HAVOC OF THE STORM.
Chicago and Vicinity at the Mercy of
the Elements.

Chicago and Vicinity at the Mercy of
the E1ements.
One of the most disagreeable storms in
the annals of weather bureaus descended
on Chicago late Monday afternoon. 1t
rained, it showed, and between times
sleet pelted down pitilessly. Untold dam
age was caused by the elements. When
night came the downpour of the mixture
of snow and rain and sleet came heavier
and the wind, which was gusty In the
afternoon, rose to gale. The streets,
the pavements and sidewalks were flood
ed to a depth of three inches with slush.
The storm made the pavements almost
impossible; street car traffic was serious
ly interfered with; trolley lines were
broken with the weight of the snow; tele-
phone and telegraph wires We're borne
down, broken and crossed until half the
wires in the city were made useless by mid
night and communication with the outside
world was entirely cut off except at long
intervals. Ends of broken trolley and
other electrically charged wires dropped
into the streets to the positive danger or
passers. Numbers of accidents OF this
sort were reported from various parts of
the city, and the operation of trolley lines
in the outskirts of the city suspended
early in the evening on many streets.
Then, too, the lake was lashed to seeth-
ing caldron, and ii seems a miracle that
many boats were not lost at the harbor
entrance, as n two days storm had driven
them all to that end of the lake, and snow
obscured the harbor lights.

lees far back this year than last and
are, therefore, more becoming to most
women. The hair Is parted softly, and
the bonnet band should have little
depression right In the center where
the central jewel or bow Is placed,
which depression or point should ut
snugly against the part.
Between the severity Hof the walking
hat and the tiny elaborateness of the
toque or bonnet on the one hand, and
the almost reckless magnificence Of the
genuine picture hat on the other hand,
there is medium whose number Of ex-
pressions Is legion. The general type,
however. Is OF felt, and its size may be
called reasonable. not Il cart wheel nor
yet whole side OF a house, ms II We're.
Such hats are more suitable for young
folks than the band bonnet. For the
girl OF from IL to 20 or so, they seem
specially adapted. Brown felts trim
med quite severely with very heavy
finish black satin ribbon. arranged In
a pair of church steeple bows, one
standing up on either side OF the hat,
and with n spreading pair Of loops
across the front of the hat. are strictly
good form. Such hat Is the one drawn
here. its brim being narrow at the
sides. almost nothing at the back, and

rather wide and creased upward in
front. 1t Is worn well forward on the
face, the up-crease showing the sim
ply arranged hair beneath. Especial
distinction Is given to such hat by
choice of color, and very stunning one
OF blue felt Is trimmed with bows OF
stiff ribbon in changeable green. Some
of the SWEETEST women's hatters are
making these hats of ma terial to match
the gown. The hat takes the shape
and stiffness from many close rows of
stitching, which go right through the
satin lining and inter-wadding, and
very fine cording set on the under side
of the brim gives II the necessary elias
ITCHY. Such hat Is just about inde-
structible, and cannot but look well
on any but distinctly formal occasions.
Picture hats themselves are almost
as numerous rs the last mentioned "be-
tween" types; il they were not, they
would lose their picturesqueness. But
it is hardly possible to get picture ef-
fects without the use of feathers. In
deed, one cannot have too many feath-
ers, nor can they be arranged with too
eccentric luxuriance. At the same
time, IL a hat is Of extr.> size and trim
med with view to picturesqueness, 1t
may be called picture hat and yet be
almost practical in outline. All sorts
of effects are secured by the removing
of the top of crowns and by setting
deep pleating Of silk upright about the
hat, binding it by band Of ribbon the
pleating escaping above in deeply-dent-
ed scallops, often high above where
the crown was placed originally. Often
the missing top of the crown is supplied
by false crown of silk that fits down
along the sides of the hat to the brim,

the common roads Of the United States.
Returns have been received from about
100 counties, showing the average
length az haul from farms to markets or
shipping points to be twelve miles, the
average weight of load for two horses
2,O02 pounds. the average cost per ton
per mile % cents and 50 for the entire
haul. Estimating the farm products at
PIC. .824, ,227 tons In weight and making
estimates on other articles carried over the
public roads, 1t Is calculated that the ag-
gregate expense of this transportation In
the United States Is $046, 414, ,665 per an
mum. Reports have been asked from the
United States consuls abroad of the ex-
pense of hauling where the roads are
good, 80 as to render possible calcula-
tion which will show how much of this
vast outlay Is due to bad roads. The es-
innate is ventured, however, upon In
formation in the Office concerning the loss
of time in reaching markets, the en-
forced idleness and the wear and tear to
the live stock and hauling machinery
caused by poor roads, that two-thirds of
the cost might be saved by an improve
ment of the roads.

