Surrounded by silent heights all clad in
snow. encircled by waters full of drifting ice,
Ncw-York. in a wonderful white garment, was a
stately and beautiful city yesterday With the
north wind for a brush, winter began the work
of bcautifying tho town Thursday night
II was gigantic work and accomplished with
aiguntic tools. People went 10 bed with a
winter gale rioting through the deserted streets
end driving before it the whirling columns of
the snowlkc phantoms. Against each obstruc-
ton 10 It's progress the wind ragged madly and
seizing the snow like giant, tossed IL In masses
over the obstacle. Nothing was too great or
too mean for II. Tie long, respectable rows Of
hrownstone fronts, crowded tcnements, spires
reacl ing high up into tie darkness, the long iron
cen;ipede that bears tie elevated trains, lamp
posts. telegraph poles, business signs. were all
changed STRANGELY And when daylight came
Yesterday morning tho streets were as deep In
snow as country roado, white hills marked the
spots wrrc stoops had been. and people had to
turn out ard dig their way ont Of their houses
The ralc blew with urd ',ninishcd strength. ard
