'You have the land, 1 suppose, and can
get the seed?n yes" "Then why
don't you go into the speculation" ~
''No use, stranger" sadly replied the
native; ''the old woman is too darned
lazy to do the ploughing and planting. "

handsome young woman of 20, was taken
from an opium den here yesterday and
died soon afterward from the effects of
smoking, as 1t is declared. she smoked
ten pipes of the deadly opiste. Her hus-

out with a medical student and accompan-
led him TO a den kept by Sam Lee and

male companion who succeeded in getting
her to her room, where she died before a
physician could be summoned. Her com
p%anion has disappeared. Her identity
has not yet been made clear, but it is sta
ted she is a native of California, where her
parents are now supposed to live. Her
maiden name was Jennie II. Reynolds.
She appeared in a number of theatrical

Gould southwest system, the remaining
members Of the committee announced the
unanimous determination of the board to
continue the present strike until an ar
rangement can be entered into with
Hoxie, restoring all ofthc strikers to their
former positions, with the exception only
of those who participated in acts Of VIC
lence and destruction of property since the
strike began. The railway officials claim
that the continuance of their regular bus
mess, which they say has now been fully
resumed. depends not in the least upon
the actions of any labor organization, and
that the freight blockade has been per
manently raised. They also claim that
they have employed a sufficient number
of new men to render them entirely inde-
pendent of the knights and hat the strike
will now come to naught. The members
of the general executive board, however,
state they are confident of success of the
strike, for" says Turner, the roads
cannot be operated without knights. The
skilled and unskilled labor in the United
States is controlled bv our organization

STORMS AND FLOODS
Great Damage to Railroads
in Pennsylvania.
Telegraph Wires Frustrated in
all Directions.
Traffic Stopped by Snow in
Detroit.
Storms and Floods.

PIrrsBURG, April 6.-The damage of
railroads and telegraph by the storm are
very great. Wires are Frustrated in all
directions. Nearly every railroad enter
ing the city has suffered from either land
slides or washouts. This morning Turtle
creek o~verlowed its banks, at Brinton, on
the Pennsylvania main line, and swept
away the county bridge and railway trestle
on which were four freight cars. On the
Allegheny Valley road, the Buffalo ex-
press which left here last night, is stuck
in the mud at Mahoning. Rivers and
creeks at all points are rising fast and
river men predict at least thirty-fve feet
here by tomorrow morning. This would
inundate all the lower parts Of the two
cities and cause suspension of work in all
of the mills and factories lining the river.

Gladstone's Cabinet Going {,
Pieces.

LONDON, April l6. -Gladstone is meet
ing with much opposition in his cabinet
against his Irish home rule scheme. A
majority, led by Earl Kimberly, is OPP
posed to that feature which surrenders
control of customs in Ireland. As Glad
stone remains firm, these ministers will
resign. Sir Ponsonby, Queen Victoria 4
private secretary, was Sent BY her majesty
to confer with Lord Harrington, leader of
Wings in the The interview
lasted a long time; afterwards the Mar
quis of Salisbury had a long private con-
ierence with Harrington.
The latest information, however, is
that the cabinet feud has temporarily
abated. Mr.. Gladstone modiies his pro-
posals regarding the customs control by
giving the English parliament a right to
veto all fiscal enactments of Ireland. pro-
viding that an imperial receiver shall col
lect customs and excise, and making i'm
perial claims the first charges on the rev.
enues. The m~alcontents consequently
withhold their designations.
Mr.. Gladstone is thoroughly supported
in all his proposals by Earl Granville
Earl Roseberry, the marquis of Ripon
and Mr.. Campbell Bannerman. Sir
Farrar Herschell does not participate
in the discussion on home rule, but he
upholds the proposed land bill and has
relieved Mr.. Gladstone of drafting the
latter scheme. Mr.. Gladstone is in ro-
bust health and good voice and is cor-
tidsnt of success. On Thursday Mr..
Chamberlain will speak after Mr.. Glad
stone. and Lord Harrington will move to
adjourn.
1t is reported that Lord Salisbury has
persuaded Lord Harrington to move that
the house refuse to consider Mr.. Glad
stones bill.

DETROIT. April 6.-The present storm
is undoubtedly the worst experienced in
this city for many years. Early this
morning several attempts to run street
cars we're made, but the snow drifted so
rapidly hat it became impossible to keep
the track clear, and the cars were showed
up at various points on nearly all the
lines in the city. One or two lines re-
fused to try their strength with the ele-
mems, and their cars are safely stabbed
and traffic almost entirely Frustrated, it
being extremely difficult to navigate the
streets in any manner. At 10 o'clock the
signal service reported fourteen inches on
the level, and at noon binding sheets of
snow were still interfering with pedes-
trianism. The entire southern part of the
state is covered with snow. 1t is an
nounced by the signal service that the
present storm will continue through to-
night.

Ohio river. While the stoppage appeared
to be complete to New York up to II this
morning, telegraph officials expressed the
belief that it would only be temporary.

CHRTsTMAs.

OF all the anniversary holidays none
has a more ancient origin or universal
observance than Christmas, for all
christian nations recognize and observe
this day of days. In fact it might be
said that this is one OF the distinguish
ed characteristics between christian and
heather people.
Different nations have originated va
rious Christmas customs which carry
with them a certain degree Of super
stition and mysticism which only adds
to their fascination. The Christmas
tree, Santa Claus and "a rousing big
dinner are the central objects around
which the average juvenile groups all
ideas Of tins festive occasion. and from
which he draws his supply of inspira-
ton and enthusiasm suitable for the
event. II is sometimes questionable if
some of the older people raise their
minds above the temporal enjOymenJs
and emblems Of the occasion and
realize that the event was inaugurated
and first celebrated by angels, above
the plains of Bethlehem. Nearly -
800 years have passed since that time
and probably will through all ages to
TO come. Dickens, in his Christ Carols
shows a spirit that is not altogether un-
common aud if everyone would read
this pretty Christmas story we believe
they would better enjoy this day.
