ranging our rooms in larger proportion
that we may accommodate next year's
students.
We ale glad that Roanoke seems to
show her appreciation of our work, and
why should she net? Last year we had
l96 students; large number came to us
from out of the city. The student pays
us for his course or courses according to
one or two years, from $40 to Sl50 per
year, while he pays to the city from $l35
to 1910
We have we'll disciplined school with
high grade, careful instructors. Our line

educate man in from three to six
mouths, but we cannot do that, nor can
they do it well. We have placed within
our school TIL normal English courses

thing. For evidence of what we are to

Rough Weather in Nebraska.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 3.-Nebraska is experiencing an old-fashioned blizzard, the most serious one of the winter. New Years day was spring-like, and mild, but Friday night the temperature began to fall and the mercury has con- tinued it's descent ever since. Last evening snow storm set in, and it is still general throughout the state. High winds are drifting the snow, and, if they continue throughout the night, may make the situation on the plains alarming.
 Omaha, seems so far, to have escaped the worst of the storm, but all trains entering the city during the day were somewhat late. The street car lines are badly crippled and the lines are kept open with difficulty. At 10 o'clock tonight the thermometer registered three degrees above zero, and the chances are that the temperature will fall several points before daylight On the level tracts in the western and cen- tral portions of the state, where the wind has full sweep, 1t is much colder

Mir. GiIder's Address.

MT. Glider is editor of the Century Magazine and is also at the head of the tenement house commission of New York and is therefore well qualified to speak from a practical point of view on the subject of housing the poor, owing to the experience which he has had as a member of the commission. He said in New York is more serious than that of any other city in the world. In Eu- rope there is nothing like the condition found in New York He defined a ten ement house as a building wherein at least three families live independently of each other, and, according to this definition. he said that 70 per cent of the population of New York is affected by the tenement house laws. The com mission found in its investigations great overcrowding in rooms. and dis covered that families, of which the members alone overcrowded the rooms, often took boarders. In some instances who slept on the fire escapes. Consid- erable overcrowding as to acreage was also found but this does not prevail to the extent that it does in certain Euro pean cities, notably in Glasgow. In New York below the Harlem river there are nearly one thousand persons to the acre.
 MT. Glider spoke of the terrors of tenement house fires in New York and

RAIN, sNoW AND SHEET.
Heavy Damage Reported All Over the
 State of Missouri.

Sthte oi AMisscuIis
 St. Louis Jan. 3.-The heaviest rain storm of recent years has prevailed throughout Missouri, northern Arkan- sas and Indian territory during the past thirty-six hours. In many places in western Missouri the streams are overflowed and in some places railroads have suffered from wash-outs. Last night the rain turned to sleet, and to- day furious snow storm is raging. The temperate has fallen forty degrees in Missouri and eastern Kansas in the last twenty-four hours, and in the lat ter section a genuine blizzard is sweep ing the country.
 At Bagnell, Mo, the Osage river has risen fifteen feet, and Warsaw reports rise of twenty-two feet and a repeti- tion of last winters flood is feared. At Osceola the river is out of it's banks, and the bottom lands are submerged At Fayette the electric light power house is flooded and the city is in dark ness tonight. A number of wash-outs have occurred on the railroads, and traffic is badly delayed. In the vicin- ity of Sedalia every stream is reported out of its banks, and the rainfall con tinued until this morning, when il turned to sleet, and later in the day a heavy snow storm set in. At Lamonte and Knobnoster small cyclone pre- vailed last night, many trees being up rooted, but no large damage to proper ty has been reported so far.
 Webb City reports heavy damage to property by rain or wind. Clinton Warrensburg and Shelbina suffered se- rious damage from the downpour, the rainfall being the greatest since the floods of 1885
 In many places in western Missouri the mercury has fallen almost to zero and this drop in temperature will prob- ably result in checking the flood. In St. Louis a heavy rain has fallen during the past twentyfour hours, but at o'clock the mercury had fallen 35
 degrees, and there was a high north westerly wind.

DENSE FOG IN NEw YORK BAY.
Not d Vessel Passed In or Out of the Nars
 rews Sunday.

Quarantine, S. l., Jan. 3.-During the past twenty-four hours the waters Of the upper and lower bay have been en- veloped in dense fog. At 8 p. m. not a single vessel had passed in or out the Narrows since sunrise this morning. The fog was so heavy that objects could not be seen fifty feet from shore, A few tugs found much difficulty in picking their way down the bay and finally managed to reach the Quaran- tine wharf, where they decided to tie up, not daring to proceed further down the bay
 The steamer Hindoo which collided with the steamer Creole in the lower bay last evening returned in the fog and anchored off Clinton, S. I.
 Captain Dodge landed at Quarantine at noon. He reported that the Hindoo was leaking in the forepeak. Some of her bow plates were cracked, and as the damage was under water, it's exact nature cannot be ascertained until she reaches her dock.
 At o'clock tonight the fog began to lift, and a number of steamers were seen at anchor outside Of Sandy Hook, among them the Aurania from Liver pool
 The steamer Yorktown from Norfolk passed in during the day without being seen.

the horrors of life in the so-called "dou- ble-decker' tenement houses, in sin gle one of which sometimes 150 persons live. He incidentally said that 46 per cent. of the white population of New York city is foreign born, to say noth- ing of those from Jersey. One-third of the buildings in New York are tene- ments, and in these occur one-half of the fires of the city.
 In the course of the commissions in- vestigation it was found that in pop ulation of 1000 only 906 persons had access to bathrooms in the houses where they lived. He then spoke of the tenement laws which had been passed by the New York legislature on the recommendation of the commission, and said that under these laws no ten- ement house can be built in New York which is not model tenement. Among the laws passed he mentioned one &C., cording to which the board of health was empowered to order water on any floor of a tenement, and told of a cor poration which resisted the law. He said that he would not mention the name of the corporation, but stated that the name if given would be recog- nized as that of the richest religious corporation ill the United States. This corporation appealed to the courts to have the law declared unconstitution- al, but instead it's constitutionality was upheld.
 The addresses of MT. Glider and Mrs. Lincoln were exceedingly interesting, and brought forcibly to the minds of those in the audience the great need of better tenements in our large cities.

PRINCIP4L WrrN Ess SUICIDES.
He Was Held to Testify in the Famou,
 Sebaeo Case.

Portland, Me, Jan 2.--At Sebago this morning Walter s. Martin, the princi- pal witness in the Bachelder assault case, committed suicide by hanging. December 26 Mark M Bachelder and Leslie A. Kenison were at Martins S house, when they became engaged in an alteration, during which Kenison struck Bachelder on the head with a sled stake. Bachelder started for home, but owing to his being in an in toxicated condition, he fell exhausted by the roadside.
 The night was very cold, and when Bachelder was found on the following morning he was dying. He expired without telling the cause of his death. A coroner's inquest was begun last Fri day, and yesterday the jury rendered a verdict which stated that the wounds caused by Kenison's blow were not suf- ficient to cause death. Kenison was arrested for assault, and held under $500 bail Martin witnessed Kenison's s assault on Bachelder. The cause for his suicide was undoubtedly worry over the Bachelder matter.
