AMERICAN FALL. DRY.
Ice Jam In the Niagara River Brings About
an Extraordinary Condition.

Niagara Falls. n. Y. March 23.-The
American fall is practically dry, and for
the first time m % years people are Hbfe
to walk about In the river bed.
Thousands have clambered over the
rocks hunting for relics and souvenirs.
Great rocks never before seen are high
and dry. So little water is flowing over
the American fall that men i'm high boots
almost could have crossed at the brink.
The extraordinary condition is due TO
an ice jam which formed in the shallow
places up the river. The ice was driven
from Lake Erie into the entrance TO the
Niagara, and lodged I'm the shoal water.

channel.
The Horseshoe fall Is not affected IA

In the vicinity OF the Three Sister Islands
Is quite dry. and the centre fall, between
Goat and Luna Islands, is n skeleton of

Ashley Heights is settled exclusively

all anarchists. They repeatedly tried TO
get him to join their group, but he re-
fused, and then a long course OF perse-
cution ensued. Casanova owned his house
In Ashley Heights and could not move
away, so he suffered the persecution for
a long time.
There is only one grocer in the little
colony and one milk man, neither OF
whom Is an Italian. These dealers were
presented with a paper Signed by % resi-.
dents threatening that. IL they continued
to serve Casanova the signers would
withdraw their trade.

situation to Casanova xand showed him
