CHICAGO SALOONS CLOSED.
TOpers Unable to Get n Drink mt the
AIl-Night Resorts.

CHICAGO, Dec. %. = All saloons were
closed as tight as drums at midnight to-
night, for the first time since the present
mayor. Carter II. Harrison. has held Of
flee. Chicago was given taste of the blue
laws, and the men sitting as grand jurors
liz the Criminal Court building, through
their deliberations and exposures, were
charged with the responsibility for the
great change.
The orders closing the saloons emanated
from Chief OF Police Joseph Kipley's Of
fice and were read to every police officer
detailed on night duty at evening roll call.
Captains and lieutenants, in advising their
subordinates, told them the order was ION

establishments that the law must be obeyed
brought laughter and ridicule upon them
until it apparent the patrolmen IN

men who conduct all-night resorts were
nonplussed. They hurried to the City Hall,

LIPTON's SECOND YACHT.
1t VIII BE Constructed by the Dennys
After a New Model.


LONDON, Dec. 29.-George w. Watsons
desertion of the Hendersons and his en-
ployment by the Dennys, who have never
built sailing yachts of any description. TO
construct Sir Thomas Lipton's second
Americas cup challenger has created much
discussion and hitherto has not been ex-
planned. A representative of the Asso-
ciated Press learns, however that Mr..
Watson was influenced by the benefits of
the Dennys testing tank. which he first
tried with the yacht Lysistrata After this
he utilized the tank for series of expert
mentS to determine the best hull shape for
Shamrock Ill before he signed the contract
with Sir Thomas Upton. He is convinced
he has discovered hull much better than
anything he has ever designed. The test
ing tank is in reality pond two hundred
feet long, twenty-five feet broad and nine
feet deep. Over it is a railroad with a
car drawn by stationary engine. The
model is attached to the carriage and the
speed got from every model for every
ounce of power is automatically recorded.
There are arrangements also for testing at
to be the only one of its kind in the world
BY its means Mr.. Watson has tried a
dozen models. The Importance of these ex-
periments can be judged from his admis-
sion that ii was due to a fault of the hull
that Valkyrie and Shamrock failed. 1t is
believed the new boat will stand driving
hard without drawing a big quarter wave
behind. Hence secrecy is so carefully OBJ
served.

CARBONDALE, ILL.,, Dec. 29.-About four
months ago r. o. Deason, a saloon keeper

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The following
statements are based on average weather
conditions for January. as determined by
long series of observations. AS the
weather of any given January does not
conform strictly to the average conditions,
the statements cannot be considered as
forecasts:
january Is a month of severe storms I'm
the middle ATTITUDES OF the North Atlantic
ocean. Along the transatlantic steamship
tracks these storms set in with southeast
gales which shift TO west and northwest
with freezing temperature. West-bound
vessels experience sudden shifts of wind
from the southeast and storms of COMPARE
lively short duration, and have prevailing
strong head (westerly) winds. Storms en-
countered by eastward-bound vessels are
fewer in number and of longer duration;
the vessels and the storms travel in the
same direction. Storms seldom appear in
the tropical regions of the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans in January. On the north
coast of western Cuba, however and in
the Gulf OF Mexico high and cold northwest
winds are not uncommon during the win
ter months.
I'm the lake region and the Atlantic
coast districts of the United States the
middle West and Southwest, with north
east shifting TO northwest gales and snow
TO the north and rain or light snow to the
south OF the paths of the storms. In the
Paciflc-coast States the rainy season is at
its height and strong gales occur from the
central California coast to Alaska In the
plateau and ROcky-mountain districts and
on the great plains the prevailing weather
Is fine and cold. This entire region is. how
ever. subject to occasional cold waves of
great severity. which. with snow and high
winds, sweep southwark TO New Mexico
and Texas and sometimes to the Rio
Grande and northern Mexico. causing great
losses Of stock on the great ranges.
Frost Is likely to occur in any part of
the United States in January. and about
once IN five years severe freezes occur i'm
the gulf-coast districts and In central and

PARIS, Dec. 29.-Cardinal Richard, arch
bishop of Paris, has received a long letter
from the Pope expressing bitter sorrow at
the danger threatening the religious or
ders. His Holiness advises the French
bishop to work in perfect harmony to safe
guard the interests of the congregation.
The anti-ministerial press makes much
capital out of the Pope's letter. The Gau-
lois says it foresees a rupture between the
Vatican and the Elysee, and declares that
the Ministerialists are delighted with the
prospect. La Requblique expresses the fear
that Germany and Austria will be able to
replace French influence in the far East If
the law of associations is passed.
