The great storm has been followed by freeze,
the like OF which has not been experienced
since the memorable winter of 1864. The area
OF unusual cold has been generally extending
from the extreme northern line OF telegraph
communication as far south as Texas and the
Gulf States. Extreme suffering is reported
from all directions, especially in Minnesota,
Dakota, Montana and Nebraska, where many
lives have been lost In Kansas thousands are
suffering for want of both fuel and food. and
in some counties aid is needed to save many
from actual starvation. The storm, while. OF
course, less severe In Arkansas, Texas, and
other Southern States, still found the people
there unpfepared for it, and much suffering
suited Crops and live stock have everywhere
suffered more or less. Saturday nights dis
patches indicated that many people had been
frozen to death. particularly in Minnesota, Ne
brasla, and the Northwest Territories Last
nights reports swelled the death-roll until there
are over 100 people known to have perished in
Dakota, Minnesota. Nebraska and Manitoba

LONDON, Dec. 17.--In many of the
Catholic parishes throughout Ireland
yesterday the action and words Of the
Pope In refusing to bless medals and
relics for distribution among Irish Catho-
lies were freely commented upon, and it
is quite evident that the ill-feeling which
the incident has engendered is spreading
and becoming intensified.
The general drift of comment is toward
the contention that the Holy Father has
doubly insulted the Catholics of Ireland,
and that the insult is wholly gratuitous.
In the first place the church has had no
more steadfast adherents than the Irish,
nor have the Catholics of anv other
country been as regular and liberal in
the contributions, in proportion to their
means, as they.
1t should, therefore, be no more than
an act of justice upon the part of the
Pope, leading Catholics hold. that he
should permit the Irish faithful to con-
duct their political affairs in their own
| way, under the guidance of who surely
| know as much about the needs of their
country, gathered from q lifelong resi-
| dence in the Emerald Isle, as His Holt
ness has been able to learn by hearsay
AS far as can be discovered, the atti.
tude of the Pope, as revealed by his latest
burst of indignation, has had no other eff
feet, even among the Irish clergy, than
to create a counter feeling of indignation
and render the Catholics of Ireland even
more determined than-if that were pos
sible-to continue their present system Of
warfare against landlords and uphold
their leaders in any species of agitation
against English rule that their experience
and the eXigencies of the situation may
suggest.
1t is also assumed that the present
mood of His Holiness is inspired by the
report Of Mgr. Persico, which will soor
be published, and it is limited, will bC
decidedly unfavorable to the Irish.

SWINGING REBuKE.


oVfCiW TO Nt fsoetoN Htovts
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.--Although Sen.
ator Ingalls, has publicly declared that
he has never said word derogatory Of
Mr.. Cleveland as private individual
and has only criticized his acts as the
President in public speeches and in mag
azine articles over his signature, it is a
fact that from the very first Mr.. ingalls,
has slandored President Cleveland and
what makes his olIense all the more un-
pardonabe is the circumstance that even
while he and his family were accepting
the hospitality of Mr.. and Mrs, Cleve
land his vindictive tongue was steadily
at work.
Mr.. Ingalls, has been a guest at several
state dinners, while Mrs. ingalls, was in
vited by Mrs. Cleveland TO assist her at
one of her first receptions, and at its
close joined the family circle at the re-
freshment table.
Old habitues Of the White House, who
have attended many receptions and en-
tertainments there, remarked at the time
that under q Republican administration
Mrs. ingalls, had never been so honored,
and they regarded it as the most delicate
compliment Mrs. Cleveland could pay
the wife of the leading Republican Sena-
tor.
When Mrs ingalls, stood to the right
of Mrs. Cleveland receiving the latter's
guests, Senator Ingalls, and his children
were in the privileged enclosure of the
Blue Room, and they appeared to enjoy
the novelty of the situation immensely,
so unaccustomed were they to the in
terror of the White House.
One of the most prominent society
women in Washington tonight related to
| the Globe correspondent this story, which
is highly characteristic of the Kansas
| Senator and exhibits him in his true light.
He was guest at one of the state din
ners and sat between two ladies, that on
his right being the wife of gentleman
who is one of Mr.. Cleveland's most
| trusted advisers, the lady on his left be-
ing the wife Of q Republican Senator.
To the lady on the left he devoted most
| of his attention, and, as the dinner pro.
| gressed, he treated her to some very un.
complimentary illusions to the Presi
| dent, and repeated some of the ISLANDERS
| then Just beginning to make their way
into circulation.
The lady on the right was Mortified a
such an indecent breach of hospitality
but said nothing for some time, but as
course succeeded course and the Presi
dent'pro tempore grew coarser in his al
lusions, this lady concluded that it wa:
necessary to administer a severe anC
singing rebuke.
Turning to the Senator and suddenly
interrupting the conversation, she said
in voice loud enough to be heard BY
everybody around her:
Senator, if ever / give dinner part,
and invite you to it, shall want t.
have you at the post of honor on IN!
right"
The Senator bowed, and said that h
felt flattered.
Apparently not noticing the intende,
compliment, the lady continued: "Be
cause then i should feel certain that yo,
were not slandering me while you wer
the recipient of my hospitality"
She looked the Senator squarely in tn
eyes when she said this. ingalls, vince
like cur does when it has been struc
by whip, but for the lest of the Dime
he remained absolutely dumb.

rne KeepInG ounllty OF Arples.