Armeniaps In Constantinople who claim
to be well informed estimate the property

alone at $5O, 900, 900, while the number Of
people massacred Is said to reach forty
thousand. The powers, instead Of order
ing their fleets away from Turkish waters,
as the Sultan earnestly requested, seem
to be determined upon keeping them In
the vicinity for an indefinite period. A

Salonica feet will, it is said, remain of
that port for the present, ready for any
emergency. France has already at
Smyrna one battle-ship, two cruisers and
two smaller ships. Italy's flag floats from
two battlc-ships, two cruisers and four
small craft there. Russia has two cruis-
ers on the way, In addition to a powerful

her through.
Even though she should have several
hats that are genuine and beautiful
examples Of the picture type, she will
wear with her street and shopping

picture, or one Of some similar design.
This is a modification of the tourist

did we? But no matter how much the
hair Is parted in the middle or pompa-
dour puffed, there are likely to be
pretty maid locks about the temples
and over the forehead, and these are
just what lend the last touch of femi-
ninity to the walking hat, and make it
as different as can be from a stiff, man
nish derby thing.
The girl who will confine herself to
this sort of hat for ordinary tailor

DIR. III. W. Thomas wants the Christian
Endeavorerstw who prayed publicly in thou
sands for the conversion of Col. Robert
G.. Ingersoll to reconcile their action with
this text. He read it to his congregation
in McVicker's Theater, Chicago, Sun
day .morning. He selected it from the
Sermon on the Mount, in his charity for
the young people picking this verse and
not the one before it, which brands
those who use the corners of the streets
and delight in the conspicuous worship
as "hypocrites." The one following
brands those who delight in repetitions as
''heathen." The pastor did not think the
method employees at Cleveland was or
thodox or in accordance with the divine
instructions as TO prayer. The chapter
from which the passage was taken was
a divine homily on supplication. 1t con-
tanned the Lords prayer and was deliv-
cred to the multitudes collected from all
over Syria that the value and efficacy OF
phasized in opposition TO the pharisaical
phasizd in opposition to the pharisaical
ostentation of the idolaters. DIR. Thomas
said he hoped for the change of heart of
the agnostic, but the noisy, advertised
methods recently adopted would certainly
not have found favor twenty centuries
ago among the people from Galilee and
Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and
from beyond the Jordan, who heard
Christ from the hillside.

STATE PAPERS MUrILArED.
Autograph Fiends Found to Have Been

Autograph Fiends Found to Have Been
at Work on Government Files.
The wholesale investigation through
out the executive departments in Wash
ington as to the stamp thefts has resulted
in the discovery that the autograph fiends
have been at work among the files. This
vandalism. so far as is yet known, seems
to have been practiced principally In the
Interior Department. In the investiga-
ton by the secret service men 1t has been
discovered that the signatures of many
great men, long since dead, especially
Presidents of the United States. had been
cut from papers in the land office.
Abraham Lincoln's autograph has been
especially sought after. These papers
are slowed away In the files, and 1t is
hardly once u year that any of them are
needed, SO that the discovery of the mu-
tilation in the ordinary course of Office
routine was improbable. The papers, in
many instances, have been rendered prac-
tically valuless by this mutilation, which
Is very serious matter.

hat below. This pleating, as in the
fourth hat presented, is often made
only across the front and where 1t stops
at the sides lunches of feathers that
droop on to the hat brim make hand
some finish. The back of the brim Of
this hat is turned up In a generous
scallop, and almost always there is
some modification Of the simple round
of the brim at back or sides, while in
front 1t either stands out straight or
droops OF its own weight. There Is a
piquancy about the big hat tipped a
little forward that keeps 1t I'm style,
though il can no longer be accepted as
a novelty. Indeed. this tip and droop

wrecked, outhouses blown down, trees
prostrated and fences and signs torn
away. At Cleveland, the greatest gale
that ever struck the city, according to the
records of the weather bureau, COM
menced blowing from the south shortly
after midnight Monday. At o'clock in

buildings unroofed, trees were uprooted
and signs blown away in all parts of the
city. The water in the river and harbor
is at the lowest point recorded in several
