BLIZZARD WAS SIDETRACKED.
Scheduled STERN Failed to Cross thu
AIIeghanies.

AIIeghanfes.
The snow which fell yesterday morning
caused a short-lived thrill of joy to ami
mate the breast of the small boy. vi
sions of sleighrides and coasting parties
soon vanished, however, with the driz-
zling rain.
As the gloomy day wore on and yielded
TO gloomier night. it became apparent
that the Western blizzard which had been
scheduled was not to arrive.
The blizzard was officially announced
by the man who does the prophesying
trick for the Weather Bureau. He hur-
ried down to his office in macintosh
and Overshoes yesterday evening" trem-
bling with the apprehension that the
blizzard was on its way East.
Far into the night lie sat with his fin
ger on the weather-pulse of the conti-
nent, receiving reports and messages
from the West. At 1870 o'clock he arose
from his vigil with a sigh of relief and
announced that the crisis was past. The
storm had been sidetracked the other side
of the Allegheny Mountains.

EMPLOYMENT AGENTS
HAVE TRICKY WAYS
Many Complaints Against
Their Business Methods.
DUPES RELATE EXPERIENCES

Complaints are again pouring in con
corning the peculiar methods of man.
ayers of certain employment agencies
Such complaints are constantly bein1
made, but within the past week there has
been a veritable shower of them lodged
some of the stories told by people who
claim to have been victims of employ
ment agents are calculated to touch a
tender chord in even the most hardened
person. Others are amusing.
Negroes Hard Luck Tale.
Recently a meek, miId-voiced, very
black negro appeared at the Office OF
James l.. Pugh, Assistant City Solicitor,
In the Police Court building. and related
a tale of woe. He said he was told that
a certain employment agent would get
him job for a dollar. He had been out
dollar, but he called on the agent, who
told him, he claims. OF how easy il would
be to place him, and he went away After
being turned down" dozen or more
times the unfortunate finally succeeded
In borrowing the much-craved dollar.
The negro then made straight for the
agents office and handed over the money.
The agent ran over his book, and finally
gave him the name and number of a we'll
known resident, who, he said, was in
great need of just such assistance as the
applicant could give.
The negro said he was almost out of
breath when he reached the house of the
man who he was assured would hire him.
He ran nearly all the way from the
agents office, a distance of more than a
mile, only to be informed that no work
of any kind was open to him there. He
then returned to the agent, who had been
chasing him from place to place every
day for week before he complained.
Lawyer Had Frequent Calls.
A white man about twenty years of age
was among the number that claimed he
had been mulcted. He said he gave an
uptown agent a dollar TO get him situa-
tion. He was directed to the residence Of
a prominent lawyer, who he was assured
wanted laborer. WheE he made known
the object of his call ha said the man Of
law grew almost livid With rage.
Young fellow" he exclaimed, i've got
a notion to throw you out of the door
You are about the twentisth man that
has been here for job within the past
three days. l don't blame you for trying
to get work, but I'm too busy to have my
time taken up in this way. Didn't you
see that sign in the window? 1t tells
you plainly no help of any kind is wanted
here. Who sent you?
One Man Wanted, Not Fifty.
The man explained that the employment
agent had done SO.
We'll, somebody ought to smash that
scoundrel," declared the lawyer. II ap-
piled to him six months ago to send me
a laborer. / got man the next day, and
that agent has sent fifty o. hers here since
that, knowing that my needs were sup
Piled, and he has deliberately cheated
every one of them"
These are a few samples OF the many
that have reached the police.
Among those who claim TO have been
swindled are men and women OF all ages,
and condition.

three years ago. Among the most note

more than eight feet In height, and their

Vase From German Emperor.
There is another vase well worthy to
be mentioned. II is the one awarded by
the Emperor of Germany to this country
as first prize at the Berlin Fishery Ex-
position in 1880. 1t is made of silver. gold,
and glass, studded with jewels. and is of
exquisite design and workmanship.
Everybody knows Old Hickory's' sar-
cophagus on the outside of the National
Museum. The people of Syria. in their
admiration of the sterling qualities of
President Jackson, presented it to him.
He did not seem to appreciate the gift.
however, as he swore he would not be
buried in that stone trough
From King of Siam.
Uncle Sam has received from the En-
peror of Morocco a number of handsome
guns; stocks inlaid with gold, silver, and
coral. The King of Siam also has been
generous in his gifts to this nation, hav-
ing presented valuable collection of
articles peculiar to his country cos
tunes, coins. weapons, elephant trap
pings. baskets. etc.
I'VE have also a number of swords pre-
sented to us by foreign Governments. as
well as medals. The Sultan of Turkey
sent lis a medal in cOmmemOratiOn of the
4O0th anniversary. of the discovery OF
America. 1t is an exquisite cameo in a
case of gold, studded with diamonds.

An enquiry that promises to result in
the reuniting of two sisters, each of whom

at Elkton, Md, who suddenly disappeared
six years ago. since which time she had
not heard anything from her.
Mrs. Reynolds was notified of the find
