the great lakes during the next few
days would be apt to be attended with
more or less disastrous results. For
something like two weeks there have
been heavy snow falls. and the high
lands of Pennsylvania, New York and
other states are filled with snow and
the rivers with ice. A sudden thaw
would let loose volumes of water that
would amount to floods. The weather
bureau has already issued a warning
TO persons living in exposed places
to be. on their guard

far as the destruction of the building
is concerned the hotel was practically

A GRAND SUCCESS.
The Entertainment by Mt, Joseph's $
 Alumni at the Hyperion.

The Entertainment by Mt, Joseph's
 Alumni at the Hyperion.
 The refined entertainment given at the Hyperion yesterday afternoon and last night for the benefit of the Sisters of Mercy throughout the state, under the auspices of the alumni of Mt. St. Joseph, was a grand success beyond ex- pectation.
 Long before the curtain took it's flight to the lofts the house was filled with the many friends of this noble | band of workers Never before have they appealed to the hearts of their friends for some little token of by gone days.
 The opening number consisted or Johnson and Wells, coontoWn sWells. From the beginning to the end or the act they brought forth laughter and applause Mr Johnson certainly must have had rubber underpinning to keep up the bouncing he did. Their songs were much enjoyed.
 Then followed Grant and Ray, nu- sical comedians. It would be hard to distinguish the merit between these two gentlemen, their every act ana mo ton causing laughter. The cornet solo by Mr. Grant was certainly appreciated and he rendered for the encore "Go Forth and Bind" Miss Atalie Clane appeared to the warm applause of all Stately and radiant in queenly gown she rendered several selections fully justifying her title of American prima donna Dancing and beaming With smiles came Miss Florence Bindley the famous instrumentalist, whose super iority is quite undisputed by all. Her mimicing of the French singer brought her abundant cheering. Maud Beall Price. female monologist and imitator, held the audience in rapture by her clever assays of mimicry. She proved to be very popular. The comedietta en- titled Her Uncles Niece which, by the way is a farcical absurdity, cut the string to the bag of laughter The success is due to Miss Julia Kingsley, assisted by Nelson Lewis MT. Lewis sudden flight to the top of the piano was most amusing and comical. ven trioouist is always welcome, but Alex ander Wilson was more than welcome with his little Willie Green. The clos ing attraction was the renowned royal Japanese troup from the court ot Japan. Only eye witnesses can realize the wonderful feat of daring performed.
 All went home with smiling faces and full of praise for the alumni ot Mt. St. Josephs and wishing the good Sis ters of Mercy like good fortune In oth- CT cities. The Catholic clergy Of all the city churches and several out ot town were present to encourage by their presence the young ladies in whose excellent charge the programme was prepared and matured according to promise.
 It is the urgent hope of all that 1t will not be long before another such evening of refined pleasure can be en- joyed and remembered with pleasure.

! Here he paid a tribute to Lord | Pauncefote, who took such an active part in the conference at The Hague | M. Cambon then entered upon that | phase of his subject which dealt with
 private interests and the relations be- | tween nations as regards the applioa-
 tion of their private laws to foreigners While we are free to admit common
 rules in the domain of public law, he said, we are forced to acknowledge that
 nothing is more mutable than private law, and the rule of diplomacy is to un- derstand the divergence of these laws,
 to seek to reconcile them and thus to endeavor to protect the rights of pri- Vate parties even in foreign land. He pointed out that France was the first nation to enter upon this field when she concluded a treaty with Sardinia in 1760 which allowed the execution of judgments in France properly rendered , in Sardinia. In certain countries, he continued, the mode of organization at { times creates unexpected obstacles to the carrying out of international agree ments.
 In this connection he called attention to the fact that the individual rights of the states which form the United States sometimes complicate the task of the government at Washington in it's rela- tionS with foreign powers. It seems, he said, that since the states can have no individual intercourse with foreign powers, the federal government, which alone possesses the right to negotiate on their behalf, should be empowered to see to the complete execution of the agreements which it has made.
 We must aim" said M. Cambon in concluding his address, ito destroy all those barriers between civilized nations which maintain between them a certain indetinable spirit of latent hostility, a lingering vestige of the old barbarism" In time of war private property should receive the same protection in naval as in land campaigns, said the ambassa- dor. He gave it as his opinion that the maintenance of prize laws robs the combatants of that attribute which does them the most nor-disinterested sac rifice in their country's cause.
 While much still remains to be done said the ambassador, each day sees the nations grow more considerate of one another in their mutual intercourse. Tt is a notable fact" he said that after the recent happenings in China, France sent to the Chinese government the works of art which had been shipped to her, while President Roosevelt has just restored to China a sum of s376,00O, which had been seized in Tien Tsin. Such generous proceedings would have greatly astonished our ancestors :"
