A Difference IN WINTERS.

The following excerpts from the Win
nebago City Press News shows strik-
ing contrast between the winters of
1881 and 1902:
The weather reports give us no
hope for change of weather. The
lawns are getting green, coal and wood
barons of the great cities are bowed
down with sorrow. Talk about your
summer resorts! Minnesota is run
ming on Florida scale. Press
News, Jan. II, 1902.
How different it was twenty years
ago in Winnebago City. The Press
News of January 16. 1881, says:
"The blizzard of the 9th inst, was
one of the most severe ever known in
this section. The oldest inhabitant'
says it was-bar none-the largest
fall of snow ever known in Faribault
county. Winnebago is blockaded. No
trains are running and business is
practically suspended. The storm came
up from the southeast and lasted three
days. On Main street drifts so high
that travel is impossible. The drifts
are ten to fifteen feet high betw cen the
Soud and Kimball hotels Tunnels
have been drilled for the use of pedes-
TRANS. In some places the drifts cover
the tops of buildings. Wood is a scarce
article so also is kerosene. Unless we
are hemmed in too long it is thought
we have enough groceries in town,
both wet and dry, to stand US
through the siege"

were related by Mr.. Riis. Gangs of
criminals, young and old, were broken
up, and the expense of the city in
guarding against them was reduced.
AS soon as the boys had place to play
they ceased making trouble for the
police and growing up as candidates
for the prisons and gallows.
Mr.. Riis gave the Kings Daughters
and other societies of like nature in
New York great credit for the good
work which they have accomplished
in aiding to bring about the reforms
and in rescuing people from hopeless
or sinful lives. He praised President
Roosevelt for the great interest which
he had shown in the movement and
the help which he had given it as a
police commissioner. He praised the
late Col. Waring, who did so much to
improve the sanitary condition of the
city and who laid down his life in
Havana in successful attempt to
stamp out yellow fever and thus pro-
tect the United States from epidemics
of this disease. Mr.. Riis omitted to
mention the important part which ne
himself mas taken in the contest with
the slums.
One of the views showed street as
it was under Tammany rule. 1t was
covered and piled with filth and rub
bish. The same street was shown un-
der the reform administration. The
pavement was SO cleanly swept that
every paving block or stone stood out
in relief.
Those who have followed the MUM
cipal history of New York city closely
have been aware to some extent of the
changes that recent years have wit
messed, during periods when the Tam
many ring has been overthrown. but
few realized the full meaning of it
until Mr.. Riis brought it clearly be-
fore them with his pictures and ex-
planatory remarks. Even readers OF
Mr. Riis' admirable books have not
had the complete conception of the sit
uation that they do since listening to
the lecture last night. With the
knowledge gained, it cannot but be the
ardent wish of all that the reforms sc
we'll begun in the New York slum dis
tricts may be continued there and
adopted in all large cities.
Many in the audience took the op'
portunity of meeting Mr.. Riis after the
lecture. He is very pleasant, cordia
gentleman, and makes friends of al
who meet him.
The next entertainment on the
course will be given Feb. 25th, anG
