THE GREAT STORM.
A HURRICANE SWEEPS ACROSS A
DOZEN STATES.

six Lives Lost In Connecticut; Damage
by Flood and Fire in New Jersey and
Storm Losses Along the Rivers and
Coasts.
New YORK, Feb. 1.-THE story Of the
great storm Of Thurday is still incom-
plete, and many thrilling stories of dan
ger, if not of shipwreck are expected.
Seldom has such a hurricane swept
the East, and Friday morning tales of
distress came from dozen States. Six
lives were lost by the carrying away of
bridge in Bristol, Conn. Bound
Brook, N. J., was food-swept, and a
dangerous fro destroyed much property.
Buildings were blown down in Brook
lyn and three livos sacrificed. Through
4 long night, dozen men clung to the
rigging of the Lamington, British
ship wrecked on the Long Island coast,
expecting death; but in the morning
they were rescued with the breechers
buoy.
In New Yord the wind swept at the
rate Of 20 miles an hour, and even the
bay was so rough that ship was blown
ashore. Passaic and Paterson, N. j.,
were badly damaged by the flood Of the
Passaic river; and throughout New Jer-
sey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, the
rivers surpassed themselves in high
water records. 1t was memorable
storm over the whole country visited,
and the damage done was very great.
On Tuesday there was another hurTi
cane along the coast, the wind driving
70 miles an hour. A lighter was wreck
ed off Rockaway, but it is thought the
crew of nine men were saved.

SALISBURY MAY ARBITRATE.
An Interesting Report About the Ven
ezuela Matter.

LONDON, Feb. IA report, that was
generally credited, was current in the
Conservative clubs here last night that
the Government would be able in the
House of Commons to foil the attack of
the Opposition ON the Venezuela ques-
ton by announcing that negotiations for
the arbitration of the Anglo Venezuela
dispute had been opened.
Nothing can be said relative to the
precise form the Liberals criticism of
the Government will assume until the
leaders of the Opposition get time to
scan the Queens speech opening the
session of Parliament, which was
read yesterday. The address speaks in
a very friendly tone of the Venezuelan
matter, but does not promise arbitra-
ton.

EMBROIDERIES.


Our line in embroideries is the most

dalnliness and taste is unrivalled in
the country. We bought it from the
best house in N. Y, and it includes
the cambrcs, also the dainty Swiss

widths with insertion to match. We
can only give you hint here as to
what it is. You must come and be
convinced of what we say. See it

We say prettiest for surely there
never were any prettier wash fabric

dimities, batistes, lawns, India linens,
French and soft finish nainsooks for
dress, with checked nainsook for
aprons and children's dresses. Crowd.
ing each other for room. and when
you consider that the prices we ask
are very small, the goods become very
tempting.
WRAPPERS.
We went into the wrapper business
last year for the first time. We never
did things by halves, SO we hunted
around until we found the best house
for wrappers. When we found it We
bought. We bought another lot of
them; can't be equaled in price any

Thirty-three Million for the Morgan Syn
dicate, Seyenty-eight for New York.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. 9.-Secretary Car
Isle yesterday gave out the allotment
of bonds, which, geographically, are
distributed as follows; New York, $751;
100000; New England, 1900, ,0OO East

States, 81, ,250,0 900.
The Morgan syndicate gets S.O0O,-
900 at 10, ,0S77, a bid which has caused
more comment than any of the others.
Some papers have asserted that the
Morgan syndicate had inside informa-
ton, and that its bid should therefore
be rejected; but this statement and the
reasoning based on it had no effect on
the Secretary of the Treasury.
The rate secured for the bonds was
111.3s. They are now worth about 116.

vagabond. The mandarin, for rea-

AN EXPERT ANGLER.
Mrs. Mendenha1 Tells How to Make
Successful Catch.

MIS-. MendenhaI Tells How to Make
Successful Catch.
Special Correspondence to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1-AIthough a
woman, have always taken the keen
est interest in angling and even as a.
child would delight to sit on the bank
or some stream near nv nome and
make believe fish with a stick. a piece
OF string and bent pin for hook.
In 1870 L was an expert with the rod
and fly and could make a cast with
any man who whipped the streams for
trout. l have always been successful
in landing good catch of the speckled
beauties; but, unlike some fishermen
OF whom l have heard, / never take
any Of that peculiar bait with me
when I go angling.
What women need In the beginning
OF their practice Is little special mus
cuBar training, not necessary SO much
for the casting, but for the strength re-
quired in playing the fish, once he Is
hooked, and keeping him on the line.
That takes skill and very often en-
durance.
It Is not unnatural that the throw Of
the average woman creates amuse-
ment- There is not a woman in a hun
dred who knows how to handle her
arms. In casting fly It is not strength
but skill which counts. There are
PCCuih<li hAdCk anu u IWlSL OF the
wrist that send the fly whirling far out
over the pool in which the trout is
lurking.
l never raise my arm more than a
few inches in casting. When the fly
Is just behind and above my shoulder,
I bring the slender rod forward and
downward, giving a kind Of side throw
which sends the fly over the desired
spot.
1t is difficult to describe just how
this Is done. 1t must come more by
practice than by following any specific
instructions. Then there are times
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-10-04

