This winter puts me in mind of
the winter of the blue snow in Wis
consin," said Aid. Chas. Ray yes
terday. 1T came on suddenly just
as it did this year. The snow fell
softly and gently taking the blue
out of the sky with it until the
whole earth was covered with blue
snow. We were working in
logging camp then. 1t was a large
camp, so big the pancake gridle was
half mile long. We used to tie
a side of bacon to each one of the
cookee's feet and let him skate back
and forth to grease the griddle. The
batter was mixed in a mortar mixer
and sent to us frozen and baled.
That was a great winter. The
face of nature froze and peeled
off. The finger of time was so
numbed with cold that it couldn't
point with pride. 1t froze the toe
nails off the loot of the hill, and
paralyzed the arms of morpheus.
Timber split with the frost that
winter. A teamster was sitting on
log drawing it to the river, when
1t exploded with the cold, Catching
a part of his sheepskin clothes as
the crack in the log closed again.
The log was fortunately hollow
and he had noticed as he loaded it
that the pitch had hardened as it
ran down the center of the tree, so
he lit a match and tied it to his
whip cracker and swung over,
setting the Pitch on fire. The move
ment of the team gave it good
draft and the poor man thawed
himself loose before he got to the
landing place. How fortunate that
it was hollow log"

The talented young star, Miss
Margaret Ralph, has shown most
marked dramatic temperament and
it is predicted by those who have
watched her steady progress that
she will hold first rank among
American actresses, for besides her
youth and beauty she possesses
voice of remarkable resonance and
range capable of expressing every
variety of feeling. AS the role of
Katherine in The Tanning of the
Shrew" demands forceful, powerful
expression she has found it especial
ly suited to her and carries the
great scenes of defiance and rage in
a capital style. Indeed she is a
perfect realization of the part as
Shakespeare drew it. Miss Ralph
is close student and her work in
this part has not been accomplished
without months of preparation.
She plays Katherine in the same
hearty manner s Ada Rehan with
the advantage of youth and beauty,
consequently the fascinating quail
ties of the famous role are brought
brilliantly to light in the hands of
such an artist.

Gigantic Task Of Removal Into New

The gigantic, though delicate, task Of
moving the Chicago post Office into the new
quarters in the recently completed $4,000, 600
federal building, without delaying or dis
turbing the handling Of approximately
100000 pieces of light mail and 200 tons of
bulkier matter which the Office handles
daily, was completed Saturday. Postmaster

merable details, that the intricate work of

proceeded without a moments delay.
Without a hitch the removal of some d.
visions, such as the stamp department. the
registry and inquiry divisions, was accom-
plished by the simple expedient of dividing
the office forces of these divisions, the force
in the new building taking up the work
promptly when the clerks in the old build

sisted of one man, but he owned the first
private box in that post Office having him
self constructed the box out Of a boot
leg and numbered the box 49, that he
might impress his eastern friends with the
idea that the hamlet was progressive.
When Congress supplied the lonely post
master with clerk Mr.. Jones, in elation,

these reasons Mr.. Jones was singled out by
Mr.. Coyne for the only formal invitation
issued in connection with the occupying OF
the new quarters AS the post office force
now numbers nearly 5000 people, however,
Mr. Coyne excused Mr.. Jones from repeat
ing the act of hospitality of many years

ECONOMY IN PRINTING.
Resumption of Session by the Lands
Commission.

The consolidation Of Senate and House
document and folding rooms was discussed
by the Lands subcommittee on printing re-
form at its session at the Capitol yesterday
The proposition was urged on the ground
that, to a large extent 1t would prove re-
medal of the present conditions. The con-
solidated rooms should be located in The
government printing office.
Capt. Thomas H. Mckee, journal clerk of
the House, was the first witness at yester-
days session. Mr.. Mckee thought there
were many government documents which 1t
was a waste of time and money to publish
Among these were the annual report of the
clerk Of the House and annual inventory
Of House property.
Mr.. Thomas B. Penicks, assistant fore
man Of the government printing Office
bIndery. said he didn't know of any or
ganization which had as its object the
booming of the bindery
Mr.. William M. Ramsay foreman of the
specification division of the government
printing Office, said that some regulation
should be put into effect compelling patent
attorneys to be more careful with the copy
turned in for publication in the Patent Of
fee Gazette.
Mr.. w. A. Smith, clerk In charge of the
Congressional Record, testified that the
average daily issue Of the Record during
session is $1,000 copies.

