railroad tracks in seven or eight
places to let the water pass into the
country and this checked the rise tenn
pOrarily.
Water from the Deerfield Lake break
is coming up slowly to the south and
the two floods have met. East Of

llShed at convenient points working to
keep up telegraph wires so that COM

PEOPLE DRIVEN FROM THEIR
HOMES.
ST. PAUL, April 2-The Mississippi
here has reached a stage of sixteen feet
and is still rising slowly. This is the
highest point reached since the great
flood of 1896. The residents of the
flats have had ample warning to save
themselves and their property.
Between Minneapolis and St. Paul
l 900 families have been made homeless
by the flood They have lived on the
flats along the riverside and in the low
lands west of st. Paul. Families that
lived to the left of the Inter Urban
bridge at Minneapolis have been driv-
en- out and a vast body of water rushes
over the spot where their homes used
to be- 1t has swept away many
houses. On the west side of the river
the water is encroaching on the Robert
street bridge. Only two streets in the
flats are free from water, and those
only for three squares. The water is
coming up and is gradually submerging
all the lowlands. Already 200 homes
over there are under water, and more
disappear with each succeeding hour.
Looking from the pier of Old Broad
way bridge toward the south the west
side looks like an immense lake with
a house top sticking above the surface
here and there to relieve the monotony.
Many of the residences farther down
are covered, and the lake is floating
full of all sorts of household goods,
fences, barn roofs, trees and lumber of
all descriptions.
On the upper flats on the east side Of
the river the inhabitants awoke this
morning to find their yards and in some
cases their houses flooded. They imme-
diately began to move.

As q Tribune representative was strolllng
about 0 the other day, looking up items
of news, he dropped into Fezer's drug store.
This, tina: and other medicines were talked
of and their curative qualities analysed.
SO far US lay in their power. The cura-
tive powers Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills were
talked of, when Mr.. Falkner. q clerk in the
store, mentioned that Mrs. Joseph Moore was
a firm believer in their efficacy. Pursuing
his quest, the Tribune man paid Mrs Moore
q visit the next day.
Among the many good people residing in
Greeley, Colorado. Squire Moore and his
amiable wife are the best known and the
most respected. The Squire is carrying his
seventy-six years as sturdily as many men
who have not yet rounded their slxtleth mile

husband a few weeks his wite's senior and
for over fifty years they have travelled the
pathway of life together. In lSiS they emil
grated to this country and settled IN Derby,
Conn.,, where they resided for a number OF
years. While there Mr.. Moore, who was
highly respected by his neigh5ors, was elect
ed a member OF the State Legislature in 1867.
During his residence in the United States
he has been a constant reader Of the New
York Tribune, and Yves an ardent admirer
of its founder and great editor, Horace
Greeley, and q firm believer in that notable
writer's opinions. Through those mediums
he was influenced to come to Greeley in the
early spring Of 1871, and here he has resided
ever since. During his residence in this
beautiful section of northern Colorado, he
has held many responsible public positions,
notably that of Justice of the Peace, an office
which he occupied uninterruptedly for eight
years; and four years ago was reelected to
another term, his name being placed in
nomination at the convention without his
knowledge.
The newsgatherer was received cordially
and in response to his inquiries, Mrs. Moore

THE ARTISTS PRIVILEGE.
No Phase Of Life Which the Realist May
Not Touch.

No Phase of Life Which the Realist May
Not Touch.
In a defense of his literary methods
Arthur Morrison. the English novelist,
writes in The New Review:
Il have been asked, in print, IL l
think that there is no phase Of life
which the artist may not touch. Most
certainly I think this; more, I know it.
It is the artists privilege to seek his
material where he thinks we'll. and it
is no mans privilege to say him nay.
If the community has left horrible
places and horrible lives before his
eyes, then the fault is that Of the com
munity, and to picture these places and
these lives becomes not merely his priv
ilege. but his duty. 1t was my fate to
encounter a place in Shoreditch where
children were born and reared in cir
cumstances that gave those children no
reasonable chance of living decent lives,
where they were born foredamned to a
criminal or semicriminal career. It
was my experience to learn the ways Of
this place, t know its inhabitants, to
talk with them, eat, drink and work
with them.
For the existence of this place and
for the evils it engendered the COM
munity was responsible, and every
member of the community was and is
responsible in his degree. If I had been
a rich man, I might have attempted tc
discharge my peculiar responsibility in
one way; if l had been a statesman, ]
might have tried another. Being neither
Of these things, but q simple writer OF
fiction, I ~endeavored to do my duty by
writing a tale wherein l hoped to bring
the condition Of this place within the
comprehension Of others. There are
those who say I should have turned
away my eyes and passed by Oh thu
other side, on the very respectable
precedent of the priest and the Levitt
in the parable"
