putting all your money into q country you have never seen?" Continuing, MT. Thompson said: He said it was. I told him this incident: In one of the sparsely settled districts a man convic- ted of murder was called up before the judge for sentence. The judge angrily began by saying, John Smith, when ran for office in this district there were seven qualified voters here. Four were republicans and three were democrats. I was republican candidate and elect ed by majority of one. You have killed that majority, and it is the sen tence of the court'----
 Hold on, judge" said the culprit, T reckon we can fix that. If you will let me go I'll vote the republican ticket at the next election

encounter" said one of these cheerful
 men the other day, "It Is all right to
 wear a smiling face, to go through life
 making sunshine in shady places and all that; but, say, who is under con-
 tract to make sunshine for me, I'd like 1 to know? As fireside accomplishment
 a domestic grace, a cheerful manner
 may be highly desirable; but, as a commercial factor, let me tell you, it is a genuine, all around detriment and drawback, Now, look into the matter a minute. The cheerful man never gets any sympathy in any business disasters that befall him: his friends all say: Oh, Jacks all right. His lively temperament will pull him through; these joking fellows never suffer very much-their troubles are only skin deep. So the cheerful man has to bind up his own bruises and crawl back into prosperous times entirely by 1 his own efforts
 Then again, a man like me, born with lively sense of humor and ten- dency to take everything and every body funny end foremost, never wins the respect that he is entitled to. Mod esty laid aside for a moment I'm a big success in business; unaided I've built up a big establishment And I've nev- CT had any great losses, nor have I had to ask advice or help from other busi- ness men. Yet every human being that comes in contact with me, and every employe under my big roof treat me as if l were about ten years old, or at least only about one-third in my own right. l have to say everything at least three times before my clerks and other men believe I mean it. And employees who don't even earn what they are paid vol unteer advice to me on every business move I make. It's all because I'm so cheerful--that's what it is. I can't help being boyish and joking any more than l can help having red hair; but I'm bringing up my only son all right. He's soon coming into the firm with me; and if I ever see him crack a smile during business hours I'll kill him, ,"-Detroit Free Press.

 to this city. One or two of the regular freight trains that are made up in New Haven did not leave the yards last night
 The heavy winds on the Sound caused number of coasting vessels to put in this harbor for shelter. The wind blew gale all day on the harbor and the fleet of boats will remain inside the breakwater until it subsidies One schooner was seen, apparently in dis tress, late in the afternoon with only a small sail up. She was making for the mouth of the harbor and had lost her main too mast. She was a two masted craft and apparently had been on in the worst of the storm.
 No accidents were reported along the water front last night, so it is probable that the vessel seen reached the port safely.
 The storm also had it's effects on the schools of the city. There were no ses- sions of either the day or night schools and Superint endnt Beede said last night that he hardly knew whether there would be a session to-day or not.

 The high banks of snow that always accumulate on Church and Chapel streets were carted away yesterday by a big force. of men put there by Super intendent Coe. Instead of dumping the snow on the Green, it is being dumped on the lot near the depot.
 The storm had quite a telling effect on the days business at all of the large stores, which meant the loss of several thousands of dollars of trade. Monday Is usually the biggest day of the week at the dry goods establishments, but yesterday it was quite the reverse and will go down as one of the smallest, in point of business, for years. Hardly a customer was to be seen at any of the counters during the entire day and all of them closed up at an early hour in the afternoon. Hardly any Chapel street stores were open after o'clock, and some closed at o'clock.
 At midnight last night the wind had subsided and the snowfall had entirely ceased SO that the only indication which remained of the storm that had ragged all day and during the evening was the snow piled in the streets and covering the fronts of buildings where it had been blown by the wind and lodged.

