has just left this country after very
delightful visit. Now news comes
that his financial affairs have about
reached a crisis ana his estates in
Spain, long burdened by debt, will

mirers here have started a subscrip-
tion for his relief.

WINTERS OF THE PAST.
The snap of I.oo-io. When the Medi-
t~rrsnesr Was Frozen for Mites

A writer for the st. Louis Republic
has spent considerable time looking
up data concerning the stalwart win
ters of olden times. Here are the re-
suits of this research: In February,
76i, the weather was unusually
severe all over Europe; at CONSTANT
nople the two seas' were entirely
frozen over for period OF twenty
days In 1868 the Thames was solidly
frozen for fourteen weeks Tho win
ter OF l4O7-S was so intensely cold in
Britain that all small birds Perished.
In Germany there was Il similar state
of affairs. In Baden the rocks gath
erod in tho cities and actually ate
great holes ou: OF the backs Of cattle
and hogs IL is also on record that
in 1865 the army In Flanders used
wine that was regularly cut from tho
gudgcons with hRtchcts and dis,rtb-
uted in tho shape Of ice. In 1904 the
cold was so intense that ice formed
seyeuty-oue inches thick on the river
Thames in the heart OF London
In l709-lO was the winter known
by distinction as ''the cold winter.
All the rivers and lakes OF Europe
froze solid to the bottom In Poland
and all Of North Gcrmany the earth
was frozen nine feet deep Tho
AdriaJic. the Baltic and the Black
seas were all frozen over. Even At

ranean was frozen fog miles ont to

hagou were frozen over 80 that people

One year ago, the country was
moving along prosperously with the
Democracy calling The manufacturers

protective tariff as fraud and un-
constitutional. Tnen came Cleve-
lands Inauguration, and the panic,
with the manufacturing establish
ments closing. The wreck was SO
complete that the leaders of the
democracy stand frightened at the
destruction of business. They don't
talk about the tariff being fraud
and unconstitutional, and about rob
Der Baron manufacturers. But if q
manufacturer here and there has

They shout look! look! the times are

Winter Tours Via Pennsylva
MIA Railroad.

The final arrangements are now
made by the Tourist Bureau of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company for
the running of it's personally conduc
ted tours for the coming season.
First and foremost in point OF mag
nitude and dattractiveness come those
to California and Florida, The dates
for the former are January 31st and
February 22nd. The first date has
been selected so that en- route to the
glorious westernmost State of the
Union the Mardi Gras festivities at
New Orleans may be enjoyed by the
tourists. California will command
usual attention this winter by reason
of the Mid winter Exposition to be
held at SanFrancisco. This exhi
bition promises almost to rival the
late Worlds Fair in completeness
Many Eastern people have already
decided to attend.
Florida, always a popular haven
still justly asserts its claim as the
most delightful part of our country
in which to pass the inclement
months of the year. Five tours vii
be run there, January 30th, Febru
airy 13, February 9th, March 18th
and March 9th, have been choser
as the starting dates. $50 from New
York, S4S from Philadelphia, and ar
equally low rate from other point!
will cover all expenses en- route.
Old Point Comfort appeals strong
ly to those not caring to journe,

visited by special tour. Last com,
