An Immense Mass Of Snow Falls Into tho
Streets Of Quebec from the Cliffs. De
molisiling Several Houses
New YORK, Jan 2i.-A Quebec special
says: An Immense avalanche Of snow
fell Thursday night from the cliffs
of the Plains of Abraham into
Champlain street, half mile from
the scene of the disastrous land
slide of 1889, which caused the
death of tifty-two people. The avail
anche occurred at the very spot where
u similar slide fifteen winters ago
demolished two houses and killed
seven people. The houses were
never rebuilt on the cliff side
of the street, or the fatal disaster
of 1876 would have been repeated, for
snow Thursday night filled the street
to the depth of twenty feet and smashed
in the fronts of four houses on the OPP
posite side of the street, partially
demolishing them. Fortunately the
inmates escaped injury, though some
of the houses have had to be
evacuated and others can only be occu-
pied in the rear portions of the upper
stories. The city corporation has over
fifty men at work digging out the
street The damage will be consider
able.

Mr.. Llttler. of Illinois. Tells How He
Bought Silver for Senate: Cameron.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-David T. Lit
tier, of Illinois, testified before the
silver pool investigation committee that
he had purchased about 100000 worth
of silver for Senator Cameron before
the silver bill had passed the Senate.
He said he made about 500 on his deal
and Cameron probably $1,000 or sl.50o.
He was in no silver pool for affecting
legislation and did not know of any.
He made purchases for Cameron at his
request and thought and still thinks it
was perfectly proper on the part OF
Cameron.
Mr.. Littler said he had no knowledge
of any silver pool. He suggested tha,
Senator Cameron be called as the easiest
way to secure inform ltion regarding
the date of the Cameron transaction.

HIGHER EDUCATION OF WOMEN.

In the Near Future ~ Much Will Bc
Demanded Of the Men - 10 Now Re
quired Of the Women.
The higher education of women. like
the higher education Of men or children,
is and always must be in the future,
says the Philadelphia Press. Education
is always progressing, and although
there is much said Of the attainments of
women Of this century, their education
is substantially the same that all schol-
larly women have received for many
years
No one will deny, of course, that the
opportunities for women to receive an
advanced education have grown enor-
mously during the last few years. In fact,
too much is required of women. They
must retain all womanly charms; all
that art can do in dress, grace and re-
finement are as highly appreciated as
ever. But besides these light and airy
graces she must take . part in numer-
Gus charitable and even in political or
ganizations. She must have business
like habits, and it is absolutely neces-
sary that she should be able to speak
several different languages. Besides
this, she must be a good tennis player
and able to walk as many miles as her
brother. OF course, she must not neg
lect home duties. because no matter how
fully her time may be filed by the few
trifiing accomplishments we have men,
toned. the woman of to-day is expected
to be a good cook and thorough house.
keeper.
1t is not to be wondered at. in corsid-
Grafton of these varied attainments. that
women feel they should vote. If they
can do SO many other things SO well.
surely the trifiing addition of deciding
upon political questions would be but a
straw more to carry. But here will be
a revolution yet. 1t may be dangerous
to make this statement, but the time
will surely come when women will re.
quire that as much shall be expected OF
men as of women. If women must
dress well, be graceful and attractive,
SO must men.
Ii they must have exact business hab-
its, be proficient in languages. and un-
derstand home duties and political cues
tions, why men, too, must be able to do
more than smile appreciatively at their
efforts. 1t is bewildering subject for
the average mind to undertake to de.

A Big Storm.

