The Storm.

On Thanksgiving day there was a snow
storm that all supposed was the tail end Of
the western blizzard but that proved tc
be not the fact, as, on Saturday morning,
another snow storm set in that increased
in fury until midnight The storm was
accompanied and followed by much wind
and the snow drifted heavily. The coun-
try roads in many places were almost i'm
passable. The farmers who deliver milk
to the station and the town dealers were
unable to get in until Sunday afternoon
! On Monday morning travel from Mount
Holly to Philadelphia, on the Camden
and Burlington County railroad, was
completely cut off until noon The $50
train down on Sunday evening ran off the
track at Hartford and the passengers
spent the night in the cars. Passengers
were afterward sent to the city by way of
Burlington.
A train on the shore road came in to-
wards noon, but the U. t. trains did not
run all day. The Vincentown branch
was covered with snow-drifts varying in
depth from two to ten feet.
When the snow ceased to fall after mid
night Saturday, the Weather Bureau reg
lister showed nine and two-tenths inches
on the level. This is by far the biggest
snow fall within "A hours in November
during the Is years that the records have
been kept at the local station. The
storms duration was a little over 10 hours,
having started at II O'Clock Saturday
morning. The snow record for the month
is eleven and seven tenths inches.
The wind commenced to increase from
a dozen mile rate at midnight, and con-
tinued to blow fiercely until it reached
velocity of 40 miles an hour at s o'clock,
when it let up, and fell gradually. At
noon the speed was 36 miles an hour, and
at o'clock Sunday night 90 miles, con
tinuing around that mark into Monday
morning
Railroad officials say that more snow
fell on Saturday than during the blizzard
of 1888. In the evening trolley car ran
off the switch near the station, which
did not get in service again until after
midnight. A snow pillow was attached to
one of the cars which made frequent trips
to Burlington to keep the tracks clear.
The Sunday west bound trains became
stalled near Moorestown and the service
came to a standstill. 1t became necessary
for the section men to shovel snow from
the Medford and Vincentown branches,
and while thus engaged they were sup
piled with food and hot coffee. The Mount
Holly street car service was conducted
with a sleigh An electric light pole
fell over on Pine street, and it became
necessary to cut the wires, which gave
darkness to a portion Of the town for
while. Wires fell at other places on
account of their heavy weight. The drift
was so bad in the country that Joseph Du-
bell, the milkman could not get away
from his house, as the snow was up even
with the top of the fence in his lane

Litsrarr Notes.


The Christmas number of Scrj5ner'
Magazine has several notable art features
The brilliant cover in silver gold anC
colors is prize design by Albert Herter
There are also sixteen pages of color print
ing Of an unusual kind-reproducing Max
field Parrish's very original scheme Of
illustration and decoration, accompanying
f. J. Stimson's poetical version of scene
from Wagner's "Rhine- Gold In the ar
ticle on John Ruskin as Painter" Mr..
Spielmann has included reproductions OF
many unpublished paintings and sketches,
secured only by reason of his long person
al friendship with Ruskin. Another ar
tiStic feature is the frontispiece by the
young artist, Walter Appleton Clark,
whose reputation has been made in the
pages of ecrt6Rer'S
The Christmas LADIES' Home Journal
surpasses all expectations in the variety of
its literary contents, in the interest and
excellence of its pictorial features and in
the wide range of articles aimed to solve
the problems incidental to the holidays.
There is notable contribution on ''The
First Christmas Present, telling of the gift
of the Magi to the Christ Child, and an
other recalling 'Washington's Christmas
at Valley Forge" Edward W. Emerson
takes one back to "When Louisa Alcott
was a Girl, and gives some delightful
glimpses of her girlhood, her home and
her daily life F Hopkinson Smith s new
story, "a Kentucky Cinderella" will af-
ford the Journals readers great pleasure.
1t is much in the same vein as, but inf
nitely sweeter than, Colonel Garter, of
Gainesville" Other fiction features are
cold Pegs" and the continuance of '"The
of A DIV baM mi Of
Carthage and "The Jamesons in the
Country" AS usual Edward Bok's edi-
torial page is filled with seasonable sug-
gestions, and makes special plea for the
remembrance of those who are alone at
Christmas.
The complete novel in the December is
sue of Lippi1ac0tt'S is by Annie Eliza Brand
and has its action mainly in London
Mrs. Russell's Sister" is young, well to-
do, and attractive widow, who takes a
small house in back street with a view
to benefitting her humber neighbours but
her philanthropic efforts are apt to require
masculine assistance, and all her fortitude
cannot keep her lovers at distance
Lincoln of Coyote, by James T. Mckay,
is plain Western tale of a weak and al
cholic husband, wife whose patience is
worn out, dubious friend, and a faithful
one who does what he can to mitigate the
tradedy and acts as a sort of presiding
genius. 'Nobody's Fool, as described
by L. S. Bernard, was an unpretentious
person who knew how to turn the tables
on worthless wife. Charlotte Adams, in
''Six Weeks on the Stage, gives an ac-
count of a brief and Improbable theatri
cal experience.
Kate Mason Rowland sketches "Phila-
delphia a Century Age" chiefly through
letters of Mrs. Stoddert, wife of our first
Secretary of the Navy, when the city of
Penn was the national capital.
