PREDICTS A STORM

Horace Johnson, the Haddam seer. writes The Post as follows: About the 18th of March there will be a very great disturbance which will continue for many days. During this period the ice will move and navigation of the Connecticut can then be resumed. A great flood cannot be averted and prop erty along the valley should be made secure as possible. Such disturbance is often of long duration. A northeast wave will sweep the ocean, probably from continent to continent. The docks along the river will be piled with ice The public will be able to understand that the narrows below Middletown are great barrier to the flow of surplus water and ice which must pass out of the valley of the Connecticut. I hope and trust the time is at hand when the people will be convinced of the neees- sity for widening the flow of the river at Bodkin rock"

 ''The nerve of newspaper man ire
 quently keeps them from serious trouble, as well as getting them into lit" remarked Representative Livings- ton, of Georgia, while talking to a group of friends in the cloak room. "As a
 whole. they are generally a pretty
 clever lot, and prepared for and emer-
 gency, and I suppose that they make
 about as few mistakes as the average
 run of men.
 T shall never forget an incident which happened several years ago in Atlanta. and I laugh now every time I think of it. A dashing young woman
 came to Atlanta and engaged the swell lest suite of rooms at the Kimball, and shen sported diamonds as large as wal nuts, and drove four-in-hand. It was given out that the young beauty was
 Miss So-and So, the cattle queen of the West, and that she had money enough
 to burn up a stock yard of wet cows. Ed Bruffey, of the Constitution, had
 an idea had the wires hot with messages
 making inquiries about her. the result being that he got corking good story to the effect that the woman was the rankest kind of humbug Bruff printed the story next morning and 1t caused a 1 genuine sensation, but the woman never lost her grip, driving out that afternoon with her four-in-hand.
 Hate that night Bruff, was in. the lob by of the Kimball talking to Ed Gallo
 way, the night clerk, when the cattle
 queen swished down the steps, and
 walking up to Bruff, asked if he was re- sponible for the story in the Constitu- ton.
 I have that honor was his reply.
 Then. sir, I am going to kill you,
 almost yelled the woman. as she drew a gun from the folds of her dress. "This didn't alarm the little news
 paper man in the least but lifting his
 hat, he quietly remarked:
 :" Fire away, madam; had rather be killed by a pretty woman any day than ] to die a natural death'
 "Bruff won out, for the woman laughed and retreated up stairs..- Washington Times.

 solved itself into committee of supply to discuss the vote for Irish education which had already been debated. Pro- found peace reigned, and there was not
 a sign of the coming storm except to the few initiated, who keenly watch ed the whispered conference taking place between the Irish whips. John
 Redmond made a complaint about the prohibition of Gaelic in the schools, but instead of a long speech, which it
 would seem he had prepared, judging by the volume of notes in his hand, the Irish leader said only few words. MT. Wyndham replied with equal brew ity, and it was evident he was saving himself for string of protests from other Irish members.
 No one rose to reply to MT. Wynd- ham, the Irish party for once utiliz- ing silence as the deadliest weapon. MT. Redmond had said there were to be
 no speeches, and though the rank and file of thenationalists did not know the
 reason, not having been admitted to thesecret plan; set on foot the previous evening by their leader and their chief whip, they obeyed implicitly. Disci- pline triumphed, and not one word came from the Irish benches. The lib erals, too, sat silent, though they were ignorant of the projected coup and without reply division was inev- itable. Only then did Mr. Wyndham and the government whips realize how deliberately they had been outwitted. AT. t John Redmond and Sir Thomas Es- monde had planned the division for 3 o'clock. and the bells therefore changed out through the house at 2:55. In des- peration the government whips sent messengers in cabs and with telegrams and to the telephones, but without avail for when the tellers of the vote returned
 the clerk os the house handed Sir Thomas Esmonde the coveted little slip of paper which is given to the winning
 side
 In a second the members who had crowded in realized that the government had been beaten and then there arose such aa cheer as Westminster has not
 heard for many day. The Irish and liberal members oiaif1bere upon the 1SnSiiCS dllu ySiiGu sstASIliSelVeS HOdrSe, and for nearly five minutes pandemo- nius reigned. Several times Sir. Thom- as Esmonde tried to read out the fig ures. but his voice was drowned in the uproar. MT Balfour who had been just in time to vote for the government, sat smiling grinnly. Finally there was com- parative quiet and Sir Thomas Es- monde read ''ayes 141, noes 13O" The government was defeated by Il votes.
