The packet made her way slowly
under the strong head winds, and when
the captain came through to collect
fares he remarked that he expected a
bad time at the st. Paul bridge and it
was uncertain what time the landing at
Fourth street would be made Never

the passengers who live out Mississippi
street way, and to others who wanted
to board the cable and the West Sew

AT the Winifred street landing the
pilot opened the door of his little house
and said he would stop there two min
utes as he was somewhat ahead of time
and he wanted to make close cOnnec-
tions with the liners on the north
landings of the river. The captain

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE citizens
mass meeting, called for the purpose Of
indorsing the ratification of the arbi.
tration treaty between this country and
Great Britain, at Cooper Union tonight
through the speech Of Civil Justice
WauhOpe Lynn, was turned from q
meeting of peace into one of turmoil
For time it appeared as if the police
would have to interfere to restore or
der. Although the excitement was
great, the meeting concluded without
any serious disturbance.
The trouble started when Judge Lynn
captured the meeting by Offering an
amendment denOuncing the resolutions
faVOring arbitration. President Seth
Low refused to put Judge Lynn's
amendment to the meeting, and a vote
being taken on the resolutions, al
though declared carried, they were
really voted down.
Up to the time that Judge Lynn
came forward the audience mildly APP
proved of the sentiments expressed by
Bishop Potter, Mayor Strong, President
Low and eX-Secretary Charles S. Fair-
child. But in a few minu-es after the
civil justice had secured the floor,
threefourths of the audience had de-
clared their opposition to the ratiflca-
ton of the treaty.
The resolutions which were read by
Charles s. Fairchild, ex-secrerary of
the treasury, conclude as follows:
Resolved, That, in accord with our fell
low citizens throughout the land, we respect
IuIly petition our national senate for the rat
1hcation Of the treaty as signed by the rep
resentauves of the high contracting parties
Resolved That we heartily concur in the
declaration of our honored chief magistrate
that the treaty presents to the world the
glorious example Of reason and peace not
passion and war, controlling relations between
two of the greatest nations of the world
an example certain to be followed by others ,
and in his further unqualified declaration
that the Importance and moral influence Of
the ratification of such a treaty can hardly
be overestinated in the cause of advanc-
ing civilization. -
Judge Lynn asked permission to
speak, and launched into a bitter at
tack on England, which the audience
applauded loudly. He said: Tonight

On the fifth anniversary week of the
terrible blizzard of 1892, this particular
neck of the banana belt was smeared
over with a brand new white frosting
which is destined to last several days
longer. 1t was feared last evening that
the orange trees might suffer to some
extent and that the lemons would turn
sour from lack of rain In Hennepin
county 1t was reported that the orchid
farms might suffer somewhat from too
much snow.

ton that although yesterdays blizzard
was not the worst within the memory
Of man, it was the worst which has
been experienced since the celebrated
storm of 1892 Fortunately. there was
no loss of life, and in this respect the
80 blizzard still holds the record by
several points
At seven o'clock yesterday morning
H. commenced to snow in dead earnest
During the early morning hours there
were a few fiurries but the hand did
not commence to play until a little
later. BY o'clock the dirty streets
were covered by clean layer, and the
fun commenced. At noon there We're
several inches of new snow on top Of
the thirty inches which had already
fallen during the winter and which was
| packed down into ice on the streets
AT o'clock last evening when the
government weather service made its
last observation for the day, over five
inches Of new snow had fallen and at
II o'clock the snow was still coming
down in reduced quantities. The five
inches Of snow which had fallen at
D o'clock equaled nearly a half incn
OF water. 1t is believed that by the
hour the G 10 b reaches its readers
this morning, nearly foot of the beu-
uful Will have sifted down. The wind,
fortunately, did not come up until
nearly all the unfOrtunates were
housed for the evening. Until s O'clock
the storm could not be called a biz
zard. At that hour the wind came up.
Then the fun for the street railway
company and all other transportation
companies commenced. as the wind
packed the snow into drifts and played
havoc with traffic Of all descriptions.

