Albany, N. Y. November 14.-Wet snow that fell today broke down every tele- phone and telegraph wire in this city and vicinity. At 10 o'clock last night more than half the city was in darkness from interrupted light circuits. The fire alarm service was so crippled that special pre- cautions were taken by the police to give warning in case of fire. The snow was not over four inches deep, but so heavy that trolley traffic was greatly 'hampered and trains entering the city averaged an hour late.

All rumors and reports regarding the possible success Of the direct overtures for peace which Ja- pan Is said 10 have made to Russia and regarding the mediation of the powers. in my opinion are started for the pur- pose of convincing the public that tho end of the war Is close at hand Tn this way 1t is hoped that the public may De led to understood that Japanese loans ot- ' fer attractive Investments.

 The Albert Taylor Stock Company will begin a two weeks engagement at the Pickett Springs Casino on next Monday night. 23rd inst, presenting as an opening play, Mir. Sol Smith Rus sells great success, Peaceful Valley The Houston (Tex.) Daily Chronicle of Sept. g., said:
 At two performances yesterday Sweeney & Coombs' Opera House was crowded to capacity for the offerings by the Albert Taylor Company. Peaceful Valley" was presented at matinee. At the evening performance Because He Loved Her So,' was wit messed by an overflow audience. Peo- pie occupied seats in the windows, in the aisles and in other available and unusual places. Those who could not be seated leaned against the plush railings and witnessed the perform ance. The bill is a society drama, tell ing the old story of woman's trust and mans deception, with a genuine vil- lain who reaps richly the reward of sin in the climax. Albert Taylor ap- peared as Hosea Howe Mir. Taylor Is one of the most versatile and at the same time one of the most forceful thespians in the business. It has for years been a mystery to his friends why he sticks to repertoire when his would easily put him in the front rank of stars.

A REMARKABLE
APPLIED BY \ TEACHER IN 1
 LEADiaG UNIVERSITY.
Demonstrates the Power of pr. wu- Hams Pink Pills to Restore
 Shattered Nerves.

| Mrs. Leander Lane, wife of the minis ter of the Christian Church, of No. 2O1O I Street, South Omaha, Neb, tells how I her daughter has been enabled to re- sume her professional work as a teach CT after suffering for nearly three years from severe nervous prostration:
 When she was passing from girl hood to womanhod." says Mrs. Lane. ''she suffered greatly from difficulties peculiar to her sex. The physician did not help her. but few boxes of Dr. Williams Pink Pills brought about tho perfect regulation of her system. While she had escaped from one grave trouble. she unfortunately began to overwork. first as a student and then as teacher in large Iowa institution for orphan boys. She enjoyed her work and was very enthusiastic, but the strain finally told on her. She became pale, weak. nervous, unable to sleep: she had no appetite and she suffered from severe headaches. Then came a complete breakdown and her work had to be given up.
 '-rhe confidence which Dr. Williams Pink Pills had already inspired in us led us to try them again in this emer. gency. Improvement came at first slowly, and we sometimes doubted whether she was gaining, but we mo- ticed that whenever she stopped taking the pills she fell back, and whenever she resumed the use of them she re- vived and so we kept up the treatment until she recovered her usual health and was able to take a position in one of our universities where she is hap oily at work. My mother, my daugh- ter and myself have a well-founded confidence in the merits of pr. Will Hams Pink Pills and are always ready to recommend them"
 This is simply one more proof that these pills ueek disease at its source and effect fundamental cures in all dis eases having a common origin in i'm paired blood or nerves. They, arrest physical decay when it seems inev- itable and find a road to restoration when the doctor misses it. They are sold by all druggists throughout the world.

 Upon these considerations, I feel an insurmountable reluctance to enter into the inevitable scramble for judicial of1ec, success would not compensate me.
