BAD STORM.
For Walking, One Of the Worst Of Season-j
Persistent Snow.

The walking, yesterday, was about
the worst of the season. II wasn't so
very slippery. but it was soft, and
slushy. on the style of custard. And he
who ventured forth without high rub
bers, was doomed to bitter experience.
The umbrellas usually taken were of
little use against the persistent snow,
which was driven by the north wind,
around corners and into every nook
where 1t could find spot to settle. 1t
did everything. in the course Of the
day. Early in the game. as 1t were,
those who have seasonable names for
everything. would have It that 1t was
a "robin's-storm." That sounded well;
but II any robins there were, they kept
out of sight. Some were reported to be
out with overshoes on.
The sparrows are understood to take
great delight in a storm at this season
on the robins special account. as they
are all hardened up. while they know
the robins are not, and, although they
do not wish to see them perish. they
like to have a chance to talk smart
to them.
The Electric cars were on time. and
did WELL for the tracks We're badly
clogged in spots.
With hail. and snow. and rain. In
succession at periods through the day
it made things about as mushy and
disagreeable above and below as one
can endure. When the stuff starts In
to melt, there will be circus in the
cellar for most of us.

Save Your Temper.

Probably no small article among the
indispensables of modern life causes
more annoyance than poor pen, when
writing. Some say they have never
yet found pen to suit them. Our
ideal of pen. is one that seems to
glide over the paper without effort, and
by it's own qualities makes the writing
heater and more legible.
Experts in writing say that the
Spencerian Co.'S pens are the best.
Whether this Is SO. it is not for us to
say, but we are informed that those
who send return postage to the New
York Office, $50 Broome ST., will re-
ceive samples of several OF their differ
ent numbers. among which may yet be
found that greatly to be desired thing,
a pen that does not spoil ones writing
and ones temper.

BELLAlRE STRIKE.
Situation Practically Unchanged.
N. NJ. Garland, President of the
Amalgamated Association Of Steel
Workers Arrived in The City Last
Night--.Hopes Of Settlement Soon.

The interest in the strike at the Bel
laire steel plant grows each day, for
it not alone Involves the interests of the
company and the employees, but it is
the means by which depression in
all branches of business throughout the
community is being made, especially in
Belaire. The cessation of work at the
plant in the first place deprives the
stockholders in the company Of the rev.
enue derived from their production of
the metal, while the employees are by
no means faring as well as they did
when they were receiving their salaries,
although as yet the men have not been
caused to feel any serious effects from
the state of affairs.
That all business branches are more
or less feeling a depression is certain
in the fact that the power of the money
circulation has been diminished.
On account of these conditions it is the
general hope that conference may be
effected soon between the management
and the employees and the matter adj
justed with entire satisfaction to both
sides.
Mr.. Joseph Bishop, member of the
State Board Of Arbitration, and who
is now in Bellaire for the purpose of
an adjustment in the matter, is work
ing hard to that end. Although his
efforts thus far have been of no avail,
the hope is expressed that settlement
may be reached in the near future.
The trip to Pittsburg by one of the
local members of the union few days
ago to consult with the Amalgamated
Association of Steel and Iron Workers
of America, resulted, last night, in the
arrival in Bellaire of Mr.. NJ. M. Gar
land. president of the Association.
His presence was not generally
known in the city last night. but never
theless he arrived and will investigate
the differences between the steel plant
management and the employees, in COM
pany with Mr.. Bishop.
The latter gentleman is the father of
the Amalgamated Association and was
the first president of the organization.

Senator Foraker traced the history
of tariff legislation, reading extracts
from the messages of several Presi-
dents.
He read extracts from the Cincinnati
Enquirer and Cleveland Plain Dealer,
to show the actual presence of better
times. He predicted that President
Mckinley's message to Congress in De-
cember will congratulate the nation
upon the business and industrial i'm
provement. He argued that the sole
question in the tariff was a matter of
wages, and for that reason the Repub-
lican party favors high tariff. His
discussion on this point was but a
repetition of the stereotyped Republi-
can argument on the subject
He closed with catch phrases, which
Joseph Benton is an adept in dealing
out, for the purpose OF gaining the ap-
plause of the crowd.
There were calls for Dovener. and
the Captain made short speech which
was favorably received. The audience
was very small when the meeting
closed. Capt. Dovener. Senator For
aker, Congressman Danford, Hon. N.
