Winter in the Sunny South.

The Journal has told the story of our
Northern winter from week to week. We
have had more days Of continuous cold
weather than usual and one drifting snow
storm, but the mercury has not gone so
low hele as it has in Baltimore and Wash
ington, our bays have not been frozen
over, and there has been no suffering from
cold From the South comes different

Provisions were scarce and travel on the
railroads and street railways was suspend
ed for days. Vessels were frozen in and
much damage was done to shipping.
\ private letter from the National Cap
ital under date Of Feb. 18th says BE
tween our dreadful blizzard, with the mer-
curry at j. degrees below zero, snow piled
everywhere from 10 to 20 feet, a coal fam
inc on hand and a food famine threatened,
no street cars, carriages OF carts running,
no trains coming in from anywhere the
city in darkness because the gas was
frozen up and the Kerosene supply ex-
hausted WaShngtonans have had about
all they could do to live for the past ten
days. 1t is warmer now, and some of our
evils are abated, but not yet the food add
coal scarcity; and now q new danger is
threatened in the rise of the Potomac
river. Were you not in Washington some
20 years ago when Pennsylvania avenue
was oyerfowed and congressman had to
be rowed to the capitol in boats? They
say the conditions of to- day are much
worse than then; and only the good LORD
knows what may happen to us next
The Washington Star in its real estate
article discusses seriously the future of
suburban real estate in connection with
this storm, when dwellers in the suburbs
could neither get to the city nor from the
city to their homes, but concludes that
such storms are not likely to be frequent.
1t also speaks of the difficulty of warming
city residences during the severe cold
which prevailed and thinks the fault is in
the construction of the houses, and sug-
gests that with thicker walls they would
be cooler in summer and warmer in win
ter.
Still farther south the weather was quite
as severe. In Clarendon, South Carolina,
birds of various species were to be found
almost anywhere frozen to death, but
doves seemed to have persisted in greater
numbers than any other birds. In Geor-
gia the peach and in Florida the orange
crops suffered On the whole q compari-
son would be decidedly in favor of our
Northern winter.

aggression-to plant that glorious banner
of freedom, of liberty and of hope all
over the Philippines, and endeavor to
have those poor ignorant people under

shoot but to teach; to build school houses
and churches and instruct them in the

The Boothby Fire in Jackson.

Our Brooks correspondent drove to
of the Boothby tragedy and get the facts
in the case. His team was the first to fol
low the road breakers team for a long dis
lance, although it was three days after the
tragedy occurred. Arriving at the place
he found that the house, shed and car
riage house with all their contents had
been destroyed. The barn, which stood
but a short distance away, was east of the
house and the strong northeast gale that
was blowing saved that. He then drove
to the house of Eden Sparrow, who said
that Monday morning he with Simeon
Lenfest drove past the Boothby house and
saw Mr.. Boothby with pail of stuff going
to feed his hogs. This was the last time
that he was seen alive. They drove back
by the place at o'clock in the afternoon
and noticed nothing wrong. Mr. Sparrow
started after three clock to 90 by the
place on his way to the house of Aaron
Snow, and when near the place saw that
the house was on fire. lie went on horse
back to his house, almost a quarter of a
mile distant, got his son Everett and Mr..
Lenfest and they FASTENED to the scene.
The frame had fallen in. Everett Sparrow
went to his house of Albert Croxford and
notified him and he got to the place about
o'clock. They were the only parties
who got there that night, as a severe gale
was on.
The next morning neighbors came along
and the search Of the ruins began, result
ing in the finding of the remains of Asa
Boothby and his sister Mary. They were
the only occupants of the house. Mr..
Boothby was about so years of age and
his sister about IS. She was a cripple.
His body was found under his bedroom
and hers under the place where the lounge
sat that she usually laid upon. Near her
were the remains of the house cat The
remains of Mr.. Boothby and his sister
were taken in charge by G. H. Hadley,
chairman of the selectmen, and left at
the house of Fred Ii. Brown. The coro-
ners inquest, held next day, returned a
verdict of death from accidental causes.

A Song.

Sing me a sweet, low song ofS6ight
Before the moon Is risen,
A song that tells the stars delight
Escaped from days bright prison.
A song that Croons with the crlcket's voice
That sleeps with the Swallowed trees,
A song that shall bid my heart rejoice
At its tender mysteries
And then when the songis ended, love,
Bend down your head unto me-
Whisper the word that was born above
Ere the moon has swayed the sea.
Ere the oldest star began to shine,
Or the farthest sun to burn,
The eldest of words, o heart of mine,
Yet newest, and sweet to learn!

statement that Japan is the only
