Steamer Connecticut (fth} Pro-
vldsnce Line Had Rough Passage.
NEARLY FIVE HOURS LATE
With the WlihdGwa Of N, fravdenc, and
New Llns aas, tho Joy uns Has
Z Clean Field.

The final trip OF the steamer connecti-
cut OF the Providence line from New
York to this city on Saturday night was
made under weather conditions the most
severe encountered by the boat this sea-
son. The Connecticut was nearly six
hours late. not reaching the pier at Fox
Point until nearly 12 o'clock.
According 10 the story OF the passen-
gers the portion OF the trip which takes
in Point Judith was exceedingly rough
and many of the passengers were seasick
The boat was n long time getting around
the point.
The same story was told OF the trip OF
the steamer Chester w. Chaplin. which
made the last trip or the new line for
the season. very rough weather being en-
countered.
With the withdrawal OF the Providence
line and the New line. the JOY line is the
only line now running between this city
and New York. and the taking OFF OF the
New line boats ends fierce steamboat
war that has been raging over two years.
and which furnished means OF cheap
transportation 10 New York cheaper than
was ever known between the two cities
before.
STARTED IN 1899
The Joy line was first started In 1899.
and a small boat chartered. On the first
few trips the business was very small.
the little steamer Rosilie having plenty
OF room for more freight, later business
improved and the line was doing quite
-.
as a rival 10 the Providence line.
At this invasion OF the field the JOY
line discontinued its trips. but when the
Consolidated road absorbed the Bay line.
the JOY people were at once on deck and
the service has continued ever since, the
line being splendidly patronized by pas
sengers. and the local merchants have
been very liberal in sending freight by the
line
The Consolidated road began the rate
cutting early I'm July, 1900 the Massachu-
setts being put on as competitor 90 the
Joy line. the line being named the New
line. Up TO this time the JOY line had but
one steamer sailing Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays. the fare being N.75.
FARE PLACED AT 81.
The Massachusetts sailed the same
nights and the fare was placed at 81.
The same season the Consolidated began
TO run cheap excursions to Martha's Vine
yard In opposition TO tho Joy line excur-
sions to that place
1t was but a few days before the Joy
line met the cut OF the Consolidated. go
ing II a little better giving the round trip
for $3.50 Later the Joy line established a
double service and the New line followed
suit, the Consolidated making a further
cut to 80 cents.
This last cut was not met by the JOY
line however. but the boats were crowd
ed on every trip at the old rates. The
scarcity and high price OF coal has forced
the Joy line 10 raise its rates to s1.25. but
at this figure the passage TO New York
can still be made at about one half the
prices charged by the cheapest OF the
Consoiidated's many lines to the Metrop-
oils.

SECURING YOUR SCALP.

VIII Remove the Loose Dandruff Scales
But 1t Won't Cure Dandruff.
If your hair is brittle and thinning,
you have dandruff. The mere securing
of the scalp of the loose scales, won't
cure dandruff; because dandruff is
nothing but scales of scalp being
thrown up by pestiferous little germ
in burrowing it's. way to the root of the
hair where it saps the vitality causing
falling hair and, in time badness. Now
you can't stop dandruff, nor falling
hair, nor prevent badness unless you
destroy that germ; and the only prep
aration that can do it is the new sci
entific discovery, Newbro's Herpicide.
In fact no other hair preparation claims
TO kill the dandruff germ-all of them
will clean the scalp; soap and water
will do that, but only Newbros Herpi-
eide gets at the root of the trouble and
kills the dandruff germ.

around It's roots. The Prince was taken to the old Washington home by Supt H. H. Dodge and there met delegation of the Mt Vernon ladies association headed by Mrs. Justine Van Rennesar Townsend of Washington. He spent few minutes in looking at the Washington relics and then departed for Washington.
 Large crowds watched his arrival and departure and his course through his- toric old Alexandria was lined with peo- pie who cheered him cordially. Many of the people of Alexandria mistooK Lieu tenant Commander Schmidt von Schwind for the Prince and their error led to an amusing incident. The resemblance be- tween the two is striking and when the crowd singled out the young naval of cer and cheered him the Prince was de- lighted. He called Chief Wilkie of tie secret service and laughingly gave him this order MT WillSie, please tell Mr. he does now for he must remember that 1 have a reputation to sustain"
 The lieutenant commander was empar- rassed by the enthusiastic attention of the crowd and did not thoroughly sappre- ciate the humor of the Prince. He tried to be unconcerned over the crowd and would neither bow nor salute in answer to the cheers.
 It was 4:30 o'clock when Washington was reached on the return trip and the Prince was driven to the German em- bassy.

 The river at that point is rising rapidly and shows no signs of receding, but rath- CT of an increased rise, and the gorge above is holding back large volumes of water. The handsome bathhouse of L. H. Morris at Oakmount was destroyed entailing loss of several thousand dol lars. It was caught between the ice and crushed like an eggshell A dozen other people in the vicinity of Oakmount and verona lost pleasure boats.
 At Other Places.
 The ferry at Veronia is in great dam ger and may be destroyed at any minute. At Nine Mile island the ice is goraing and threatens the small hamlet of Silyan with a disastrous flood.

Situation is Critical But Re-
 suit Can't be Foreto|d
ICE MOVES IN SOLID MASS
River Men Are On the Alert and Peo. pie of Small Towns Are Hourly Expecting Great Flood-Much
 Damage Already Done.

Pfttsburg, February N.--At midnight the Allegheny river lee at this point had not moved in any great degree and Pitts burg and Allegheny are still menaced with flood and great damage otherwise The governments forecaster considers the situation critical but cannot fortell when the foe will move or what 1t will do. Riv- ermen are on the alert but still hope the ice will go out without causing much damage. The disquieting feature of the slight movement above here today is the fact that the gorge moved in a solid mass and should 1t continue in this way until 1t reaches here great damage will result as the Fort Wayne bridge at Eleventh street will surely stop it and back the watwer over the river banks Should this occur, the lower parts of both cities will be badly flooded
 Situation Very Serious.
 At midnight the flood situation at Oak mount and other points above is very seri- ous. Boat houses have been swept away, boats crushed and all kinds of river craft destroyed. The Joe began to moge this evening shortly after o'clock It moved in solid mass from Logan Eddy to Oak mount, distance of five miles, It then stopped and began to gorge at Blacks Run, at which place the ice began to roli
