SIusE and Mud i'm New York.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2O.-Tuesday was the worst day for outdoor people exerienced in this city during the present winter The snow that fell between midnight and daylight, and that which had remained on the ground from the last storm, was trans formed into slush by the rain which fol lowed the snow. Many crosswalks down town were impossible, and sidewalks were little better. The clogging up of the gutters did not allow the water to escape into the culverts, many of which are also blocked with frozen snow. Four horses were necessary on the Broadway surface cars. At the Street Cleaning Department it was said that the culverts and connec- tions had been cleared, but that the wheels of passing vehicles had choked them up again by forcing the snow from the roadways towards the sidewalk. An order was, however, sent out for the cul- verts to be cleared as soon as possible, so that the melted snow might run off.

N NashvrrIe,. myAtery.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.Y Jan. aO.-Search for the head of body which was found in West Nashville, hacked in eight pieces has been continued. The remains were washed to. day and identified as those of white man. A close examination of the right hand this afternoon showed that within the tightly clinched fingers was tuft of negro hair. It is supposed that it was pulled from the head of the murderer during the death struggle. The arms were filled with tattooing. On the left arm were the letters '.Mart-n," with space between the last two letters, which indicates that the name of the murdered man was Martin. On the right arm was group of emblems includ- ing Masonic square and compasses, the letters ''G. A. R.' and sJ. O. R. M.''
 A house on BeIleville street, near where the body was found, was broken open and pair of trousers, deck of cards, tuft of hair and Derby hat were found in the front room. The house has been vacant for some time.

Maud Miller Not I'm Distress.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2o.-The story about the discovery of the daughter of Joaquin Miller in this city penniless and in deep distress appears to be thoroughly exploded by the statement of MT. Elder, publisher of the literary journal upon whose sup posed authority the story was first given publicity. MT. Elder says: 'eThe stories about Maud Muller are unjust and absurd. The only correct portions of them are that she has been playing in The Danites and that she was in Chicago. She arrived from the south, where the company dis banded some three weeks ago. She was an entire stranger in the city, and, know ing that I was in almost constant corre- spondence with her father, she came to see me. One day I asked her if she would write us an article about the literary
 methods of MT. Miller, She did so and I paid her for it. She was we'll and com fortably dressed at the time, and did not need assistance. She told me that she would go to New York to get another theatrical engagement"

A COOPERATIVE PAMPHLET.

The pamphlet on cooperation, issuel by the Massachusetts Bureau of Labor Sta'is- tics upon the resolve introduced by Rep resentative Henry NJ. Cross of Newbury- lorf, is out. he pamphlet has 1l2 pages and gives many valuable figures on the subjest of cooperation
 In Germany, for instance, we find Ieople's banks, 1910; trade societies, 1031 consumers socieries, 6S6. There are 353 industrial and 674 agricultural societies. The movement in Germany began with Schulze- Delitzch's raw ma'erial supply association founded for the purpose of enabling handi craftsmen in different trades to purchase by wholesale the ma terials required in the pro o.ecutton of their industries so as to allow them tn compete W ith extensive manufacturers. The object of these societies was to uphold hand labor against the encroachments of factory in dustry, by thus obtaining for hsndworkers through association the advantages pos sessed by capitalists, and to deliver them from middlemen, who furniSh inferior ma terial at high prices.
 In Austria there are 1512 societies, in Eng'and 1904, in Denmark 15O. The Massachusetts experiments are also touched upon.

