WEST |S SWEPT
 BY |CY WINDS Worst Blizzard of the Winter Causing Great Damage ONE MAN FROZEN 10 DEATH 
Rowling North Winds Cover All Ok lahoma and it is Feared Many Cattle Will be Lost Before
 the Storm Subsidies.

Guthrie O. T., January 26.-The cold est weather of the winter, with the ther- monpeter at zero all day and bowling north wind, covers all Oklahoma Fossil bly no where else in the Southwest will its severity be so great. The weather has been so spring-lilxe for the past month that the sudden change will play havoc with cattle in all portions of the territory. The wheat crop will also suffer loss, as not enough snow has accompanied the blizzard to protect the rank growth.
 In the new country settlers and espec- ially those in moving wagons. of which there are hundreds, will suffer terribly. In the Indian Territory, principally in the Creek nation where the full bloods are in destitute circumstances, the con ditions are very bad for undergoing the rigors of such weather. In this country are many whites, prospective settlers, without funds and friends.

New York, January 26-The Right Rev. L. K. Coppin, who sailed from this city about a year ago to take charge of the Fourteenth Episcopal Diocese of the Afri- can Methodist Episcopal church in South Africa returned here today on the Um- bria. He is from Philadelphia and was the first bishop sent out by the A. M. E. church to take charge of this diocese which lies south of the Gambesi river and comprises two conferences, the South African and the TransvaaL
 T found plenty of work awaiting me when l got out there" he said today, ''rhe two conferences were mapped out but were not organized and only start had been made in their development. We now have between forty and fifty churches established with more than 100 travelling ministers. We have recently bought a. large building in Capetown. where in February next we will open 2 school to prepare students for a collegi- ate course. We are also hoping soon to start an industrial and literary school near Bloemfontein on the same general pan as the Scnool at IuSkegee, Ala
 We are seriously handicapped in this project by the unsettled condition of the country on account of the war. There sems little hope of the terrible war cloud lifting. You cannot conceive the condi- ton of affairs over there. The Boers are gradually being wiped off the earth. It Is no longer war but a process of slow extermination. England will never listen to any arbitration proposition which means restoration of the republic and the Boers will accept no other settlement Just as long as they are able to keep up the guerrilla method of warfare they can, notwithstanding the smallness of their numbers keep thousands of soldiers in the field busy watching them and try ing to head them off :"

Lincoln, Neb., January 26.-Nebraska suffered from below zero weather today. A stiff north wind blew across the state and intensified the disagreeable tempera- ture. The weather was generally clear and the sun shone. None of the railroad lines were entirely blocked, although on many of the branch lines 1t was found necessary to use snow blows. Trains from the west were from one to six hours late. Reports from the ranges where the temperature is said to have fallen to 25 below last night indicate considerable suffering to stock. In Lincoln the street car lines were tied up

pecnIiarlttes OF Lichens.

The lichen is remarkable for the great
age to which it lives, there being good
grounds for believing that the plants
endure for 100 years. Their growth
is exceedingly slow, almost beyond be-
lief, indicating that only little nour-
ishment is necessary to keep them
alive. In dry time they have the
power to suspend growth altogether
renewing 1t again at the fall of rain
This popularity alone is enough tc
make the Iichen vegetable wonder
as It is a property possessed by no 9th
er species of plant.
Another interesting fact about II.
chens is that they grow only where the
air is free from dust and smoke. They
may be said to be sure indication Of
the purity of the air, as they are never
found growing in cities and towns
where the atmosphere is impregnated
with dust, SCOT, smoke and other i'm
purities

The old Pikemen.

In the days when the musket was In
its infancy as a defense against charg-
ing cavalry it was almost useless. 1t
was as much as could he hoped for IL
the musketeer got off one shot, to a
certainty badly directed, owing to the
eccentricities of his weapon, before the
horsemen would be on him. Conse-
quently we find that the pikeman was
a person of considerable Importance,
and in volume of 1859 the most elab-
crate instructions are given to govern
the drill and tactics of the pikemen,
who in action were, as rule, placed
in bodies among the musketeers to
stand the brunt Of the shock Of the
cavalry attack.
And we learn from history that these
pikemen did valiant service on occa-
sion; for instance, when the pikemen
of the London trained bands withstood
the repeated and desperate assaults of
Prince Rupert's cavaliers. But their
drill was no child's play. For example,
in the pages devoted to 1.-THE Pastures
and Charges of the Pike we find the
following:
"And here, Fellow Souldier, whoever
thou art, thou maist perceive that there
are no more than eight Pastures of the
Pike and foure Charges, that is to say,
to the Front, Reer and both Flanks."
