NEW HAVEN. Jan. 25.-More than 100
Yale Prom girls were held up in this city
tonight on account OF the blizzard and
made their headquarters al the New Haven

The Western Union wires stood the storm
in pretty good shape Trouble was re-
ported south Of Washington; but that was
not serious, as no city was absolutely out
of communication with this city. The
brokers' through wires to Chicago worked
through the business day without Interrupt
ton.
The New York Telephone Company had
its troubles not because the storm put its
equipment out Of business, but because Of
the rush 1t was estimated by an official
OF the COMPANY that the number of calls
received in the afternoon and early evening
was about 80 per cent, more than on a
normally busy day and as a result the
wires became badly congested.

men of this town were calling their homes

would get home" said General Manager
H. f. Thurber -All this extra calling has
congested the wires until the force has been
worked to its utmost. The wires are all

service are with outlying places in New

These are the inevitable tangible re-

BILLS LAST STAND

The Hon. W. F. Cody, sometime

tons of young Americans, is being
shorn of the garment of romance that
has clothed him. The shearing process
is being performed by lawyers, in
spired by the wife of his bosom-who,
by the way. has not shared any of, the
honors of literature or the stage with
the colonel. Mrs. Cody, who has not
been known as a heroine even by mar
riage, manifests an inclination to re-
move the halo that has set upon the
sombrero of Buffalo Bill and which
has been plainly visible to the all
seeing eye of the small boy these many
years. Mrs. Cody gives il out that
Bill is not a hero. This evidence we
decline to accept as conclusive. All

that heroes have been held in little re-
gard by the ladies to whom it was
given TO share their porridge and keep
their laurels on straight One Sam

To the Editor OF The Globe:
In a recent issue of 7 he G / b e
article in the February Suggestion
discusses Christian science theories
and the author asserts that all heal
ing is the result of natural law
of suggestion operating through the
subjective faculties" VIII you kindly
pleased to note that the author of the
above paragraph states that the healing
done in Christian science is not based on
suggestion. or human will power. We
agree that Christian science and SuggeS-
ton can in no possible way be connected,
because the cures in Christian science are
produced by the power OF God alone. IL
cannot, therefore. be said that all healing
is the result of natural law of suggestion.
The efficacy of Christian science as cure
is constantly being attested ali over the
world. In the last two years in the group
of six Texas cities. namely. Galveston,
Fort Worth. Dallas, Austin, San Antonio
and Houston. five hundred and twenty
three thousand four hundred and ten
(523 400 people have been treated in
Christian science. of which ninety (90)
per cent have acknowledged they were
healed or permanently benefited. Out of
the above number seventy (7O) per cent

which they had previously applied. Out
of this large number and during the time
specified only thirteen Q3) have died

UNCONSCIOUS GENERATION SPOTS
BUFFALO BILLS HALO

Editorial st. Paul Daily News, March 3.
Buffalo Bills halo, which has dazzled
the minds of the youth of two genera
tons, has suddenly lost its glory. For
nearly half century Buffalo Bill has
held large share of public attention
as scout, legislator, Snowman and hero
in general.
And now Mrs. Cody. the wife of his
bosom, gives it out that Bill is no hero
at all. never has been and hasn't got
it in him to be one.
OF course this evidence is not con-
elusive. No man is required to be a
hero in the eyes of his wife. All men
are heroes in the eyes of their sweet
hearts, but few maintain the character
long after marriage.
History has often repeated itself in
this matter. There was Samson, who
was not so greatly esteemed by his De-
lilah as by others who were not in
the secret of his avoidance of the bar
Der. In shearing him of his power and
glory she set a conspicuous example
that many other women have since
followed.
Socrates, in spite of the esteem in
which he has been held by the whole
world. seems not to have made much
of an Impression upon his wife.
Though she has been remembered
through the ages only by his reflected
glory, she never could see that he was
anything more than her husband, and
a poor one at that.
Thomas Carlyle's wife is said to
have remarked to the effect that
genius might be of value to the world
at large, but was very unpleasant at
home.
These great men and many more too
numerous TO specify did not imposes
or beguile the women who enjoyed
their fullest intimacy and confidence.