Extracts From HI. Great speech

Extracts From IEIs Great Speech.
 Now, if we add up the public burdens thus placed upon your tarnings, and com pare the same to the burdens placed upon the income ot ihe non-p oducing classes, it will be found that two-thirds of the local and general taxation of the country fall upon the farming and wagc-eai ming class :es of society. Is it any wonder under these e circumstances that he poor remain so very poor, and that the vested-inte' ests people. are ' o anxious that political power should not be allowed to fa'l into the lands of those who have been victimized in that manner? Now, hold that the industrial classes themselves are to blame, or rather will be to blame, if continuance of this state of things obtains for any great length of time. The artisans and laborers, like the fellow-Workers in other branches of industry in the land, are now in possession of political power. If they are indifferent to the exercise of that power, believe me .stle4aTanlthy salasses+ will not be indi fferept It is to their interest that yon should father upon political agitation tue evils inflicted Epon you by monopoly and vested inter ests, and that you should think of nothing but tEe ssnatural order of things" which enables them to rule society and lax in dustry for their pleasure and their profit. They naturally fear that if you exercise your political power with view of having
 
 will follow their example and mould such laws in the interest of industry ather than of privileged idleness. Hence they view with alarm any evidence Of mental or poli,- ical activity on tEe parO of the workers. They dread the idea of your beginning to think out problems of human society from your own standpoint. It is an unwarrant el and unorthodox proceeding on your part to think otherwise Ihan through the minds of the interest of your so-callei intellectual superiors. Political Rip Van Wrinkles, like those who spoke in Trinity College some weeks aga, declare they know not the political age in which they now find them selves. While they have been mentally and politically sleeping within that truly s'Si;eRt Sister, tie Orange Trinity College institution the industrial classes have been educating themselves OH most ques ions affecting their position and we'll fare in the order of civilized society. They have begun to recognize tteir own de pressed and degraded position therein. They know it is they who produce, all wealth and pay most taxes, yet the life they live is scarcely worth living, while the influence they hitherto exercised upon the eg'slation of the countries is i1 inverse ratio to what they have been called upon to pay to keep the wheels of government and society going.

DECENTRALIZATION FRAUDS.
A Bold Attemp pf to Cheat the Govern.
 InenI Discovered at Chicago.


 CHICAGO, Jan. 2O.-The statement is the government by means of undervalua- tion of imported goods has been discov. cred by the customs authorities here. It is asserted that, while in Paris some time since, the head of a large furnishing goods firm, located in this city, negotiated for the purchase. of some goods, principally gloves, and made arrangements with the American exchange so as to do his import ing business through that concern.
 The first consignment of goods arrived last week. It was an invoice of gloves from large factory in France, shipped by the American exchange, and was accompanied by bill purporting to give the true value of the gloves. The officer who examined the property, however, was convinced that the figures given were too low, and it was decided to detain the property and turn it over to the appraiser. The con- signee was notified of the apparent un- derva1uation, and took immediate steps to set himself right before the officers, and at the same time save his goods from seizure. This he did by producing the bill, which had been sent direct to him, and to the surprise of all it was not a duplicate of that in the hands of the collector. This bill, in fact, gave the correct valuation of the goods The article further says 1.-The discrepancy between the two in- voices might have been attributed to 8 mistake had it not been for the fact that the one in the cons ignees' possession was accompanied by letter explaing that the correct bill had been sent to him and 8 fraudulent one to the collector, in order to save him the expense of paying full duties on the consignment. AS the gentleman declared that he was not a par ty to the scheme he was allowed to enter the goods at their real valuation, and the case will be reported to the treasury de- partment.''
 The correct value of the goods is said to be 2,OOO.

 Our PeOple.ss

CHEYENNE, Wy, Jan. 2O.-The ninth Legislative Assembly of Wyoming organ ized and received the Message of F. E. Warren Tuesday. All the members of the Legislature were present except two. The Governors message was very complete and comprehensive, embracing some valu- able suggestions. He directed attention to the annual reports of the Territorial officers and pointed out the fact that the wealth of the Territory has increased nearly threefold in the past six years and the population from 2l,0O0 in 1880 to about 63,0 900. In alluding to the recent anti-Chinese riots, the Governor concludes: |: -''The Chinese do not assimilate with our people, and. therefore, are not to be re- garded as desirable element in our civili- zation. The law passed by Congress, re- stricting Chinese immigration was in response to the sentiment of part of the people of the Pacific States and Territories to have the Chinese excluded from the country. The same sentiments, I believe, are shared by our people, asd, therefore, it is their desire to see the lfsws fully en- forced
