Democrattc State Comm1ttes,

ALBANY, N. Y, March 5.-Upon the casting os two votes in the Democratic state committee, which meets today in this city, depends the decision of rques- tions of the gravest moment to the De mocracy of the state and the entire na- ton. Judge Alton B. Parker's friends, headed by David B. Hill, seem to con- trol the situation by bare majority. They are absolutely confident that they will be able to hold their forces in line. The opponents of Judge Parker, head ed by Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, are fighting desperate ly to turn the scale. One question that will come before the state committee for decision is the time and place for holding the state convention that will name the state delegation to the nation al convention in St. Louis. Mir. Hill wants the convention held in this city
 on April 13. MT. Murphy wants the
 convention held in New York city on
 some date not specified. ,. |.

Frost Saved Town From Flood.

CLEARF1ELD, Pa, March ;. - A drop in the thermometer from 70 de- grees above to 20 above in i've hours yesterday afternoon saved this town from disastrous flood in the west branch of the Susquehanna river. The water has reached height of twelve feet six inches. The New York Gen. tral railroad freight and passenger agents have vacated their stations. All trains on that road are running via the river line on account of a bridge being washed away east of the Snowshoe. All the factories and brick works are flooded as well as all resi- dences on the west side of Front street. A blizzard is raging here.

vIxENlSH WOMEN OF CoREA
Ever Ready to Slap Handful of Stars >. Into Eyes of Husbands
 or Tourists.

The women of tho commonalty are voluble and vixenish, and ever ready to slap handful of stars into the eyes of a husband-or into those of timid and shrinking tourist--should the occasion arise, says Outing. The women of the upper class are vigorously excluded from masculine eyes and hearty vote of thanks is due the committee who fathered this unwritten law. The dainty little Japanese musmee, teetering along in sandals or on wooden geta, Is genu- inc relief to the eye after view of the uncomely Corean female, and it is a pleasing reflection that Nippon is slow ly but surely spreading her standard over the hermit realm.
 Until Corean boys are married and acquire the pseudo dignity of the top knot, their hair is worn girl fashion in twin plaits down their backs. So much do they resemble girls that it is some times difficult to determine the sex, and one is oftentimes uncommonly surprised to observe what he Is positive are two girls sprawling and viciously fighting in 8 Corean street.

DAMAGE BY FLOODS
Industrial Plants and Rail. roads Suffer by InundatioE.
SOLD WAVE HAS CHECKED THE WATER
Ehe Closed Factories Throw Thou sands of Men Out of Work-sus- Quehanna Three Feet Above
 the Danger Mark.

PITTSBURG, March 5.-The wave Df flood is now receding from the Pitts burg region. The crest reached here twenty-nine feet one inch in the Alle- gheny river at that point.
 The water is now slowly receding, aLd no further danger is apprehended, the cold wave having checked the rise.
 The damage done by the flood will probably not exceed $250,00O. .....
 Along Pine creek and in the Turtle creek valley especially the havoc was beyond any done in recent years. In the two cities it was not so great, but many industrial establishments along the two rivers were compelled to close down, and thousands of men were thrown out of work. The railroads of the districts suffered to an unusual ex. tent, and landslides added to the hand leaps imposed by the high water itself. The northern lines are still crippled, but the railroad officials expect to have all trains running as usual be- Gore nightfall a...... ......
 A Harrisburg Pa.) dispatch says the Susquehanna river is gorged for sev- eral miles below that city ana has reached height or several feet above the danger mark There is heavy flow of ice up the river which Is crowding down upon that city, and serious trouble all along the river is feared. The ice and high water have forsed many of the industries of liar. riSburg and Steelton to suspend op- < erations.
 A report from Wilkesbarre Pa. says the ice. in the Susquehanna river is breaking between there and Funk han nook, a distance of thirty miles, though it has not yet started to nov out. At noon the river measurement showed fourteen feet above low wa ter mark, and 1t is now sixteen feet above.
 At Highspire, Pa, the gorge extends clear across the river and is forty feet high. The water has reached a point within five feet of the Bodmer House, which is one of the highest points in That region. Cellars of dwellings are rapidly filling with water, and the greatest danger threatens many of the people

LINONlNE SAVED HER FROM THE
 AfTER.EFFECTS OF THE GRIP.

Mrs Lillian F. Pritchard, teacher of stenography and typewriting at the Stillman Business College, Danbury, Conn.,, writes under date of Feb. 2T, 1904: ... To the Editor of the Press:
 "A recent severe grip-cold left me with distressing cough and very hoarse. consulted my druggist about what to take for my ailment and he recommended Linonone, telling he that he had never known it to fail to cure throat troubles, and ward off af- ter effects of grip. One bottle gave me so much relief that before 1t was gone my hoarseness disappeared, my cough ceased entirely, and my health was fully restored. I am pleased to recommend Linonine for all throat and lung affections.

 Scores of people are suffering from burns and brok en limbs. The area from which reports of dam age by wind come covers 8 hundred miles square, and means of communi- cation over the district are meager. This difficulty Is increased by the fact that poles are burned and wires blown down. The little town of Francis. west of Mangum, has been totally destroyed by fire.

 NEW YORK, March 5--The Inter- national Mercantile agency from lead ing cities and towns throughout the United States and Canada has received reports indicating that the past week has been the most broken and irregular h general trade circles since the year began.
