An Appeal From The Ell PasO Mis-
sion.

We are not entering upon the week
th at is proverbial for bringing out the
generous side of all sorts OF individuals,
and he is chur]ish man indeed that
fails to respond to the Invitation to
send sunshine and brightness into the
homes of those who are less fortuna ate
ly placed. We have all read the delight
full story of Charles Dickens in which
he narrateS the conversion OF ScrOoge
and the happiness resulting there
from.
It may not be in the power of all to
do as much good in so short space OF
time as Scrooge, but we can do little
towards making some one happy. We
are DESTROYS of doing all that we can
during this inclement weather to AL
leviate the misery which we cannot
bright this Christmas time that other
wise may be sad. Will you not aid the
mission in this good work
~ gifts. we would like to
be able to make up parcels and
send them where we know chat they
would be gladly received. food, cloth
ing, and toys for the children. There
are lonely ones that we know who
ought to be remembered this Christ
mas by timely gifts, just to remind
them that after all they are not quite
forgotten by all the world. Send your
gifts to the mission early in the week
and we will make good disposition OF
them for you.
On Saturday we propose to have a
dinner for the wayfarers, will you not
aid us? We cannot do this without your
| assistance.
We need the mission wardrobe re-
plenished with wearing apparel Of all
kinds. Cast off clothing of every sort
will be very acceptable, if you have
! any bedding that you can let US have it
will be appreciated.
| We again need the help of the
merchants who last year sent groceries
! fruit, vegetables, bread, and meet, to-
gether with SO many things that one
can place to advantage at this season
of the year. If you can aid no other
way, Will you not send us donation
in cash? It will be thankfully accepted
and carefully applied where we be-
lieve it will do most good.

SPLIT Even,

Such was the result of the meeting
at Houston a short time ago between
the leading lights of the B. OF L. F. or
der and the master mechanics OF the
Atlantic system headed by j. j. Ryan,
superintendent of motive power OF that
system. The fremen made certain
concessions and go also did the master
mechanics. The firemen by an agree
ment at the Houston meeting are
not required to. polish the basss
on the engine. While the en-
gines are being pooled the idea
of making the fremen polish
the brass is not deemed proper
as the eng ines are shifted from one to
another. The id ca existing that fire.
man was compelled to clean his engine
q few hours after arriving in the city
is entirely wrong. The iremen mark
ed up as second or third out are the
men who are expected to clean their
engines. This agreement seems to have
been received with great favor amor e
the firemen as polishing the brass was
considered the hardest part of their
work.

Farmer Tarr Says the Cold Snap Will
 Last Several Days.
 Last night was the coldest thus far this season and if the prognostications of Farmer Tarr are to be relied upon, the worst is not yet. He said last night that the probabilities were that the cold spell would last for three or four days and that the thermometer would reach the lowest point either this morning or tomorrow morning. The area of the cold wave is of wide extent, from as far west as the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic seaboard, while the weather south is unusually cold for that section There is freezing weather on the Gulf coast and has been for several days. The cold snap will be accompanied with clear weather and MT. Tarr stated last night that no trace of snow was in sight. Early last evening the ther- mometer registered as low as 2S below zero in the northwest and the mercury was below zero through the lake re- zion and Vermont. It was expected at the local weather bureau that it would reach zero In New Haven this morning. At 7:30 last night the mercury stood at 15 above, and at 10:30 at 10 above and at that hour it was falling.

He was so determined that the invention should be put to a practical test that he put all his own money into 1t, bor- rowed as much more as he could ana when he needed more to finish the con- struction, he took other strenuous steps to obtain money enough to complete the Monitor.

 The proposed amendment to the soci- ety's constitution limiting the member ship in the state society to 150, was defeated by unanimous vote after a lively discussion as to the eXpediency of the proposed limitation.

Yesterday was without doubt the coldest day of the season, and the pros- pect last evening was that before morn- ing the mercury would drop nearly to zero.
 There does not seem to be any great enthusiasm manifested over the project of many city out of Wallingford as was seen by Monday evenings special
 borough meeting when the attendance was less than fifty persons. Attorney O. H. D. Fowler in answer to a question as to what benefit it
 would be to Wallingford to become a city stated that it was natural for a | boy to want to become a man. There are many cases where if the boy knew when he was well off and could prevent | it he would hesitate before he rushed | into uncertain conditions of affairs and | be contented to wait awhile in that state where his cares and anxieties are
 few.

HAD NARROW ESCAPE

One little tenyear-old boy will have a hole in his stocking as a result of an experience he had yesterday and should be thankful that his fortune was no worse. He was riding on a wagon on Chapel street yesterday afternoon when jolt of the wagon, which was moving rapidly, threw him from his seat and one of his legs was caught between the spokes of one of the wheels. Thus caught he was carried along with the wheel. Fortunately he was so small that his body passed between the wheel and the body of the wagon without catching. He was picked up and car- ried into Hulrs drug store, where it was found that his injuries consisted of the hole in his stocking and the loss of considerable skin. Quite a crowd collected, but the boy was able to go on his way after a little evidently more affected with fear of what his parents would think of that hole in his hose than by the fact that he had had a nar- row escape from broken limb.
