Property.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-For while this
morning Chicago was completely cut off
from telegrap phic communication with
other parts of the country. A storm of
sleet and rain, which froze as it FELL be-
gan early last night and continued all
night. BY morning wires were down in
all directions.
East, south and southwest the wreck
of wires was particularly bad. To the
north the wires were open only as far as
Milwaukee.
A number of small accidents, due to
the condition of the streets, have been
reported, but few Of them have been
serious. The worst so far was rail-
road collision. The east-bound mail
train on the Lake Shore was unable to
stop at the crossing near Sixteenth
street and crashed into an Erie freight
train. No one was hurt, but consider
able damage was done to property.
AS telegraphic communication with
various places is resumed it was found
that the storm was very violent
throughout this part of the country.
The Western Union Telegraph Conn
pany reported the wires blockaded in
nearly all directions on account of the,
cases breaking them by the burden of
ice. The Postal Telegraph Company
reported trouble in a less degree from
the same cause AT 1920 o'clock their
wires We're reopened to New York, and
communication with the East in gen.
eral was comparatively free.
Warmer rain and winds raised the
blockade, which was heaviest ait 4 a. m.
Lines between Chicago, st. Louis, Pitts
burg and New York were down, and
southwestern communication was al
most completely cut off until nearly
noon. The same trouble extended west
to Omaha, and was not much improved
hy night, on account of a colder tenn
perature.
In this city pedestrians experienced
much trouble and danger to life and
limb on account of ice-covered side
walks and streets. The Metropolitan
Elevated Street Railway which is oper-
ated by the third-ran system of cleo
tricity, was seriously crippled all day.
Clearing weather is predicted, with
fall to 10 degrees by tomorrow.

Acrimonious Debate Between Silver
Men and Populists.

Acrimonious Debate Between Silver
Men and Populists.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The morn
ing session of the free silver conference
was wholly given over to an acrimoni-
Gus debate between the Populists and
silver men, the Committee on Resolu-
tions being still occupied with framing
its report, and it being deemed imprac-
ticable to transact any business in
their absence.
The discussion was provoked by the
declaration of ex-Congressmar Hatch
of Missouri, who has come out squarely
as a candidate for the Presidential
nomination on the silver ticket, and
who in an impassioned speech blamed
the Populists for the defeat of that
sterling candidate, Joseph Blackburn
of Kentucky
Presidential candidate Field
of the Populist party vigorously COM
batted Hatch's statements this morn
ing and caused considerable excitement
and bad feeling by his pointed refer
ences to influences exerted in the Ken
lucky campaign by President Cleve-
land, Secretary Carlisle and others.
Amid frequent Interruptions and
much enthusiasm, Mr.. Hatch replied
in his own defense, and hotly reiterat-
ed his criticisms of the Populists' ac-
tion in putting a ticket in the field,
which had barely drawn enough votes
from the Democrats to elect a single
geld standard Republican.
Senator Marion Butler of North Car
olina repudiated the alleged facts set
forth by Mr. Hatch. He had been pres
ent in Kentucky before the campaign
and declared that his party had not
decided to enter the contest until after
the Democrats had up a straddling
platform indorsing a bond-issuing adj
ministration, and until Hardin had in
terpreted the platform directly in op-
position to it's proper intent, as recog-
lIizing metallic parity.
The Committee on Organization sub
seouently reported on holding con-
vention at ST. Louis on July 22d. The
apportionment of delegates, based upon
the silver strength, as ascertained
from the American Bimetallic Union,
was determined upon as follows:
Alabama 40, Arkansas 10, Colorado

Dr. Barth then declared that the hi

outside of Germany, adding that per-
haps American gold had assisted the
agitation.
Herr Won Kardoff, the German
champion of bimetallism and leader of

Ject OF shapes briefly, the palmer hats
have mostly straight brims, while more
dressy hatn have their brims turned up
ON either one or both sides. This sea-
son, rs last, some of the felt hats arc
made to represent straw. These are
trimmed with cluster Of feathers ON
each side or jsst on one side, AS tho
case may Ire, with flowers on and I'M
derneath tho brim, while loops of satin
ribbon take the place Of the chiffon
draperies hioh trimmed the summer
hats. Mirror or glaoe velvet takes the
lead among the trimmings of the imme-
date future, especially in the case of
the autumn hats intended for really
smart occasions. The newest style Of
shot silk ribbons has border of black
velvet. Other ribbons are plaid silk, fig
ured silk, satin and MORE. Black vel
vet ribbon is as popular as ever. In
many instances the trimmings on hats
are in greater profusion ON the left side
and nearer to the front than to the
back. Most of the garniture is arranged
to stand high. 1t is quite new idea to
group number Of small ostrich tips
together to form high aigret, and
this kind OF trimming looks particular
ly well when rs many rs ten small
black tips are grouped together on hat
made with high bell crown.
A pretty model, likely to be popular
with quite young women, is of felt, with
rather high crown and straight brim.
This is effectively trimmed with rows
of black velvet around the crown and q
cluster Of ostrich feathers at one side.
The toque affords convenient and
pleasing compromise between bonnet
with strings and large hat. There is
charming toque made of chenille and

This does not alter the fact, however,
that bonnet is the more dignified as
well ~ more becoming headgear for
women who are no longer young.
Some Of the new hats have low
crowns as well as what are termed low
brims, Still the high crown is in favor
and is beir J repeated in felt and in bea-
yer as well as in the Sir Joshua and
Gainsborough shapes, which will be
worn through the winter, covered with
velvet and lavisnly trimmed with ostrich
feathers. Comparatively small hats are
also fashionable. These are fairly low as
to the crown and round az to tho brim.
They are intended to be tilted we'll over
the eyes and have their brims turned up
sharply at the back and held in place
either by flowers of brilliant coloring,
knots of velvet In vivid shades or clus-
tiers Of autumn leaves. The position hat
is in evidence with its low crowned

That ever danced meath winter : skies

And so are you,''
And boys cheeks flushed At the maj me

Deep in the past, but dimly hid
Behind n soft eyes dropping lid,
ouivers the arrow that cupid keen
Shot at the Castle of Might have been;
And palmer still grows the couplet true
"The rose Is red.
The violets's blue
And laughter low, which is half divine,
Ripples across her valentine.
With a cherished thought for the loyeit told

And my heart beats fast as il beat one day
In a past that is followed and far away;
| can see the eyes that were deep and blue;
Love Is sweet
And so are you:'

And sealed with a kiss her valentine.