Louis II. Orr, Of New York. who has lust
been elected printer laureate by the typo
graphical craft in the United States, is one
OF the most artistic printers on this side of
the Atlantic. The establishment of a laure-
ateship among printers is due to the enter
prise of the Campbell Printing Press and
Manufacturing company. The wearer of the
bays was to be chosen by vote, and Mr. Orr
was the successful one. He won the title
and the valuable press offered by the Camp
bell company. Mr. Orr received 5,7S9 votes,
and Henry O. Shepard, of Chicago was a
close second, with 8 292 votes. B. B. Herbert
candidates were far behind. Mr.. Orr IS a
natural printer. He inherited his love for the
types and drew from his father a love of the
artistic. This feeling is seen in the very
beautiful specimens Of printing art which

Mr.. Orr has turned out from his shop in
New York. He began life with thorough
education in the printing office, and learned
every detail of the trade. He became a
rapid and accurate typesetter, a skilful press
man, and acquired the keenest appreciation
OF the artistic in the getting together of his
work When the days of his apprenticeship
came to an end he set out on his wander
ings, and entered the employ of a big en-
velope concern in Springfield Mass Later he
set up in business for himself in the Massa-
chusetts city, but it was not until he opened
his shop in New York that he took his place
beside those great printers who have done
most to lift the trade into the realm of art.
In his social and private relations Mr.. Orr
is amiability itself. Loving open air exercise,
his devotion to healthfuI sports was shown in
MS unopposed election as a governor of the
New York Athletic club.

LONDON, March 12.-The CORE

from a reliable source that the powers
are nearly agreed to present a fresh
note to Greece, notifying her of their
intention to carry out the coercive
measures if she still continues obdurate

LONDON, March ia dispatch to

CLOTHES MAKE THEM SICK.
Natives of Africa Who Die When
They Take to Wearing Them.

The bulk of the later authority is to
the effect that civilization at present
harms the negro by exposing him to
diseases he never knew before. In his
savage state the black man goes naked,
and becomes strong by a constant con-
tact with the fresh air. The first
thing done for the happy black heather
is to make him wear uncomfortable
clothing, in which he sweats and breeds
poisonous microbes with horrible flu
ency. He never changes his clothing,
and when he gets wet he knows no
better than to dry them by sitting close
to the fire. In this way he contracts
fever and undermines an otherwise ro-
bust constitution. For this reason
many magistrates hold that, from the
adoption of civilized customs by the
natives, and the consequent increase
of disease, there will result a check to
the present rate of increase among the
blacks.
The death rate among the so-called
Christian natives is larger than among
those in the savage state owing to the
reasons above given; but here again We
have to remember that the savage state
referred to is one protected by Eng
lish laws, and the Christians referred
to are such as have not learned how to
preserve their health under changed
conditions of life. With increased pres
sure of population in South Africa, and
increased difficulty in wandering away
to new territories the black will be
forced into pretty much the same So
cial state as they are to-day in the
southern part of North America The
frightful rinderpest which has ravaged
their country during the past year,
combined with the locust plague, has
compelled an industrial movement
among the blacks undreamed of be-
fore.
In former years the tribes afflicted by
want of food would have gone upon
the warpath and sought to plunder
some of their neighbors; to-day they
send out their young men to earn
wages in the fields or in the mines of
the white man, and thus silently this
great revolution is going on, making
from day to day more real the rule of
the white man in Africa

are her protection, whereas girls
lack Of years is her danger The very
aim and purpose of the present tend
ency for woman's greater freedom will
be defeated if we allow it to guide the
actions of our girls. The danger to i'm
maturity always becomes greater as the
danger to maturity grows less. This
We should never overlook. It is a
blessed change that things are safely
possible to women which were abso-
lutely impossible a few years ago. But
progress is dangerous as we'll as health
full. If parents interpret the present
changing conditions by allowing greater
freedom to their daughters they Will
make very sad mistake"

YOUNG GIRLS LIBERTY.
Years Are a Woman's Protection
and Youth is a Time of Danger.

THAT everything in life is tending to
make people freer in thought and action
is undoubtedly true, and it is a healthy
tendency in the main-healthfm for
people of years and self-control," writes
Mr. Box. But no advantage is without
its disadvantages. The freer our lives
become along healthful and safe lines
the healthier will our minds become.
But before we can safely profit by
these advantages We must have lived
long enough to know how to use them
and to understand what phases of them
to disregard. Because women are freer
to travel alone than ever before, 1t
does not necessarily follow that it is
wise and right that young girls should
be permit ted to travel alone. Here
comes the truth of the proverb that
what's one mans poison is another
meat The time was when woman
could not, with self-respect, go to a
place of entertainment unatt ended.
Now she can. But that does not make
it right for a girl to do so. The chap
eron is none the less indispensable to
ago She is really more necessary, for,
a things become more and more posi-
bic for women, they should become
more impossible for girls. This may
sound hard and severe. but young girls
must remember that a. woman's years
