MEMORY.
She has passed on to a higher life,
Away from earth's din and strife;
She has gone home to love,
To be with pnre thoughts above.
Her gentle nature kind and good,
Diffused its nectar from where she stood;
monument to the Faith unfeigned,
A life where Christ reigned.
We shall miss her from this mortal walk,
But her life shall each day to talk;
Let remember her as a sweet song,
As a !oy-we shall meet again ere long.
Pure flowers only lineer while on this plane.
Their home is Heaven, free from pain;

So, sad thoughts. awayi

Chattanooga, Nov. 24.-Gen.
Joseph Wheeler, who is here attend

River Improvement association, said
yesterday in his address =
"No country can control the COM
merce of country unless it has a
voice in the government of that coun-
try. don't think the great men of
a century ago who laid down the
rules for the conduct of our govern
ment would repeat their recommends
tons if they lived today. In the
days of Monroe, Jefferson and Mad
ison we were not the producing nation
we are today. We must reach the
markets of the world with our pro-
ducts, and l believe the government
will now most wisely solve the prob,
lem before 1t. Some people will say
our country is not adapted to control
ling the people who have fallen under
our control.
"History shows we have managed
the five civilized tribes of Indians
and all others that have become de-
pendent upon us. We are capable of
extending the principles of American
civilization to any people on the face
of the earth. Some say the people of
the Philippines, Cuba and Porto
Rico are shiftless. That is not true.
They are thrifty, and will become
heavy purchasers of the products of
America. In Manila, Porto Rico
and Havana they are already alive to
the need of railroads, sanitary i'm
provements, etc, and we of the
South will be the greatest beneficial
ries of this new trade which is to
come to u.s."

The storm that struck New York

Vermont and large portion of New
Hampshire received fair share of
the brunt Of the storm. Fifteen in

Bellows Falls. At the latter place
a press dispatch says there are snow
banks 20 feet high and that between
there and Keene, on the line of the
Fltchburg railroad, there are places
drifted 40 feet high.
Our mountain towns escaped the
snow, comparatively. In this local..

Boston, Nov. pa record break
ing November blizzard swept over the
greater part Of New England last night
and today, completely demoralizing
traffic of every description and we'll
nigh paralyzing Geographic communi
cation. The gale came on with high
course Of tides that drove the sea far
beyond its usual limits and made a
mark along shore only exceeded by the
memorable hurricane of 1851.
The heaviest part of the storm was
in the southern part of New England,
that section experiencing snowfall of
from eight to twenty four inches.
Fortur a'ely the storm was heralded
sufficiently in advance by the weather
bureau to detain most of the coastwls
shipping in safe harbors, but the warn
ing was the result that nearly every
one, especially the railroads and cleo
trio companies, were caught mapping
and suffered accordingly. There was
not railroad in New England that
was not more or less tied up by the
storm.
Trains north, east, south and west
were nearly all stalled early in the
night, although one train from Bangor
reached Lynn this noon and two Chica-
go trains came into the city this eve.
ming.
In cities and towns dependent upon
electric car service it was even worse
for the damp snow packed hard on-the
rails and held up even the heavy snow
plows. The service in this city was
probably the best of any Of the sur.
rounding communities, yet even here
there was no attempt made to run more
than dozen cars on Washington
street and one or two others of the main
thoroughfares.
The storm, while not so severe and
far reaching in its effects as the fearful
blizzard of last February, was, never
theless, the heaviest experienced in
November in this part of the country
for long series of years. Coming on
Sunday, it did not, of course, cause the
annoyance or Inconvenience that would
have been the case OH week day, and
most of the transportation companies
made heroic efforts at least partly to re-
cover from the effects of blockade.
Only the first reports were received
up to 6 o'clock tonight of the first storm
on the coast, but even they gave rise
to the gravest fears for the safety Of
what little shipping may have been of
Cape Cod last night or today. 1t will
probably be two or three days before a
complete list of the disasters can be
made.
The storm was combination of two
disturbances, one of which came over

INSIGNIA OF THE ORDER.


Hot Air to Clear Mist.
1t is stated that an apparatus has
been invented in England called the
Tugrin fog dispeller. This apparatus
enables pilot or the officer in the con-
ming tower of a warship to see through
the densest fog for several hundred
feet. During an experiment in fog,
without the dispeller. nothing could be
seen at distance of fifty feet; with 1t
bricks were clearly visible at a distance
of 178 feet.
There is an outlook pipe, eight feet
long and three inches inside diameter
with a wide fiange at the mouth. A
pipe enters the tube from below, and
the outlook tube may be pointed in
any direction.
When the dispelier is in use the blow
er sends powerful stream of air
through the fog, blowing hole right
through it. The fog is rolled back in
every direction and the moisture in
suspension condenses and falls in rain
