In New York City.

Traffic on all the roads in New York city
both surface and elevated, was suspended
yesterday Many trucks and other convey
ances had to be abandoned in the streets,
owing to the snow, which has drifted in high
banks in all directions. 1t was impossible
to ascertain how much damage was done in
the city, as the wires are down on every
street. New York was completely Isolated
from Philadelphia and the South, and trains
on all roads ceased running at an early hour
yesterday morning. Communication by tel
egraph with the West had entirely ceased,
and Western Unian officials were unable to
state when il might be resumed.

Editor ARGUS:
Rock ISLAND. Nov. 29.-As saw the
happy looking children trooping down
the steps of the high school at its close
yesterday afternoon, l thought truly:
Thanksgiving" becomes the American
people, to Him who has all power on
earth and IN heaven; that the children of
today enjoyed privileges SO far beyond
those of half or three quarters of CEN
tury ago. Then those who we're able 10
pay had of course the benefits of an edu
cation according to their means. Now
the American>born citizen, however low
his station, may rejoice that his children
have the same advantages as those of his
wealthy neighbor. while those of foreign
birth may be glad that their children,
too, are the equals of any in this respect
May the public school system of this land
be beacon light to prove that the "fesl
of God, the beneflcent teachings OF the
gospel of Christ and the guidance of the
Holy Spirit" are its foundation stones
rearing a superstructure that will be a
bulwsrk always for the perpetuation OF
American liberty. PATRIOT.

A ChiId's Fearru, Mistake

The little fifteen months old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Fl. D. Folsom took guam
tity of ammonia into its mouth yester-
day, and as consequence the poor boys
throat was scorched until 1t was raw and
bleeding and the most intense suffering
followed. Mrs. Folsom was with her
children spending the day with the family
of Mr.. F. Fl. Warren on Third avenue,
opposite the court house. The child had
been in the habit of taking cough mix
ture out of bottle, and in creeping
about he found the ammonia bottle and
put it to his lips. When his mother found
him he was gasping for breath, and in
fearful agony. DR.. Mckee was quickly
sent for and he at once called Dr. Craig
into consultation. The throat was
found to be raw and swollen, while the
child was constantly expectorsting blood
Several times during the night it wa,
thought the child would die, but thi:
morning found him better, though still
suffering. but bearing himself like a little
man. The physicians don't believe tina
any of the fluid reached the stomach AM
hope if nourishment can be taken t,
bring the child through.

IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES.

The circular letter of Cardinal Gibbons
recommending the observance of Thanks
giving day in all the CatholN churches,
was one OF the many pleasing features OF
the national day of prayer. 1t requests
the clergy to recite the prayers for the
authorities after the late mass, and asks
the faithful to assist at the service. Thus,
for the first time in the history OF the
country, the one religious festival which
is peculiar to or people was duly cele'
brated in Roman Catholic churches. This
is a step toward amity Of feeling at which
the Protestant can rejoice as well as the
Catholic.

About 1000 Pittsburgh glass blowers
have secured an advance of 5 per cent by
the new sliding scale of wages agreed to.
"a remarkable advance In prices Of win
dow glass;" says Bradstreet's, has been
going on during the past few months,
caused by heavy demand. At present
there are more orders booked than the
entire stock in the country, both of home
made and imported, will supply. Such a
condition has not been known before at
this season of the year. An advance In the
price of so per cent over that asked last
year is natural result. The advance has
been gradual but steady. All through 1886
the quotations we're 80 per cent of the card
rate During this year the ruling price
has been 70 and 10 off, aD advance OF 40
per cent over the prices of 1886, and now
70 straight is asked. This is just exactly
