ,t,,y1y atrtnly J,ro l,
ing plank and instantly killed, and the
steeple OF the Methodist Episcopal
church was blown down. AT Moorcs.
town, n. j., during a heavy storm the
Chronicle building was struck by
lightning and completely destroyed,
A terrific thunder shower broke over
New York city, and the rain fell in
torrents. The wind attained velocity
of forty miles an hour. The rain
poured in the Stock Exchange build
ing, over which temporary roof had
been constructed while repairs were be-
ing made. At Troy vitriol works
were demolished by cyclone, and six
men badly burned by the liquid. The
loss was 100000. A canal.boat cap.
tain was blown overheard and
drowned. AT Chicago the wind blew
at the rate of thirty.tive miles an hour,
and was accompanied by heavy fall
of snow. AT Des Moines, Iowa, there
was perfect blizzard, the storm being
so binding that 1t was impossible to see
a few feet ahead The storm was also
felt in Virginia and Maryland. At
Port Deposit, in the latter State, the
steamer Beningra was torn from her
moorings, dashed against the wharf
and completely disabled. Throughout
the Northwest railroad travel was de.
layed, and the telegraph wires Grip
pied. In Northern Louisiana there
were sleet and snow.

OUR GREAT ANNIVERSARIES.
Washington the Plnce to Celebrate
Them-The National Drill.

Washington the Place to Celebrate
Them--The National Drill.
A Washington letter to the New
York Star, in speaking OF the pro.
posed celebration in 1889 of the cen
tennial of the adoption of the Consti-
tuition and worlds fair in 1892, at
Washington, in commemoration Of
the 400th anniversary Of the discovery
Of America by Columbus, says:
That both the first centennial Of the Con-
stitution and the four hundredth anniver-
sary of the discovery Of America by Colum-
bus should be celebrated by this country in
some way, and at the Capital City of this
country, will be conceded by most Ameri-
cans, but the idea Of making permanent
exposition out of these two anniversaries
does not necessarily follow. Old Spain,
Italy and the pGnlsh-American countries
of this hemisphere are already considering
how the four hundredth anniversary OF CO.
lumbus' discovery should be celebrated.
More than three years ago the King Of Spain,
in an interview published IN the New York
hdependeat, said: at is an event In which
all the world would be interested, and In
which the leading nations might unite"
And also the following;
There Is one project now In hand by the
citizens of Washington which meets with
and is entitled to the most cordial approval
on all sides. | refer to the projected ma
tional militia encampment and competitive
drill fixed to occur here next May. 1t
seems proper to say right here, by the way,
that better set of fellows than these repre-
sentative Washington men is not to be
found anywhere. They are enterprlsing
merchants, patriotic citizens and thoroughly
good company.

THE HOME IN DANGER.
Some Serious Evils that are Menacing
the Most Valuable InstItu-
tiou I'm the Land.

Few people realize the value Of home
until they are deprived Of it. 1t is spot
upon which centres all the best thoughts,
beet emotions, and best life Of the land. 1t
is the inspiration for the father in the hard
est duties Of life; the hope Of the mother In
her many trials and infrmities and the one
spot In which the child can be trained to
noble manhood or womanhood. But how
often II is overshadowed by dark cloud
Too often It is dwelling place OF misery,
instead OF a home Of happiness.
When the father comes home weary and
careworn at night, exhausted In body, and
nervous from the strain that has been
brought upon him; when he realizes his
sturdy manhood Is departing under the
influence Of some mysterious trouble; when
he feels day by day, that pain is coming
upon him, then the dark shadow rises to
obscure the sunlight from the home. Or
again, when the mother feels a sense Of
weakness, mysterious bearing down, and
growing iniirmity which she cannot avoid;
when she sees her skin growing sallow aud
her youth departing, It Is the com.
ing on OF cloud that may be
inky in its blackness. At such times
as these, the best friend to the home,
is that which will build up, restore and
DfiHg DHch Wtbleu cnergy anu lie. lHiS
must not be accomplished, however, by
using unnatural stimulants or questionable
drugs, but by observing the laws Of nature,
and assisting these laws to truly perform
their missions. To this most desirable end
nothing has ever been found which can In
any way equal Voliua Cordial which Is at
tractiDg so much attention throughout the
land, and is really working revolution In
human strength and happiness.
There are thousands OF men and women
in America to-day who were in far more
pitiable condition than that above de-
scribed that have been rescued, reiuyenated
and restored to their families, so that they
are a help rather than burden to the
home. We could instance numerous cases
which would prove this assertion, among
them very prominent one In Charleston,
s. c., but II is not required, and we look
for grand results in the great increase Of
health, strength and happiness from the
people Of this country, from the use in the
family OF Nollna Cordial