RATIFIED BY THE SENATE

(Continued from First Page.) the United States would assume with reference to the St. Thomas Floating Dock company and the West India and Panama company. He said that it i would be necessary to pay a subsidy of $4 GOO a year on the telegraph franchise for three or four years, and that in each case there was an agreement to protect the charters for the time granted by Denmark. He also gave a detailed his tory of the St Croix Sugar company, explaining that the government of Den mark had assumed debts amounting to about S700000 for that concern, but that it had agreed to wind up the affairs of the company as soon as practice ble. thus relieving the United States of all complications on account of that com pany.
 Senator CaIlom explained that under the terms of the treaty the United States would take possession of the is- lands as soon as ratification could be exchanged, and he said that 1t would not be necessary to delay that act until the appropriation of money to pay for them could be made The harbor at St. nOlnaS lSlauu was ueSCllbeu Dy nm as one of the safest and best in the West Indies and the importance of it's possession from strategic point of view was enlarged upon by him. He said that the control of that harbor commands the military situation as far as necessary in Cuba, and that if we are to build a canal across the Isthmus of Panama the ownership of the har- Dor by the United States is essential because it would guard the approach to it.
 Senator Cul1om's motion to ratify then was adopted by a viva voce vote.

Winsted, Feb. 17.-Although the off cial figures of the snowfall are given at sixteen inches, this does not express the condition existing here, and espe- cially on country roads, In many places drifts reach as high as eight feet and all the country roads are com pletely blocked. Trains on both the Central New England and the New York, New Haven and Hartford are from two to three hours late The Tor rington and Winchester street railway is completely tied up and cars stopped running early in the evening.

NEW YORK GOT THE BRUNT OF
 IT

New York, Feb 17.--New York city has borne the brunt of the worst snow storm which has struck this section of the country since the great blizzard of 1888. Beginning soon after midnight the storm increased rapidly in intensity until by daybreak the whole city was showed under. The gale piled the snow in such drifts that for a time traffic was almost suspended.
 Suburban traffic and communication between Manhattan and Brooklyn was subject to long delays, the ferryboats with difficulty made trips across the ice choked rivers and the work of tughoats. lights and in fact of shipping generally. was almost at a standstill.
 Two steamers which arrived during the night struggled as far as quaran- tine, where they came to anchor A number of steamers are supposed to be off Sandy Hook waiting for the storm to abate before attempting to enter the port,

A STARTLING THEORY AS TO RIz-

A STARTLING THEORY AS TO R1Z-
 ZIO.
 If there be any truth in the latest dis covery reported from the Vatican libra ry the amending controversy about Mary, Queen of Scots will be provided with a very unexpected supply of fresh material. It is said that letters have been found in the Papal storehouse of historical documents which make it clear that Rizzio was not professional musician, but priest who had adopted disguise that he might say mass and otherwise minister in safety to the queen and her Roman Catholic attend ants. To believers in Mary's all round innocence of the charges against her it would obviously be of enormous advan- tage to have the Rizzio accusation dis proved. Some even of the least sympa- thetic of her critics have refused to ac- cept the suggestion that Rizzio was her lover; but it would be a distinctly new light to discover that, instead of a mu sician, or even a secretary for foreign correspondence, he was really ghostly ounsellor.-London Chronicle.

STORM THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
Freight Traffic Withdrawn from Nau-

 gatuck Road--The Snowfall
 Waterbury, Feb. 17.-Waterbury has heen partially stormbound since morn- ing by the blizzard. Local trolley traf- ffc has not been seriously impeded, al- though cars on all lines are running behind the schedule, particularly on the Oakville and Waterville routes. On the Naugatuck division of the Consolidated road Superintendent George w. Beach issued an order during the afternoon withdrawing all freight traffic until the storm is over. Fear of derailing freight trains at switches led to this order. The switches are clogged with snow. On account of imperfect action of the switches in the local yard the Nauea- tuck division there were two derail- ments here this afternoon. ''No more freight trains will be operated until the storm is cleared up,' said Superinten- dent Beach tonight. "We sent out a scrape to Winsted this afternoon, clear ed the road north of Waterbury, but at Torrington the down train whirled it's drivers for half an hour on a circuit of the slippery tracks before it was able to proceed. New York trains were one IldlI uOul lattt ul eill average w . I1H special trains from Bridgeport as near schedule time as possible
 On the Highland division here, similar state of affairs exists and freight operations have been suspended Passenger trains are running but all are considerably behind time
 In the country about Waterbury lies snow from ten to twenty-five inches deep on the level. The farmers say there will be considerable drifting along exposed highways on the hills. But if the storm abates the roadways will be quickly broken. Communication will not be interrupted,

 In former years many accidents have occurred through neglect or property owners clearing their sidewalks of snow, but this year every precaution will be taken and if the people wont have them cleaned, the city will.
