DETROIT, Mich, March l0.-Over 1000
telephones were rendered useless today by
the rain which fell and froze during the entire
morning The 30-mile- an hour wind which
accompanied the rain played havoc with the
wires, weighed down as they were by ice.
Officials tonight estimated their total loss in
the state at $40, 200. Street car service was
greatly impaired during the morning by the
ice. The storm was general throughout the
southern part of the state, wires suffering
everywhere.

A NATION GOING.
Finland's National Existence will Soon
 Be Thing of tho Past.

Tragedies of history are becoming so numerous in the world just now that the world ceases to wonder. One of the latest moves in the crushing out of Finland by the heavy hand of the
 great white ear" is the requisitioning by Gov. Bobrikoff Russia's tool, of sample copies of all text books used in Finnish schools. Russia, which has suppressed the Finnish newspapers thought to be inimical to programme of plotting out Finnish nationality, is now, it is thought. preparing to lay its hands upon the Finnish system of edu- cation. The unexpected attack on Fin nish national integrity was begun on Feb 15, 1899, by ukase of the czar, which made the legislature of the grand duchy mere council for con- sultation for recording the imperial wishes. The czar refused to listen to Finnish protests, and the programme of making Finland a Russian province has gone steadily on ever since. A people which from time immemorial has had constitutional government and it's own system of religious, mili- tary and educational organization is to be dominated by nation having brute force as it's chief recommends tion. Finland, with the smallest per centage of illiteracy in Europe, is to be overrun with benighted Russian mou- jiks and reduced to the educational level of Russia iself. While the czar of Russia was issuing his call for universal peace congress his minons were crushing out the national life of Finland The memorable system of Russia is stronger even than the czar. His humane sentiments cannot stand in the way of Russian world policy
 Neither can any considerations of civ ilizations or humanity stand in the way. The crushing out of Finland is one of the darkest of the many trage- dies now being enacted on the stage of world history. It is not relieved even by gleam of promise for better civ i1ization in the country which is to lose it's national life Yet the world looks on lndifferently. A general eallousness seems to have taken hold of nations. The cry of the weak and oppressed hss'es no response. Sympathy seems
 be altogether with the strong A nation may do anything it is powerful enough to do.-Baltimore News.

 The Turkish bath in the larger cities of the world has developed new in- dustry for woman Thus far, says the New York Post, there is no name for it. but it comes close to what in the old days was known as the trade of bushelwoman. InI c1i ion and modification, however, glves IL an entirely different character. The first one appeared in New York this week and made so successful a debut that others will undoubtedly come forward in the next month or two. A lady vis its a bath and, after disrobing and donning her bathing tunic, hands over her clothing to the bushelwoman. She dusts it, rena4 .

The garments come out neat, spotless, "dressy" and void of all germs. The cost is moder- ate and the satisfaction to the weareT unspeakahle.

 The town of Paignton, England, has revived an old custom of making plum pudding for the benefit Of the local poor. After being drawn in pro- cession round the town, it was cut tip and sold. it's weight-250 pounds compares. however, but poorly with Paignton S former efforts. In 1919 pudding weighing 900 pounds was made, with, unfortunately, but indif ferent success, for after boiling three days and nights in brewers copper, 1t was pronounced too "doughy' to be eaten. However, in 1858 tthe inhabi- tants recovered their prestige and beat the record with a pudding a ton and a half in weight, and costing $225. Ia it's composition were employed 513 pounds of flour, 191 of bread, 382 pounds of raisins, 191 pounds of cur rants. 3S2 pounds of suet, 320 lemons, 360 quarts of milk, IA nutmegs, 95 pounds of sugar. besides a d1an'its' e5

 Telephone numbers have an ae e.lai money value" said an officer of the American Bell Telephone company.
 The assertion has strange sot nd, but if you think for moment of the advantage a business house derives from having it's location well known the thing seems only natural. In the course of time peoples minds be- in to associate firm with it's telephone number, and if when they start to call up an old friend they find him mas querading under a new number it is as much of shock as if they had called at a house with whom they were in the hab- of doing b mess and found it had moved away" quotes the New York Mail and Express. Tt all comes under the legal head of good will very elusive commodity, but much is this fact appreciated by some of our old patrons that they are will ing 10 pay heavy mileage, if they move away from the neighborhood of their exchange, in order te retain their old telephone address. Many important houses have followed the northward trend of business in the last few years and there are several cases of firm !. office addres being in the uptown dis trlct, while it's telephone number re- mains so-and-so Cortland or Broad. The firms line to the exchange may be several miles long,"

 "The coffee-house keepers have been obliged to raise their prices, for they saw insolvency looming ahead.