From the NeiD York GrdEhlc.
There is difference in the keeping qualities
OF apples in different years that nobody has
been fully able to account for. Occasionally
year occurs, to all outward appearances not
exceptionally different from others, when
windfalls will keep as well as carefully picked
apples IN former ones Such difference can
not be laid to the handling Of the fruit but
must be owing TO atmospheric influences
Apples VIII endure without injury much
lower temperature than Will potatoes, and the
cooler they are kept without freezing the bet
ter. Dry, cool cellars are generally preferred
by farmers as a store place for their apples,
but Of late years some growers claim that this
fruit keeps better in moist than IN dry places,
always providing said place is cool.
When kept In cellars, good ventilation is
necessary In all cases. When batreled In an
orchard, and not shipped away at once, the
apples are better 10 be put I'm tiers under the
trees and protected from the rain aud sun by
boards than to be put in buildings. Some per
sons leave the barrels on the ground in the
shade and uncovered claiming that they keep
cooler on the ground than when piled up
Apples raised on rich, alluyial lands viii prove
poor keepers. For the oest keeping the or
chards should be on high or hiAy lands, and
not too rich.

VERY DELICA TIE FURNITURE.
Chairs that Have TO BE Looked After as
Carefully the Finest Complexions. 7'

From The NetO York SIN.
There is little possibility of one of the
latter day fancies of rich Americans
white and gold rooms--ever becoming
very common. Aside from the first
cost of the delicately tinted cabinets
and tables, popularity supposed to be
dear to the heart of the French
nobility in the last century, the
care of them after requirement is
nearly as expensive. They cannot
stand the W ear and tear of sun, weather
and dust whic h other furniture may en-
dure with impunity. The enamel of
their finish is very fine and exceedingly
sensitive to external influences. One
servant is usually detailed to care eX-
clusively for the apartment in which
they are displayed and his charge gets a
considerable more attention than the
average child. The heat must be regu-
lated, dampness kept out, every particle
of dust jealously guarded against, and
painstakingly removed If it arrives.
Dealers appreciate this as fully as their
customers. A lady went into a well
known Fifth avenue bric-a-brac shop to
purchase little Roman candlestick, of
which there were several displ ayed in
the window.
"They are all sold," replied the clerk
in answer to her inquiry concerning
them.
Disappointed, the customer somewhat
Indignantly commented on leaving them
displayed uselcssly to attract would-be
purchasers
Madam" politely explained the
clerk, ''they are in the window with two
white and gold reception chairs, as you
see. Not for the price of the whole
dozen or more candlesticks would it pay
us to raise the inner sash here every
time one was sold The risk from the
change of temperature and chance Of
dust on the enamel of the chairs is fal
too great So we have sold them by
sight only, taken addresses, and deliver
them all on the day before Christmas, by
which time he finished, with a trade
smile, eve hope also to transfer the care
of the chairs to some one else-for con
sideration."

Alto RNEY RIDDLE has discovered that
there is no law Furnishing persons who
allow their cellars and premises to be
covered with foul and stagnant water.
The law of self-defense should govern in
such case, but as it does not, there
should be a law passed at the earliest
possible opportunity obliging people to
keep clean whether it comes natural to
them or not. The public health is the
first consideration.

The DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS are hav-
efforts to compel liquor dealers to OBJ
serve the Sunday law, and a powerful
pressure is daily brought to bear upon
them to suspend orders of discontinu-
ance, but so far without appreciable eff
feet. This pressure comes from respect
able citizens in behalf of respectable ()
saloons, and is in consequence that much
more effective. 1t is known fact. how
ever, that several of the most respectable
places now closed are notoriously the less
observant of the law, apparently banking
on the fact that the prominence and re-
spectability Of their customers will war
rant them in breaking the law to serve
them. The Commissioners, however, do
not see it in that light and insist upon
the places being shut up.
The Commissioners are right. No
more is asked of liquor dealer than of
a dry goods dealer in his observance of
the law, and as the dry goods dealer is
punished when he violates the law, so
should the liquor dealer be. There is
no objection made to the selling of
liquor; the dealer may sell as much as
he pleases, and charge what he plcases,
and it is asking very little indeed ofhim
to respect for one day at least in the
week, such laws as the majority of his
fellow-citizens and very many of his
patrons, have deemed it wise to adopt as
best calculated to preserve the. general
good, Ii he is not willing to do this
then he should be compelled to do it.
