To Tahoe in Winter.

Thomas Magee writes to the San
Francisco Bulletin: 81 have here
teforc expressed the belief, created
on reliable information gathered
here, tia. $500 would keep the
road between Truckee and Tahoe
City open all Winter for sleighs. II
the railroad company would pay
5000 of this gum, others up here, l
think, would contribute the bal
ance. Snow and sleigh-riding,
perhaps the most fondly cherished
memories Of youthful days in the
older and colder States, would thus
be brought within the reach OF the
residents Of the snowlsss and al
most frostlsss valleys, and would
prove in health benefit. as / can
personally testify, mere valuable
than any mountain trip possible in
Summer. / assert that three or
four days spent in snow at this
lake, in genuine frost, between the
bracins honesty of the freezing
point and zero, ia worth more than
a month spent here in Summer.
For recreation there Is sleigh-riding,
snowshoe efforts, boat-pulliug and
trims on the steamer, and for the
evening, enjoyment by open wood
fire hesrths and glowing cheerful
ness. Even q short, four days
plunge into such bracing air leaves
its beneficial effects for months.
Some OF the very finest and bright
est weather OF the year is found
here in Winter, and OF course nc
one need come while SNOW storms
wer. prevailing. There is always
hotel open in Winter at Tahoe CITY
McKinney's, Yank's and Glen
brook. If the passenger depart
ment of the Central Pacific couit
ne interested in this Winter project
it would speedily take shape. TIT
newspapers would be glad T. maxi
public all announcements concern

would have real use tor sealskins

CORCORAN DEAD.
The millionaire and Philanthropist Dies in
His SInetIeth Year.


His SInetieth Year.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-Mr. W. w. Cor
cora, , - 80 o'clock this morning
Wi. III ~ lson Corcoran was born in
Georgetown, ID. c., December u, l1gS his
father being a native of Ireland, who re-
moved to GeOrgetown Ia 1857, and was for
many years mayor OF the town. Mr.
Corcoran first engaged in the dry goods
business aud afterwards became COM
mission merchant From 1873 10 1896 he
was IN Charge of the real estate business
of the Bank of Columbia, the branch of the
United States Bank at Washington He
then entered business as banker and
broker, in which he remained until 1854
In 1880 he took the late George W. Riggs
into business with him. When the MeSi.
can war broke out the Government mad
great difficulty ninducipg prominent finan-
ciers to float It's bonds The firm of Cor
coran q Riggs tnereupon offered to under
take the work, and by their skill in ac-
comprising the task not only laid
the Foundation of their subsequent
fortunes, but earned for themselves high
places in the financial world. In 1885 Mr.
Corcoran married the daughter Of Commo-
dore Morris. She died five years later,
leaving only one child, Louise, who in 1859
was married to Hon. George Eustis, then a
member Of Congress from louisiana. Mrs
Eustis, like her mother, survived her mar
riage only few years.
1t IS as public benefactor and philan-
thropst that Mr.. Corcorau is known. HIS
benefactions are of long standing. In 1S47
he purchased the site OF the Oak Hill Gem
etery, Georgetown, expended about Sl2O,-
900 in improving it and presented the Gem
etery to his native. town. The Corcoran
gallery Of art he established i'll 1857, ex-
pending about s3O0OOO in fitting it
up and in addition establishing
an endowment fund of nearly million
dollars for its benefit. The war inter.
rupted his plans with respect TO this
structure, but at its close he entered
upon the work with increased energy and
transferred his entire collection of paint
ings, statuary and works to 1t. Another of
his large public gifts is the Louise Home,
which he founded in memory of his wife. It's
intended as a home for aged women OF re-
fnement and education who by reverses Of
fortune have been reduced from affluence
to poverty. This building cost about $780,
GO and has an endowment fund in addi-
ton Of about $500 600. Mr.. Corcoran has
also made large and valuable gifts to
the Washington Orphan Asylum, Colum-
bla University and many institutions in the
South. He also gave S10O, 900 to the Church
of the Ascension Of this city. To the Uni
verslty Of Virginia he has made gifts
amounting to about 500, 900 besides a
library OF about 900 volumes.

WONDERFUL INTUITION.
The Most Peculiar and Talented Blii
Man In the United States.

The Most Peculiar and Talented Blind
Man In the United States.
There Is a very wonderful blind man in
Bellefontaine, O.--oue whom the Cincin.
natl Enquirer correspondent has been
noticing for some time, and recently had
an In terview with. He is Floyd Steeley,
Of Pennsylvania, and is at present maxi
ing his home with his brother-in.law, W.
K. Smith, q well.known farmer, who
lives about six miles from Bellefontaine,
on the De Graf pike. Mr.. Steelsy has
been totally blind since he was four years
old, and he is probably the most peculiar
blind man in the United States. At the
age Of four years he accidentally put one
eve blind with a pocket-knife, and the
other, becoming inhamed, went blind
also. He is totally blind, and has been so
since that age. The popularity about him
is that he lie perfectly Independent. He
absolutely requires no assistance. He
says that the country in which he was
raised is q very rough and billy one, and
that his father early taught him to try
and look for himself, and the result is
wonderful.
He is now twenty three years old.
When he came to Beliefontaine he made
careful inquiry as to where his brother-in-
law lived, Inc route, ETC., n then start
ed and walked there alone, making the
distance in about one hour. Just one mile
from here there are i've forks to the road,
cne OF which leads to his relatives house.
He made no mistake there, or IN several
other turns he hal to make, and crossed
several culverts and bridges on the way
without accident. He sometimes walks
to town, some imes rides horseback-even
rides tricycle.. He walks nearly twice
as fast as ordinary pedestrians, and can
absolutely go to any place he desires, the
post office, any of the stores or offices, just
as we'll as person who can see. He can
tell instinctively in a crowd when he
turns out or in, and threads his way In
the largest crowds with perfect ease. In.
decd, many who see him do not know his
intirmity. He is a mus clan, and attends
his class in the country with perfect ease.

PUBLIC LAND STRIP.
Senator Plat Reports Bill to Bring It
Within the Jurisdiction of Kansas.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Platt
from the Committee on Territories, yester-
day reported favorably bill to extend the
southern and western boundaries Of Kan
sas SO as to include what is known as the
public land strip within the limits of the
State. The report accompanying the bill
says: within the past few years there
has been large immigration to this SEQ
ton and its lands, which are fertile, have
been largely occupied. Flourishing towns
have also grown up This portion of the pub
lie domain is without laws, except such as
have been enacted by the settlers, and
while the great majority of the settlers are
industrious, thrifty and moral, many GRIM
mails and outlaws have taken up their
abode there and made frequent predatory
incursions into the States of Kansas on the
north, and Texas on the south. The condi-
ton of this part of the public domain calls
for immediate action by Congress, and Of
the various plans which have been pro-
posed for the organ eaton of the country,
none seem to the committee to possess the
merit Of the plan proposed in the bill"

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Feb. 25.-The ice
in the Missouri went out below here Thurs
day night, doing some damage to bridge
property. The ice in the main channel at
the city is still firm, but above the city
it has broken and forced its way

a mile from the present channel, destroy
ing Chicago, Burlington & Quincy pile

feared that this will result in the river
forming new channel and passing on the

being constructed here. A cold wave last
evening, however, gorged the ice and the
