The fall of snow has averaged over three

has piled the snow into drifts as high as I5
and 20 feet. Hardy range c'ttle were unable
to face the terrible blasts or rustic to uncov-

is SIMPLY enormous.
Adyices from nearest points continue to
tell of great loss of Ii e among shepherds and
cowboys who remained faithful 10 their

The sad financial plight in which the

stamina and business sagscity on the part
Of Its trustees. Its founder, benevolent

revenue from this fund was large; now
It Is hardly worth dollar. The endow-
ment was largely invested in Baltimore
and Ohio railroad stock, and John W..
Garrett, president of the road, was a
trustee Of Johns Hopkins. When others
Of the trustees suggested that this stock
should be disposed OF aud the fund in
vested in safer securities, Garrett opposed
the suggestion and the trustees yielded.
Their action doomed the institution.
With the failure of the road the Income
