A SLEEK THIEF.
Secures a Valuable Seal Skin in Novel
Manner.

Des Moines, Nov. ia well
dressed man of middle age asked to
see cloaks at Harris-Emery's yester-
day. He said his wife was i'll at the
Slavery and could not come over and
he wished a saleswoman to go out
with him with $3.50 seal which he
picked out to show his wife. This
was agreed to and the man and Miss
Mary Hasty and the cloak went to the
hotel, from whence the man took them
to the Sabin house, claiming he had
made a mistake in the name of the
hotel, not being familiar with Des
Moines. At the Sabin he took the
saleswoman and the cloak into the
parlor, picked up the cloak with the
remark that he would show 1t to his
wife, stepped into the hall and ran
out of the front door and disappeared.
The police are looking for him.

there until you are clean" On Mon
day the child was just as dirty as
ever. You did not do as | told you," "
was the teachers greeting. II did"
said the youngster. Il sat down in
the boiler long time, and they wasn't
any water in it neither" Now what
use to give your dollar or clothing to
the mother of such child? Are you
not doing greater charity to help pay
a woman to go and see that the boiler
is filed with water and the child put
to soak? Would you have the pa
thence, my reader, to teach that wo-
Their how to live and work, how to
care for her family? Some one ought
to do it. 1t is easy to give Of our sub
stance, but, as in this case, something
more is necessary. Those who criti-
else the Charity Organization do not
understand the faithful work done
that can not be published, but is fully
reported at the monthly meetings.
Many a man and woman struggling
under some burden of misfortune, will
accept aid from the Charity Organiza-
ton when they would rather die than
ask aims of the county or church.
And is not your dollar doing great
work in aiding one such case, making
nobler one life than in handing out
carelessly to the cringing pauper at
your door?

AND SNOW.
TBr TELEGRAPH To THE rH1suxE.I

New-Haven Conn. Feb. 1T-An old fashioned
blizzard has been going all day long. and to-
night the snow is still falling. threatening com
pletey to tie the electric lines OF the city and
all transportation The storm is the worst that
Connecticut has experienced since the November
blizzard of 1885 and in many ways it resembles the
severest snowstorm ever known here. the famous
blizzard OF 1855
The storm began with heavy northeast gales early
this morning, and by noon 1t was a binding
mixture Of high winds png snowdrifts and heavy
continuius snOwfalls. Up to noon five inches had
fallen on the level, and by this evening this had
increased TO nine inches. In many downtown sec
tions the drifts have piled up to six feet high
making walking impossible.
The severity of the storm here crippled the cleo
r1c car lines early in the day completely shutting
off some of the outlying suburbs this afternoon
and delaying traffic in the centre of the city. Snow
ploughs were sent out early and kept the lines
in the business section open most Of the day. This
evening the drifts Of snow on the tracks kept
gangs of men working till midnight. This noon
it took the station hour to run the eight
blocks 70 the centre of the city.
Business practically suspended here all days
and several of the stores closed at noon. Ths
schools were closed.
The Consolidated road suffered heavily owing N
the severe drifts in the cuts the smaller a.
visions. There were no stalled trains reported but
all OF the steam rotary plOughs were out and u,anv
trains had two and even three locomotives ssra
cialy on the up-country divisions. All dav Ior~
the Consolidated road ran from twenty minutes -
Two hours behind time. The new interlocking sys-
tenn on the road was made useless by the storm,
and consequently the delays were most serious on
the New-York division. The railroad was tonight
preparing for the worst time since the blizzard OF
1855 -
