BUsLOH IIdIIsCTIpI
The advantages of the evening high school
and the evening schools which are con-
nected with the Young Mems Christian AS
sociations and Unions are being recognized
more and more. At present there is a
large number of young men who are taking
advantage of these classes to study French.
The reason for their doing so is this In
1900 it is expected that there will be a de-
mand for young men who are able to talk
French fiuently. They will be wanted to
accompany small parties of persons who
do not speak the French language. This
is very good opportunity for young col
ored men, who as a general rule make the
very best of bOdy-servants. to take up the
study of the French language, as it will not
inestimable value next year. One young
man was heard to say, IF I am able to
perfect myself in French to such an extent
as to be able to talk huently and am sue
cessful in getting a position, 1 shall see the

a good time and receive regular wages.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-With clear
skies and warmer weather New. York
has started to dig itself out of the snow.
By noon the mercury had reached rs
dogs. above zero and there was not a
cloud in the sky. After Saturdays half
holiday and the suspension of business
on Sunday and Monday street traffic
was tremendous, with the result Of
blockades everywhere. The snow con-
tractors estimated that upwards of $780,
600 loads of snow were removed from
the streets during the day. The rail-
ways running into the Grand Central
station did not make much progress in
restoring order from the chaos into
which the blizzard has plunged them.
While their officials were hopeful they
would be able to establish some kind of
train service soon they were obliged to
admit that no through trains had passed
over their lines since Monday.

PACIFIC CABLE NEEDED.

Message to Congress Recommending That
One BE Laid.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.--The president
sent message to congress during
the day calling attention to the urgent
necessity for the construction Of cable
across the Pacific ocean. It does not
make any specific Recommendation as to
the mode by which the cable shall be
secured, the main point being that it is
imperatively necessary a cable should
be laid. .,s 5 ,.a..,. ..:.-..,-.
The president points: out that at least
two years must elapse after giving the
order for the cable before the entire
system could be successfully laid and
put in operation. Further deep sea
soundings must be taken west of the
Hawaiian islands before the best route
for the cable can be selected. Under
these circumstances it becomes para.
mount necessity that measures should
be taken before the close of the present
congress to provide such means as may
seem suitable for the establishment of q
cable system.
