STORMY ON THE COAST.
Maritime People Fearful of Dis
aSters to SHINING

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-There is no
communication between the city and
Sandy Hook. the gale which has been
raging for the past forty-eight hours
having torn down the telegraph wires.
No news has yet been received at quar-
antiDe concerning the vessels at the
Hook during the past twenty-four
hours, aud maritime circles are greatly
exercised as to what steamships and
other craft are lying outside the bay
waiting for the wind to abate. The gale
is blowing off shore at the rate of thirty
miles an hour, and many of the smaller
vessels are having a hard time to keep
their anchorage.
The Egyptian Monarch is the only
steamer which arrived at quarantine
this morning, but nOrepOrt has yet been
received from her. the quarantine wires
not being in good order. Fears are ELI
tertained that the gale will cause these,
as well as the Sandy Hook wires, 10
break down. The Egyptian Monarch
was last reported from Halifax two days
ago, when she put in for supply of
coal, having run short of fuel during the
voyage.
HIGHLAND LIGHT, Mass, Dec. 3d.
An unusually heavy northwest gale
prevails tonight, blowing twenty-four
miles an hour. Several large schooners
are anchored in the bay in dangerous
positions. The steamer Mayor, with
coal for Boston, trying to get around
Race Point at sunset, but the seas were
breaking completely over her every

SPOFFORD ON LOTTERIES.
Librarian of Congress Reviews
Their H;stery.


WAsHINGToN. Dec. 30.--At the even
ing session of the historical association,
Mr.. SpoffOrd, librarian of congress,
presented graphic historical sketch of
lotteries in American history. Lotteries
were common in America as early as
1719, and during all the last century
they had been faYOrite means of rails
ing money for public Improvements,
colleges, academies, town buildings.
and very largely for churches. Some
amusing incidents were quoted. The
lotteries for Harvard, Yale and Prince
ton college buildings appeared to have
been the most successful, while one for
Plymouth harDOr, in Massachusetts,
with drawings amounting TO SSS0.000,
produced Only $1,000 for the public OBJ
ject aimed at.
As late as 1918 there were 200 lotteries
doing business in Philadelphia alone.
and New England was once full of the
lottery system, but it was put an ehd to
about century ago. Louisiana was re-
ferred to as the only state now permit
ting lotteries. The conclusion of the
paper was that the experience of the
country had gradually but surely
crystalliZed into the general public con-
victiOn that lotteries are to be regarded
in direct proportion to their extension
as among the most dangerous and pro-
litc sources of human misery.

The LGmhOltZ Party.

The Lumholtz party,which leftBis- bee last September, has been heard from. Prof. Libby, one of the par ty, passed through the City of Mex leo a few days since On his way back to his home. The Two Re publics states that the collections thus far made run into the hun dreds, consisting of specimens in botany, large collection of bird skins and of minerals. Among the bird skins are a number of entirely new varieties. In the Sierra Madre mountains of northern Chihuahua and Sonora they found evidence of a dense population in the remote past. The houses were built of stone and mud and had fallen down many years since, and in so doing had broken the pottery and other utensils within. Those built of adobe were in better condition and contained some interesting specimens. They found fragments of pottery and household implements, all sufficiently similar to those of the Pueblo builders of the east, south and north to show that they were connected with them.-Pros- pectOr.

| is said that there are more steers tbis season on the market at the Karsas City Stock Yards that have been fed on oil-meal, than has been customary in previous years ; that feeders complain in some i:l- stances of the effect oil meal has on steers when they commence feeding 1t. This can only be the case where too large quantities are fed to begin with. Let feeders use but moderate quantity to begin with, and gradually increase, and oii-meal will be found a valuable food. If the cost is too great a skiliful feeder will balance his ra- tion to suit his pocketbook. Har- mony in the feeding ration can best accomplish this by making the best possible use of the products of the farm we'll manipulated and some oil-meal added.-Live Stock Indi- catOr.
