DRIFT AFTER DRIFT.
Mans Puny Efforts Against the
Forces of Nnture.

Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 23-The heaviest
snow storm that has prevailed this winter
is now raging in the mountains between
Shady Run and Emigrant Gap. Drift
after drift is piling upon the railroad
track, and the plows are putting and blow
ing with might and main, in order to
clear a way for the eastern mail, which
is slowly and cautiously threading its
way over the mountains.
No sooner is one drift tossed aside by
the powerful rotaries than another forms.
Sometimes the snow, lifted by the force
of the gale, is carried over the embank-
ments and forms immense drifts between
the laboring plOW and the struggling
train. Then the plow must fight its way
through the snow to where it can turn
and then fight its way back again to res
cue the tram from the increasing drift
Hundreds of shoVelers are at work toss
ing aside the precipitous banks of snow
that threaten at any. moment to fall upon
the track. These men, working i'll night
and day shifts, are struggling hard to
overcome the damage wrought by the
storm, but the snow is falling and drift
ing faster by far than they can handle it.
Added to the binding volume Of snow,
so dense that a lantern stuck in a, bank
cannot be seen a dozen feet, is the wind.
Never before has it blown more fierc5ly
and as the bitter wind sweeps down the
cuts in which the men are working, send
ing the sttinging snow into their faces,
they are compelled to pause to get breath
ard turn their backs to the biting blast.
There are 800 of these men, and they
sleep and eat in a railroad outfit train,
which remains as close to them as side
tracks will permit.
Although the storm is general from
Colfax to Truckee, its center is between
Blue canyon and Emigrant Gap. The
mountains. which rise almost perpendicu-
larly on the side OF the track, are COW
cred with fir trees, some of which. sixty
or more feet high, barely show their tops
protruding through the snow, so great is
! the depth.
These mountains, in places, rise precip-
mense body of snow covering them is
in constant danger of sliding. If it only
starts nothing can checkSit maddened
to that which happened on the Shasta
division yesterday is momentarily ex-
pected on the road east of this city.

WENT INTO HELL.
PARhHURsT DESCRIBES HIS LATE
EXPERIENCE.
A Fund of Suggestions offered to
Chicago People Who Care to Fol-
low in His Footsteps@hat Crew of
Banditti.

Chicago, Jan. 23.-Dr Harkhurst, of
New York, lectured tonigfA upon NUM-
c:pal government to an audience that
filled Central Music hall.2 His address
was delivered under thet auspices of
the Marquette club, and was, in brief,
a story of how Tammany was hunted
in New York. He utilized his expert
ence in New York as a fund of sugges-
ton to the members of the club, who
propose to work in this city some such
work as DR.. Parkhurst led in New
York. He warned his hearers above
all things to do no cunning with blank
cartridges. He went out, he said, with
blank cartridges, but the grand jury
got after him for his firstsermon.
He said:

the challenge. I did go into hell and
got my facts; then got out my little
gun on another Sunday and went into
my pulpit with cartridges that were
not blank cartridges and then they
swore at me worse for knowing what

month before for not knowing what

He told at some length how he
worked up his evidence and closed this
part of his address by saying:

Bangor's Relief Method.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
A novel and effective plan for the relief
of the suffering poor of Bangor, Me-, has
been put in operation by the relief commit
tee of that city this winter. Paper bags
.were distributed among the householders,
accompanied by a printed slip. saying:
please put In this bag any contribution
you may wish to make, however small and
return to -" The result was very satis-
factory. Many people in moderate circum-
stances had before refraiEed from giving
because of the Smallness of their contribu-
tions, but this method opened a way for
the mite CT each one to reach the proper
channel for the relief of the poor.
The paper bags were returned, contain
ing groceries, provisions that We're not i'm
mediately perishable, clothing and money.
The small individual gift in the aggregate
became a mighty collection Of food and
clothing for the relief of distress. The plan
is a modest one and could easily be put in
operation. Would not its adoption be prac-
ticable in Washington? NJ.
