but purely decorative effects that compel
the attention of the passer by. The New

upon for the latest novelties, as we'll as

SUNDAYS STORM. The ong-delayed and
daily expected snow storm made its ap-
pearance Sunday, although according to
the weather reports the day should have
been ''fair and warmer" Dec. 10th eleven
inches of snow fell in Baltimore and one of
the Sunday papers of that city reported
drifts i've and six feet deep" which seems
incredible. Incoming vessels were, iced up
and Snow-covered, a condition which up to
this time has not prevailed on this coast.
4 day or two later Connecticut experienced
a blizzard, with a snow fall sufficient to
block the trolley roads and break down
telephone and telegraph wires. New York
and Boston had their share also of stormy
weather but for the week ending last Sat
| urday night the weather here Was excep-
tionally fine for the season. Although the
vane on the nitarian church pointed stead
/ lily every day to the northeast, sunshine and
moonlight alternated. and the skies were
seldom ciouded and then only for a short
time. There were. however, premontions
of storm, and no one would have been
, surprised any morning at finding the ground
covered with snow This would have been
welcomed as affo. ding good travelling for
! Christmas shoppers, although rain is more
needed. While the drouth here is not so
| severe as in the western section OF the State
the ponds and streams are unusually low,
and it is hoped they may be filled before
Jack Frost seals them up for the winter,
Sundays storm was not OF long duration.
At noon the SHOW had ceased falling and
the sun, looking like a boiled gooSeberry,
emerged from the leaden clouds, Not
enough snow fell to make sleighing and

cleared, and before it was time to light up
