CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-The snow storm
of Saturday night and Sunday morn

years. The greatest damage as we'll as
Inconvenience was caused by the break
ing down of telegraph and telephone
wires. In this respect the damage was
widespread, and in all parts Of
the city poles and wires were brought
to the ground. The storm was a
heavy fall of snow with high winds all
over Northern and Central Illinois, In
diana, Iowa, Lower Michigan, South
ern Wisconsin and much of Kansas,
Nebraska and Northern Missouri. All
kinds of outdoor business suffered. The
snow was wet and heavy. Much of it
melted as it fell. The remainder
clung wherever it touched. Weather
few degrees colder would have made
the storm genuine old-fashioned drift

r In 1906. Napoleon erected as an en-
trance to the Tuilleries, IAN arch,
mounted by four bronze horses. The
horses originally adorning this arch
we're by successive captors taken from
Corinth to Rome, Constantinople,
Venice, Paris, and finally back to
Venice, where they now stand at the
entrance to St. Marks Cathedral.
The Place de la Concorde was then
described and it's tragic history de-
picted. Here Marie Antoinette, a
daughter of the Caesars, dethroned
and dishonored, saw the place bap'
tised in the blood Of twelve hundred
innocents, fitting prophecy Of he1
awful fate.
On the island of the original city
rises Notre Dame, so wonderfully de-
scribed by Victor Hugo that the very
stones seem to breathe life. From
thence have gone many noted pa
geants; here Napoleon was crowned
in 1904 by the most magnificent cere
monials devised by the genius Of hi:
