Among the pas- sengers on the stalled train were five theatrical troupes and also the distin- guished Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. who lectured in Boston last night.

There was a slight abatement of the wind this morning, but the snow still fell and drifted high and the tempera- ture dropped rapidly. It looked this morning as though the blizzard would continue all day. but at ten o'clock there was a breakaway in the west and finally the storm ceased altogether, and the blizzard, the greatest since 1888. came to an end. The weather bu- reau in this city. in its report on the storm, says that the storm center was over the lower lake regions on Satur- dav and extended to the New Jersey coast.

Prayer Dan Stevens and NJ. Rivers, with
Prof. Hubner, violencelo and Mrs. Hub

was also played upon the same instru-

A 'Mazurka," violin, by Prof Hubner and

THE VALUE OF A SOUL.
Rev. j. w. DomingOs' Sermon at
Grace Methodist Church.

The largest congregation the protracted
services at Grace Church have yet had
listened to Rev. j. w. Domingos last
night. Mrs. Alderman sang a solo with
earnestness and power. The entire SER
vice delighted and benefited those who
attended
The text was taken from Matt. 1925:
For what is man profited if he should
gain the whole world and lose his own
soul; or what shall a man give in ex-
change for his soul"
From this the preacher discussed the
dignity and value of human soul as sug-
gested in it's origin, being made in the
image of God; as seen in its vast 'capabili-
ties, illustrated in the various vocations
of men; as proven by the contention of
two worlds for its possession; as viewed
in the cost paid for it's redemption, the
blood of the Son of Cod
The preacher spoke of the possibility
and danger of its loss as brought out in
the question of the text, and in the posi-
tive declarations of the Scriptures on the
subject. His representation of a lost soul
was most powerful and impressive, doubt
less moving many to be faithful in the
search for life eternal.
The concluding thought was that while
every soul is in imminent danger of being
forever lost yet it is by no means neces-
sary, since. a sufficient Savior has been
provided.
The services to-day will be at Il a. m.

DUFFY STREETS REVIVAL.
Unusual Interest in the Second Bap-
tist Services.


fist Services,
The meetings at the Duffy Street Baptist
Church continue to attract as many people
as last week. This is the second week of
the protracted services, and so sign of
fagginfi interest is as yet perceptible. The
pastor, Rev. DR.. James D. Chapman, feels
greatly elated with the success that has
thus far attended the meetings. There
have been more than thirty professions of
faith, and it is expected the membership
of the church, already large, viii be great
ly augmented by the time the services have
closed.
The services this week are held only at
night. The pastor has conducted most of
them, though Rev. John d. Jordan of the
First Church has aided at two services.
Mr.. Jordan's earnest eloquent and force
full sermons were greatly enjoyed by the
congregations to which he preached.
The crowds that have assembled for the
services have been another demonstration
of the great need of a new structure TAX
ing the place of that at present used as a
house of worship II is totally inadequate
for the accommodation of the large MEM
bership of the church. and often people
have been turned away during the present
services on account of there not beinf suffi-
clint room for all. When the new church
is erected it will be great qualification TO
the members.

NO LAW TO KILL CANNES.
Some Way Needed 10 RID the City of
worthless Ours.


There is no provision In the law by
which the police can rid the city of the
large number of dogs which are at present
roaming the streets, some of them in such
condition that decency at least would re-
qulre that they be confined.
A policeman's attention was called yes
terday to a canine on crowded thorough-
fare, which as a nuisance the nearby store
keepers desired removed. The officer was
not successful in getting hands. on the dog
which ran away with others.N 1.-THE only
thing which could be done legally. how
ever was TO send the canine to the bar
racks. Even If no owner had been found,
which would evidently have been the case,
the police would not have been authorized
10 do the killing. The owner is apt TO
show up after his dog has been killed and
If so disposed could worry the department
possibly with lawsuits.
1t has been suggested that a provision TO
this effect by Council and then throwing
out OF the dragnet by the police, would
soon free the city from the pest Of un-
claimed CANNES Unless something Is
done toward destroying the dogs without
owners. Il is believed the number will in
crease to such an extent as " jeopardize
the pubic health.