when the overhanging branches of
the trees. which border almost all
streams, make the usual method Of
casting impossible, and then one must
make peculiar side cast, bringing
the rod upward instead of downward
and sending the fly straight out In a
horizontal line instead Of in a Iona
overhead swing.
II deep water fshdng-that is, deep
fresh water-for black bass, for in
stance, the skill and endurance Of the
angler are often put to the severest
test 1t Is necessary to keep the line
taut all the time and at the same time
give the fish the required play. Ones
the line Is allowed to slacken the chan
ces are that the fish will be lost and
clean hook will be the only reward
or the fishermen. Even at the last mo-
ment, when the bass Is alongside the
beat and apparently won, If skill La
not used In handling the net, or the
line is allowed to give In the least.
the fish Is quick to take advantage Of
the opportunity and get away.
When go fishing along trout streams
and In shallow water, I usually wear
q costume more seTviceable than orna-
mental. 1t consists OF blouse OF dark
flannel, short skirt and-well bloom
ers-and thick soled shoes. One who
wishes to be successful angler must
rot mind wetting. There is one thing
which have never caught, and that
is cold, although I never hesitate to
walk into the water, though 1t may
be knee deep, when not to do so would
prevent my landing the fish.
That costume. however adapted II
may be for the woods, Is hardly the
one for sea or lake fishing, and ON these
occasions I wear an ordinary dress Of
some dark, closely woven material
which will not be damaged If the fish
happens TO land on II.
If women would but have a little pa
tence and take the trouble to learn tha
very rudiments Of angling, I think
am safe In saying that they will not
stop until they become experts at what
consider the most fascinating sport
in the world.

When Richman was engaged he had lis
tened to SO many tales Of the managers
harshness that child could not be more
afraid OF the bogy man than the young actor
was of Mr. DAILY. The first rehearsal was
held IN the foyer Of the theater, and Richman
was being drilled in his role The actor
could not do a certain piece of business to
suit the manager, and after repeated re-
proofs Mr.. DAILY arose from his chair and
approached the player to show him by per-
sonal illustration how the matter was to be
done. At that awful moment Richman's
courage, which had been slowly oozing away
during his various failures to arrive at the
managers meaning, completely deserted him.
He gaZed with terror at Mr.. DAILY his knees
shook his face became ashen pale, cold per-
sptratiOn dripped from him, and the man
ager came near the actor believed his last
hour had arrived. But he was resolved to
make one supreme effort for his life, and,
with an inarticulate cry OF terror, he pulled
himself to gether and ran furiesly upstairs
with the hope OF finding window to leap
from. The spectacle Of the fleeing actor,
with Mr.. Dorney and the stage manager after
him at full speed, was too much for Augustin
Days composure. He sat down and roared
with laughter, and, treasured, by his good
humor, Richman was finally persuaded to
come down stairs and resume rehearsal But
what was the result? Richman, who used to
play secondary roles in secondary companies,
is now leading man Of Days. and his excel
lent comedy has won the applause OF London
as well Of our own city.
Tomorrow night at Mcvicker's theater, Chi
cago. the Hollands will produce ISL one
act play by Charles H. Palmer, Of Milwaukee.
The Milwaukee playwright is son of Judge
H. L. Palmer and 1871" is his first work.
The scene of '1S71'' is located in Paris, at
the close Of the Franco-Prussian war. The
principal character, played by the matchless
actor. e. M. Holland is a French officer,
veteran of former years, who Is given false
accounts Of the progress of the war by. his
children. While the Germans are marching
on Paris. the old warrior is told that the
French are just conquering Berlin. An elab-
crate deception has been kept up during the
war, and accounts of French victories which
were never won are given to the old soldier,
who has such faith in the French army that
he cannot believe 1t could be defeated. The
climax is pathetic and cleverly worked up.
The play belongs to the same class A.
Conan Doyles one-act play, "a Story Of
Waterloo" which Sir Henry Irving produced
with so much success.

as you have guessed, the vagabond is
mistaken for the mandarin in playful
disguise. Now they're off, and the
trouble begins.
The mandarin Is punished for the
vagabond's misdeedS, and the vaga-
bond, knowing good thing when he
sees 1t, moves into the palace. The
vagabond's wife turns up and claims
the mandarin, and that officials gener-
Gus allowance Of q dozen marital part
ners proceed to make home happy for
the masquerading vagabond. With this
as a good starting point Mr.. Smith
puts through their PAGES two come
dams who play the doubles to the ac-
compartment Of the complications ia
miliar in German farces, comic opera
and insane asylums.
Regarding the music, Mr. De Koven,
1t is said, mas gone back to his Robin
Hood style, which is a paradoxical
statement, as 1t was not generally
known that Mr.. De Koven had ever de-
parted from that well known musical
form Of his. The score is said to con-
tain number Of airs which Mr. De
Koven thinks will not fail to catch the
public ear.
Mr.. William D. Mann, Of the Herald
Square theater, says that there was
some Chinese music in the score to give
local color, but after several visits to
Chinese theaters the composer con-
cluded that the theater doors would
have to be locked or the Chinese local
color reduced to the minimum If an
American audience was to be retained
in the theater.
J. e. Dodson loves to tell the fol-
lowing story about Olivier, a famous
French actor: The latter, 1t seems,
possessed incredible powers of mimicry.
He could assume the voice, gestures
and facial expression of any person
he CHANGED to meet. One day he called
on his tailor to ask him for a little
more time on an account that had
been running on for three years. At
that moment he saw customer enter
the shop and pay for several articles