 'r''"= e'3 story of OdAote rebuking his coartiers is well known to most of us, King Canute, desirous of teaching his hatte"ing courtiers lesson, caused his throne to be set up on the seashore as the tide was coming in and nearing it's height. Surrounded by all the great dignitaries of the kingdom, he summoned the tiatterers to his pres ence and asked them if they believed the sea would recognize his authority. Relieve il. cried Eael EalfYyd, "thero is nc doubt of it. Your majesty has but to command, you will be Gbeyed." The obsequ4ous coUfters joined in a chorus nf So say We. all of us. Very good said the king, nov do you, each ip turn, stand on the steps of yon- der throne and bid the sea retire." isls command was obeyed and courier after couftieg, after complying, retired bafAed amid the jeering laughter of the populaee. In this manner the time was fully occupied until the hour of Hood WAS passed and the tide was just abo'lt the ebb when the king aseended the throne He bade the waves re- tire and was soon left in triumph upon dry ground, amid the loud ap- p.ause of his loyal subjects. You see, gentlemen he said turning to his courtiers. there is all the difference in the world between q regular three- ply all-wool king, like myself, and a lot of insignificant subjects like you.

When District Attorney Philbin gets
Deputy Commissioner Deveiy of the
New York Police force on the witness
stand he should endaavor to lead him
into reminiscance. Devery could be
exceedingly interesting in this role
The New York Tribune gives an in
tercsting chapter in the career of this
man who is the practical head of the
Police force IN the great American
metropolis. 1t says
In 1891 this man who pretends to
PITY wcmen was dismissed from the
force for matchmaking them by 4
Police Commission under Tammany
government. Katie Schubert, the
keeper of n disorderly house in Chrys-
tie Street, testified that Capt. Devery
troduced himself as the new Captain on
his arrival in the precinct. He want
ed $500, which she did not have, but a
few days later he and Glennon called
| again and Devery took from her $500.
Karl Werner. the keeper of a similar
resort, testified that Devery came to
his house with Glennon. introduced
| the latter as his wardman, ana tie
next dav Glennon called alone and M
! tired into negotiations which resulted
in Werner paving the wardnan $500.
| The Police Commission dismissed Dev-
cry from the force, but the courts re-
stored him. not on the grounds that the
charges against him were untrue but
because the dismissal was technically
illegal owing to his insubordinate re-
fuSal to obey the summons of the
and their acting on his case without
his appearance"
The fact that man of this charac-
ter and calibre, coarse brutal and de-
PRAYED in instinct, can be at the head OF
the New York police force is in itself
startling commentary upon the utter
and hopeless rottenncss Of Tammany
Hall. NOwonder the decent elements OF
all parties are endeavoring to unite this
lail in desperate attempt to drive
from bower an organization whose
rule makes possible the elevation q:
responsibility.

Currency for the Philippines.

The problem Of devising simple
and adequate currency system for the
Philippine Islands is engaging the
careful attention of Secretaries Gage
and Root. The natives have not taken
kindly to the introduction of Ameri-
can coin. and while it must eventually
come into general use among them it
is felt that the transition from the old
unit of eXchange-the Mexican dollar
should he made as easy AS possible
Some plan to this end VIII doubtless
be presented to the next Congress. IT
is not unlikely that a special Philip
pine dollar. continuing somewhat less
silver than the Mexican dollar may be
coined and put in circulation as an
intermediate step in bringing about this
result. With the pacification of the
islands. and the large consequent in
crease in their business operations
has come an urgent demand for larger
volume of currency. This may be ex-
peCted to increase rapidly during the
next few wears. and it will be the duty
of Congress to provide some practical
means of meeting it.