NEW YORK, Jan. o5.-The storm
which set in at IL o'clock last night and
continued until noon to-day was the
severest of the season thus far. About
six inches of snow fell, and it was of
the wet, clinging kind that fastened it.
self to everything it touched, loading
trees and clinging to the electric wires
until they gave way under the pressure,
and broke in all directions or until the
poles on which they were strung fell,
crushed by the immense weight. Tho
poles fell across streets and against
houses, blocking all traffic on the for
mer, and threatening death and de-
struction to the latter and their in
mates.
No such work or destruction has been
! known since the great blizzard of March
1883, and it is question if that memoir
able storm was more serious in its eff
fects upon the telegraph poles and
wires of the city. Fallen wires pre-
vented the running of cars on many
streets, and wen the elevated railroad
trains were compelled to move eau
tiously and were often brought to q
stop by the wires that had failed across
the tracks. The police and fire depart
ment were especial sufferers. All wire
connections between the various police
stations and the central Office were
broken and recourse was had to mes
sengers.
Many quarters of the city would be
wrapped in darkness this evening but
! fx~,, ~ - L., l.
moon is nearly full and supplies in part
the lack of the electric lights, none of
which were working in any portion Of
the city except in some sections in the
Harlem district. The steamer Polyne-
sian, which arrived to-day from Liver
pool, was delayed nine hours off the
harbor this morning by the same storm.
THE storm of the 25th on the Atlantic
coast left Jersey City, N. j., without
light or communication. There is not
an effective wire to be found either tel
egraph, telephone, fire alarm or electric
light, save submarine cables, to New
York and Brooklyn. The isolation is
complete. The same is true of Hobo
ken.
By collision on the Northern Pacific
railroad at Butte, Montana, on the af-
tcrnoon of the 25th, lion. Henry w.
Lord, Receiver of the land Office at
Devils Lake, N. d., was killed. He was
in sleeper which was standing on the
main line, when freight crashed into
the rear end. The top of his head was
torn off and his brains scatsered along

men should be made to understand that
they have no right to take without
leave what does not belong to them
for their own uses, even though they
seriously and conscientiously determine
to return it to the owner. That Is en-
bezzlement, and the return of the "bor-

ABOUT GLOVES AND eooTs.
Sensible Advice for women who Would
Have Their Hands and Feet Nestly and
Drnr~rly Tlnfh>A

Sensible Advice for Women Who Would
Have Their Hands and Feet Nestly snd
Properly Clothed.
Well gloved and well booted lady
can carry off a shabby dress with an air
that will leav the observer in doubt as
to whether the latter is not merely the
result Of caprice. and not the rcsul. Of
poverty. 1t is said that the wolf at the
door takes first to worrying the buttons
off the groves, nibbling holes in the
tips, to eating the gloss of the boots,
and thrusting his lean nose into them
and causing bulging and cracks, before
he attacks anything else. Good gloves
and well made, lasting boots cost money
always, but no others are worth pur-
chasing at all. A cheap glove and boot,
no matter how seductively the adver-
tisemcnt of them reads, are snare and
a delusion, and the wise woman will
Iave none of them, but will strain a
point and have the very best. This is
true economy, as every day they are
worn will convince the wearer. But
serve fine care. The dainty kid will
harden If exposed to the air, SO when
you pull off your gloves, have ready a
piece of tissue, or better still, a piece
of chamois skin or oiled silk, and
wrap them carefully with fold be-
tween each one. before putting away in
Q box with close lid. When you re-
move your boots don't throw them in
with your muddy overshoes, or the pair
you have cast aside, and which are be-
ginning to mold, for nothing is more
infectious than the rot that attacks kid.
A shoe bag with several compartments
for the several pairs Is very convenient
and keeps the boots nice.
In selecting gloves, it is well to avoid
very delicate or unusually tinted kinds,
except where purchased for evening
wear. as these not only soil very easily,
but will not bear cleansing as will the
darker shades. Tight gloves are an ex-
travagance. as they break quickly and
will not bear mending. As soon as pur-
chased the buttons should be sewed on,
or you'll find them popping off just as
you are starting to church, and late at
that, or when your lord and master has
just declared shat he would not wait
another minute for you, as you don't
deserve to hear the opera In buying
boots, consider three things: Your
comfort, the natural shape Of your foot,
and the number Of pairs you can afford
to have. If your foot is short, broad
one, don't squeeze it into long. narrow
boot because the salesman tells you the
latter is more aristocratic; and wear
neither too small nor too .arge a size,
for both equally produce disease Of
some sort To have several pairs Of
both boots and gloves will be found a
saving, for even articles of dress wear
longer for an occasional rest. Every
car used by railroad is allowed certain
period Of idleness after q journey. as
they last nearly twice as long as when
used continually; and the same plan
may be followed with advantage in
boots and gloves.-St Louis Globe

THE refusal or neglect of Congress to
provide adequately, if not generously,
for the wants of the life-saving-servicc
can not be excused upon the ground
that its work is experimental. Taking
the record of its accomplishments dur

the value of the service far outweighs
its cost The saving in twelve-month
of nearly $500 lives is worth more than
$1,000, 600. if such a precious saving can
be estimated at all. If it is not worth
that, then certainly the value of the
