AT BLIZZARD CAMP.
BY FRANK E. swEEr.

| v 0AN0 x&s 0 W 634s | Copyright, 1904, by Daily Story Pub. Col CTS gathered about the dingy counter at Bilger's the one store in the camp It was chritmas eve, and they wanted something | extra for their dinner on the morrow just to keep them in mind of the day, they said. But there was little novelty in the forlorn remnant of cans upon the shelves, or in the half-empty barrels and boxes under the counter and massed in the corners of the room. One man found stray box of sardines. and took possess sion of 1t with the remark that, while 1t was not "Christmas," he could have the satisfaction of knowing he was eat- Ing the only sardines in the camp; an- other drew out a can of Boston baked beans" from behind a squadron of toma- toes; while Q third, of Q more investiga- ting and determined turn of mind, hunt ed among the boxes and barrels until he actually discovered can of Cape Cod cranberries.
 This brought the entire group of Christmas hunters into compact, en- wing circle; and while they were anx- iously debating the pro and con-espe- cially the proof a division of the spells shouldered. watery-eyed man entered. Have you got any-toys?" he asked. hesitatingly.
 The storekeeper stared: and unanimous | ly,, as though by preconcerted arrange ment, the group around the canned rep resentatives from Cape Cod turned and stared also.
 Any what?' the storekeeper asked. blankly. .sspsTT
 Toys" the man repeated, looking at the encircling faces withsabashed embar- rassment-"things t. play with, I. mean, | like the children<P have at Christmas
 You see." witbfa curious mingiing of apology and pz9de in his voice, my little ten-year old boy came in on the stage just noYfAclean from his grandma's back in Missouri. I've been sendin' for him these two year, but couldn't seem to get 1t Etln struck a vein last month" He lurchA ed heavily against the counter, and his watery eyes began to i'll, partly through his condition and partly from some long dormant tenderness which was beginning to reawaken. "The boys consider bic childish" he went on, rousing himself a little at the consciousness of being listen ed to by men who usually passed him without recognition, ''an' sets store on things to play with. So bein' it's Christ mas, an jest comin', why, thougE mebbe I'd better hunt some toys" of course," cried Dobson, the sherifI, heartily: and of "of course" ''pf course.

 And then they looked about the store
 inqulringly. in search of something that
 would please ten-year old boy who was
 childish. But there was little they saw;
 only huge miners boots, pyramids oi picks and shovels and blankets, barrels
 of flour and beans and pork: and on the
 shelves tobacco and canned goods and a
 small assortment of earthen and tin
 ware and then, at the far end of the
 store, a bar for the accommodation oi those who were thirsty.
 There was no dry and fancy goods and
 notions upon the shelves, no show cases upon the counter. no display in the one
 dingy window. Such things would begin
 to make their appearance only with the coming of the hrsa woman, and that was

and place their reliance for Party success at the next presidential election upon the hope that the Democrats may nominate a candidate In whom the conservative in terests of the country will feel no great CT confidence than In MT. Roosevelt. The principal concern of the leaders of the Party in the matter of their own organization is to secure the services of some man as chairman of the Republican National Committee who will inspire confidence, but, as one very prominent Republican remarked recently it is diff cult to find a man capable of conduct ing campaign so as to inspire confi- dence who would be willing to tolerate the eccentricities of the President" What the Republican partisans chiefly rely upon is the possibility of the Demo- crats making a serious mistake in their nomination. They are ready to give any encouragement or assistance they can to advance the candidacy of MT. William R. Hearst, Mir Tom Johnson or any man of that type who may aspire to the Dem- ocratic nomination It Is apprehended by many of the Eastern Democrats that MT. Hearst will be assisted in his canvass for the nomination to the full extent of Republican influence, and that as the time for the Democratic Convention ap- breaches the Republican press of the country will show great consideration for his candidacy.
 To Gain Public Confidence.
 Conservative Democratic leaders feel that this is a thing to be apprehended and guarded against, and in proportion to the certainty of their convictions that the death of Senator Hanna has removed the principal tie between the Adminis- tration and the conservative element of the Republican Party, they feel 1t to be important that the Democratic Party should place Itself in a position to avoid extremes and to avail itself of the lack of confidence which MT Roosevelt's ad- minstration aspires by nominating as his opponent a candidate in whose free dom from the faults of MT. Roosevelt the public will have entire confidence. The best informed Democrats of New York and the East do not believe that they can turn to MT. Cleveland, though many of them regard him as most con spicuously the man to emphasize the issues upon which the campaign against Mir. Roosevelt must be made, for they are satisfied that he is not and will not be a candidate. The interpretation put by them upon Mir. Cleveland's recent utterances with reference to the selection of candidate Is that he has someone. not himself, in view as the type of man who should be nominated and they think that MT. Cleveland will have great in- fiuence in the convention.

this element is that in making the selec- ton of candidate they should go as far as possible in the direction of secur- ing the support of what is known as the
 Bryan element, but must not lose sight ol the importance of nominating someone whom Mir Cleveland, by the open avowal of his support after nomination, will in way stand sponsor for tV the public. It is felt to be of the utmost importance to hold the Democratic vote of 1896 and 1900, but at the same time Mir. Cieve- lands indorsement in the campaign is regarded as essential to insure the conf dence of the business community. MT. Cleveland is expected to be to the Demo- cratic nominee what the Republicans looked to MT. Hanna for in influencing the independent element of the great business enterprises of the country.

Demurrers to the complaint in the ac- tion in equity of William A. Chapman & Co. vs. The Montgomery Water Power Co. were sustained by Judge Thomas c. Jones of the United States District Court yesterday.
 It will be remembered that on law suit on the mechanics lien of Chapman & Co.,, the plaintiff secured a judgment for over $6O,000 against the Water Power Com pany.
 The action yesterday was an action in equity to determine on whom the blame rested when the Tallassee dam was washed away during the course of con- struction.

EARTHQUAKE PROPHET.
Predicted Two shocks Correctly and
Caused General Terror.


Prof. Rudolph Falb of Vienna is
dead. He had a remarkable career.
He earned an enviable reputation in
the scientific world as meteorologist.
He wrote on this subject with learn.
Ing, care and authority. In his later
years, however, he was largely dis
credited among scientific men because
he became possessed Of the idea that
he could foretell the occurrence Of
earthquakes. Some of his guesses hit
the mark, which only added to the
suffering he caused by erroneous pre-.
dictions.
In 1903 he predicted that the Island
Of Zante. of the west coast of Greece.
was about to be shaken by n severe
earthquake. The prediction came true.
and SO did his prophecy Of an earth
quake on the mainland Of Greece In
1904.
1t was natural. therefore, that when
he said Athens would be terribly sbak.
en- on the approaching May the peo-
pie Of that city should be thrown into
great CONSERVATION. The Sun told long

the city. many taking refuge on ships
at the Piraeus.
Nobody slept in Athens the night be
fore the predicted earthquake. and
thousands spent the hours of darkness
In open places around the city. May
was beautiful day, and there was
nothing to mar 1t except the distress
and discomfort caused by the earth
Qnake prophet.
In the following year Falb predicted
an earthquake for certain day ir
Chill, and the people Of Santiago were
thrown into great excitement Every
railroad car that could be mustered
into service was busy for day or two
carrying refugees away from the city
There was no earthquake. but the
misery and loss inflicted by Falb's pre-.
diction were considerable.
Very little had been heard of ralh
since that time. Ills seems TO have
been case Of scientific man gone
wrong. After the fever of earthquake
prophecy seized him he never added
anything to the work that had given
him q respectable standing. -New