to a national revolution. in the opinion Of
Topographic Union No. 16. which. at
meeting in Chicago Sunday, passed resolu-
tlons denouncing the liberal use Of court
writs in labor troubles.
1t was announced also that officials of
TIE union had sought legal advice regard
ing the filing of a bill for injunction to
restrain firms connected with the Chicago
Typothetea from conspiring to injure the
credit Of the International Typographical
Union and local union No. 10.
The resolutions set forth that recent
tyrannical decisions against labor organiza-
tionse are criminal attempts to Illustrate
our laudable purposes and place wage
earners in hopeless slavery" They also
declare restraining orders simply should be
a warning against unlawful acts and should
not make criminal any acts which other
wise would be lawful.
The preamble of the resolutions declared
reduction of hours is the only sane
method of preventing over-production and
of providing work for the unemployed, and
calls attention to warnings of coming de-
preston and financial difficulty. 1t is de-
cIared that peaceful and persuasive
methods are the only ones understood by
labor unions.

Alaska Murder Revealed.

dispatch from Skagway says: 1t Is be-
lieved James Murray. otherwise known as
Moreira, murdered his partner, James Fisk,
last March, at Halibut bay, near Seldovia,
while insane. The skeleton Of Fisk was
found recently by natives, with rifle ball
in the back. 1t was identified by clothing
and letters found on the body.
In the cabin twenty steps away were
found a blood-rusted razor and a knife,
and there were blood stains on the furni-
ture. Murray is supposed to have COM

cabin Murray says he had but Il few hours
to live. Then follows incoherent religious
and socialistic utterances. Another, to an
unnamed brother, says:
II have agreed that Fisk should kill me
today at o'clock, and he is to be killed
after me by my agency. All this is for
wrongs in our past lives and for the sake
Of humanity. We have agreed to wipe out
all scores OF the past in a sane and friendly
way, SO that in doing this we forgive one

Death of a Famous Character.

Rev. D. H. Fisher, who died Sunday at
Baldwin, Kans., was one or the most fa-
nous characters produced by the trying
days OF the border warfare In Kansas
and the subsequent four years OF civil war.
Because of his activity as a free state man
and his association with United States
Senator Jim" Lane, the Rev. Fisher was
marked by the Quantrell band and his
escape from capture and death during the
Lawrence massacre is one of the most thrill
ling and remarkable incidents of that af-
fair
DR.. Fisher was one fthe few men who
ever refused a United States senatorship.
When Senator Lane died, Gov. Crawford
announced his intention of appointing Dr.
Fisher to fill the vacancy. Later the Rev.
Mr.. Fisher said. in rela ing his reasons for
refusing the offer: My wife and l laid
the matter before God In prayer. The de-
cision was against accepting the appoint
E1ent."

Totals .....-......... S53, ,464 500 ST, ,os2. 100
Our export trade to Cuba however, is
growing very rapidly. The total exports of
merchandise from the United States to
Cuba have increased from S2o.O13,730 dur
ing the first eight months of 1904 to ST.
S71 ,405 for the same period in 1905 The
increase is shown in -four, corn, coal, cot
ton fabrics. boots and shoes petroleum,
bacon pork, lard, lumber, machinery or
every kind carriages. furniture, paper ana
stationery, agricultural implements, naval
stores and almost every other item on the
long list The largest article of import
from Great Britain into Cuba is cotton
goods. and. notwithstanding the fact that
the treaty gives our manufacturers an ad-
vantage of 80 and 40 per cent in duties
over the cotton mills of England, the lat
ter continue to almost monopolize the mar
ket. This seems strange. when the mills
of the southern states produce precisely the
goods that are wanted in Cuba, and their
steamers are running almost daily from
our gulf ports. Our exports of cotton goods
to Cuba last year were valued at S6SS, S,SiS,
which was gratifying increase from $780,
92S in 1904. Nevertheless. Great Britain
sends over between four and five million
dollars worth every year and furnishes 60
per cent OF all the cotton goods used in
Cuba Spain furnishes nearly 20 per cent
and the United States only 10 per cent, not
withstandfng our advantages in the custom
houses.
The commercial treaty now pending with
Great Britain, awaiting ratification by the
Cuban senate will give the cotton mills or
England the benefit of a reduction of 80
and 40 per cent in the regular duties on
cotton goods; which. of course, VIII be a
great advantage to them.

ing button, button. who got the button"
and they usually declare that It can be
found in the pockets Of Mr.. Havemeyer
and his associates Of the sugar trust. They
are in the habit of insisting that neither
the people OF the United States nor the
planters of Cuba have derived any benefit
from the reduction OF duties. Their con-
tention is not sustained by the facts. No
one familiar with economic conditions in
Cuba will deny that the sugar industry
has improved with extraordinary rapidity
since the ratification OF the treaty with
the United States. The financial prosper
fly OF the sugar planters was never SO

years when the Blaine treaty was in force
The crop then reached it's maximum
