The unexpected snow storm which
whirlod down upon Washington yesterday
is not booked 10 desert this city until
some time this afternoon. The report Of
the Weather Bureau predicts fall Of
snow or sIeet the greater part Of The day,
but the indications are that cold weather
will not accompany the storm.
At late hour last night the storm was
centred in South Carolina and moving in
northeasterly direction. It has been
showing generally from northern Georgia
to Boston, and the temperatures are low,
except on the coast, where colder weather
is expected today. At midnight about
eight inches Of snow had fallen, with two
inches additional predicted by morning.
It was with considerable difficulty that
the local street ears succeeded in keep
ing the tracks clear, but with the aid of
snow plows, which operated nearly all
day and late into the night, blockade
was prevented. On many of the streets
only one coach instead Of the usual coach
and trailer, was run. At O'Clock in
the evening this lack Of cars was made
noticeable by many people who were
on various downtown corners. unable
to secure a ride. This condition con-
tinued for an hour or more.
In the Offices Of the steam railroads only
slight train delays were reported. but
every precautiOn was taken to keep the
snow cleared from the tracks.
The citizens OF Washington may have
heen surprised at this unexpected and IN
predicted storm yesterday, but none was
more surprised than the weather Frognos-
ticators themselves.
Wednesday night the professional
weather prophets turned their Keen
eyes to the north and the south. to the
east and the west They studied their
maps carefully, and their instruments in
dleated that cloudy weather wouid prevail
the following day.
Accordingly, conditions as revealed by
their observations were sent abroad No
mention Of rain or snow FOR Thu saay was
made and the good people of Washington
retired without complaint against the ele-
m6uis.
A few hours later those same good peo-
pie were shocked by the sight OF lawn end
streets covered with several inches OF
Snow and the air Elied with flying flakes.
Little children played in the drifts. while
the irs5e street car dispatcher grabbed his
Weather card with cloud On his BROS and

The hurrying business man and subur-
LsEite VINO had left his mackintozh, rub

deep In the snow, waiting for the car that
was slow in coming.

NO FUNDS TO REMOVE SNOW.
Tie Street Cleaning Department
Helpless.


The accumulation OF snow in the streets
of Washington this morning IS as great sn
embaTrasslnent to the District authorities
as II is 20 the ordinary citizen. This arises
from the fact that the Superintendent OF
the Street Cleaning Department has not at
his disposal dollar to spend in hiring men
or carts to remove the hindrance to travel
and traffic.
A few days ago when there was a repet-
tion on a small scale OF the blizzard of 1899
the District Commissioners reminded the
committees in Congress that they had lin
ited funds at their Disposal. and asked an
Immediate appropriation OF $4,000 to meet
any emergency that might arise. This
morning the emergency is here, but the ap-
preparation is waLtiug. Mr.. StutieT. OF
TIE Street Cleaning Department, finds him
self helpless to remedy conditions, mas
much as the law does rot allov him to 20
beyond the actual appropriation granted 10
his department.

men in this particular; some are good
business men, others are not, and
farming just in proportion as they fail
in the latter, fail to make full success
of the business of placing their crops
on the market to best advantage. A
crop well grown is only half way to
market, and some of our best farmers
fail to make financial success be
cause they do not possess abilities in
the line of selling their crops.
A good marketman needs to be a
genial, candid, clever sort of a man. but

the old basis of trade.

squads Always Sell Well

Some people wonder why more
squads are not raised for market, and
say that when pigeons are so very
prolific there should be no reason for
the squads selling at from 25 cents TO
so cents each, even in winter. The rea.
son why more squads are not produced
is doubtless due to the fact that the
men that attempt to raise pigeons do
not contine them in covered yards, that
is yards with wire sides and tors. The
result is that all kinds of enemies prev
