EXPECT SEVERE WINTER.
Nebraska Stockmen Preparing for Elk
 traordinary Weather.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 24-stockmen in Nebraska are prepared to expari- ence this year one of the severest winters in a long time. They base their expectations on the fact that gregating near the towns and settle ments. In pioneer days this was all ways the case when a winter of un- usual severity was imminent. In the past few weeks wolves and coyotes in great numbers have been seen p owl Ing around the villages and defying men and dogs to scare them further than an adjoining thicket. This is especially noticeable along the Mis- souri and Platt rivers, where the wolves have swum the stream and taken to the small islands in great packs. In some instances much larg- CT and more dangerous wild animals have been seen. Several partners and mountain lions have been notic- ed slinking along the breaks of the Niobrara in broad daylight This is most extraordinary. All this is ex- perienced by frontielgsmen on the the ory that the wild animals instinctive- ly know the approach of unusually se- were weather and gather near inhabt- ed places in order to be sure of food which remote and isolated districts mi fight not furnish in sufficient quan- titles. Around the country villages small barn yard cattle as we'll as sheep are already suffering, and, altogether the stockmen of the state expect c-m- siderable trouble from this source b. fore the winter is over.

MEN WHO SAW TERRIss DIE.
Cowardice of Bystanders Who Might
 Have Prevented the Murder.

London, Dee. 24:-Ore of the rgi- est sides of the story of the murder of MT. William Terriss, the actor, is the abJect coWardice of several bys,ard- CTS. The commiSsonaire, who event. ua1ly seized the assassin, says there was crowd near when Terriss, see ing the knife, cried for he.p IL seems certain that blow from a fit or trip of the assassin's heel would have saved the actors life, but the stage door loafers sllrank back when they saw the steel, and even when the murderer was being taken to tha Bow Street jail they skulked away, shaking at the sight of blood and leav- ing the bleeding body on the steps of the theater.
 There are some indications that the prisoner may be adjudged insane, al though the housekeeper at the place where he lodged says he was always regarded merely as a moody man. His companions, who called him Mad Archer" say they did so only on ac- count of his morbid conceit. But some of his letters for months back have been tinged with incohere,ce. It seems that long ago: after the end of tour, during which he was merely a super, he used to present himself at the stage door of the Dundee thea ter attlred in a silk hat, white waist coat, and a tricolor sash, and on the strength of being an actor he, always claimed free admittance and often caused disturbances inside
 His last letter to the Actors Fund was couched in terms of maudlin grat- itude. He said he hoped Ann ghty God would help repay it's kindness. The housekeeper says he used to bring a little bread and milk to a cat in the house, and she thought he was unhealthy as the result of hunger
 Herbert Waring will replace MT Terriss in Secret Service at the Adelphi on Dec. 27. He is not like 1y to be the permanent leading man. He has an excellent, intense style, and was a success in 1.-The Red Robe, D but he is naturally a subtle actor, Of the Ibsenite style, and lacks the full bEooded geniality which the Adelphi likes. It will be difficult to secure anybody approaching Terriss. The likeliest man is Robert Lorraine, who

One of the best things the late which ought to sanctify ch,ldren's and all humanity's memory of that great man was the following editorial reply to an anxious inquiry by Ettle S-year-old girl:

 Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been effected by the skepticism of skeptical age. They do not believe excep. they see. They think that n0thing can be which is not comprehensibiel by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be mems or children's, are lit tie. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his Intellect, as compared with the bca1ld- less world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasp Ing the whole truth and knowledge.
 Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainty as love and generosity and devotion exist. and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa. Claus. It would be as dreary as if tnere we're no Virginia. There would De no childlike faith then, no poetry. no romance, to make tolerable this existence. We should have no eni3y- ment except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood 1lls the world would be extinguished
 Not believe in Santa Claus, You mlght as We'll not believe in fai ies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Clans put even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus. but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see faEEnes dancing on the lawn? Of course not; but that's no proof that. they are not there Nobody can con- ceiVyor imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.
 You may tear apart the baby's rat tie and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a. veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? An, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
 No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thou sand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood"

Detroit the other day. "He has the
typical features and build Of an Eski-

looking and clever fellow. He was early
converted to Christianity and was grad
uated when youth at the Sitka Indus

boat hand ON the north Pacific for three
years During this time he saved con
siderable money and decided to come to
the United States and complete pro-
fessional education. He expects to re-
turn to his country some day and use
his knowledge Of law TO help improve
the political and economic conditions Of
his race. I have not seen the young man

Police Sergeant Hiner, at Trenton,
Y. j., stopped procession Of Slavs and
Hungarians on their way to picnic the
other day and compelled the marshal to
advance the American flag from the
rear of the line to the place Of honor in
front. Soon after the procession started
it was noticed that large blue silk flag
was carried just behind the band, while
the stars and stripes were carried by a
tall man at the rear of the line. The
marshal was notified that the American
flag should be put in front, but he paid
no attention to the warning. Word was
then sent to police headquarters, and
Sergeant Hiner stopped the parade and
told the marshal that there would prob
ably be trouble unless the positions OF
the two flags were reversed. There was
conference Of the leaders Of the SO
ciety, and then the marshal ordered Old
Glory to the front and the parade was
continued. The marshal told the SER
gesnt that he didn't know that IL made
any difference which flag was In front.

OF this amount should be deducted on
the ground that part of the increased
importations should be attributed to in
creased prosperity. On the other hand,
about $40, 600, 600 should be added for
July, for which Mr.. Ford has not receiv-
ed complete returns, thus making $40,-
600, 1000 conservative estimate of the
revenue lost.
Mr.. Ford's table shows that the sugar
importers saved $3,05O, 644. 10 on the
duties on the raw sugar imported dur
ing the four months covered by his re-
port. That his figures as to this item
are not larger is due to the fact that
sugar duties were ad valorem under the
old law and the invoice valuations this
year were much smaller than last. The
imports for the four months last year
were 1,53l,l78,771 pounds, valued at
$50, 1853, ,923, while for this year the i'm
ports were Q, 2,440,779, 653 pounds, valued
at $44, 1856, ,049.-New York Herald.
