January Weather.

According to the meteorological rec
ord kept by W. D. Park, special OBJ
server at Donaldsonville for the gov,
ernment weather bureau, the maximum
temperature during January was Il
degrees, attained on the End and 18th
days of the month; the minimum was
IL degrees, recorded on the Goth. There
we're fifteen clear days, nine partly
cloudy and seven cloudy. The total
precipitation was 1929 inches, on eight
rainy days; the greatest precipitation
il tWenty-four hours reaching 1.83
inches on the 18th. Killing frosts were
noted on the 9th, 18th, 18th, 10th and
18th; heavy frosts on the 4th and 18th;
thin ice on the 9Th: thick ice on the
18th, 10th, 18th and 18th; heavy freezes
on the 10Th and 9th, and q thunder
storm on the 18th. This constitutes a
record that ought to suit all reasona-
BILE requirements, since it comprises
all the conditions in the meteorologi-
cal gamut except sleet and snow, and
We doubt il anybody hereaWay will re-
greet that these two items were left out.
t may truly be said OF the past month
that il had ssthirty-one days and plenty
weather. -

Letter to Hon. R. N. Sims.

Dear sir-The cheap paint to buy il
the one that covers more than YOU
think; the cheap one 10 wear is the
one that is young when old.
Mrs. Moore, of Kelsey, n. Y,
bought TO gallons Devoe to paint her
house TWO coats; her painters said it
would take that. Had gallons left.
MIR. James Ackley's house il Cairo
(Catskill Mountains1, N. Y, was
painted Devoe: it wore Il years; and
the paint was il good condition then.
He was going to paint, the last we
knew, though. That's the way to pre-
serve house; repaint when there's
no occasion.
Yours truly,

Windmill Demolished,

Early Wednesday morning the wind
mill connected with the pump which
furnished water for the cotton gin Of
the Lemann Co., Ltd, situated on
Peytavin plantation, a short distance
below Donaldsonville, was completely
demolished by the high wind which
prevailed at that hour. The mill was
OF steel and stood about 80 feet high.
It was erected some months ago and
operated without hitch until the
freeze Of last week, when it became de-
ranged and resisted all efforts to
bring il to q stop. The collapse Of the
mill created loud noise, which was
heard for quite distance.

SOUTHERN RAILWAYS GIFT.
Adds $1,000 to Y. NJ c. A. Fund
Other Donations Made.

One of the largest gifts during the pres
ent campaign to the building and furnishing
fund of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation was that made yesterday by the
Southern railway of $500. This gift came
Just after the company had appropriated
$4,000 for the erection of branch associa-
tons at division points along its system
and was somewhat unexpected. This, with
the other subscriptions received, brought
the total to be raised in the remaining days
of this week down to $31 32S
Messrs. B. III. Warner and L. L. Pierce
were the members of the board of directors
who had the pleasure of receiving the do
nation although District Commissioners
Macfarland and Mr.. John B. Larner had
previously in writing, brought the subject
to the attention of President Spencer. To
Messrs Warner and Pierce he said that he
appreciated the fact that the local associa-
ton would be very beneficial to hundreds
of young men in the city, including scores
of men in the employ of the Southern. 1t
was with pleasure, he said that he added
to the large appropriation already made to
association work by contributing 5000 for
the local association, and continued that the
directors might have a check for the money
whenever they desired 1t.
The members of the Young Mems $4,000
Club were quite successful yesterday in Sc
curing funds. The standing of the team
follows: Team G, Capt. E. s. La Fetra,

Scores of former pupils in the educational
department alumni members are coming
voluntarily to headquarters and leaving
subscriptions some small, but all most en-
couragng to the leaders in the movement.
A widow who is dependent upon the in
come from a boarding house she keeps,
came to headquarters this morning unso-
licited to make donation. She gave $40
toward $25 subscription she made, saying
she felt it to be her duty to help the young
men who are helping her by patronizing
her boarding house.
One teacher in the educational depart
ment has given his entire salary teacher
for the last two years to the fund, and S25
besides. This means that he has worked
for more than two years teaching at nights
in the school without pay simply for the
good of the cause.

RESCUED FROM RIVER.
Thrilling Experience of Mrs. o'Connor
Yesterday

One of the most exciting reScueS that
has ever been made from the waters of
the Potomac river in this vicinity was ac-
complished yesterday afternoon about $50
O'clock when John McCandieSS, the star
foot ball and tennis player of Gallaudet
College, succeeded in reaching the shore
with Mrs. Michael OConnor, wife OF the
keeper of Lock No. in the canal near the
Chain bridge. Mrs. O'Connor had been over
to the Virginia shore in a rowboat to visit
several friends. At the conclusion of her
visit she started to return to her home By
some mistake she took a course which was
below the one she had used in crossing,
and before she was aware of the fact her
boat was caught in the swift current and
carried over Little Falls. The boat over
turned. She, being an expert swimmer,
managed to reach a rock which jutted above
the water. AT this point the water is
rapid, and Mrs. OConnor knew If she at
tempted to reach either shore by swimming
the rapids that she would likely be court
ing death. About this time McCandless TO-
gether with Arthur Jaffray. who is also a
student at Gallaudet College, and who is
a member of the camp of college men who
are living near the place for time, hap
pened to look out over the waters of the
Potomac and saw Mrs. O'Connor waving
her arms in an effort to attract attention.
Jaffray went for a boat and ropes while
McCandless walked over the rocks along
the brink of the dam as far as he could go
and then plunged in and swan for the rock
to which the woman was clinging.
Jaffray had in the meantime aroused the
womans family and shortly arrived with
her father. Together they launched boat
where the current was not rapid, but
after going short distance the boat lodged
against a rock on the dam. They then
threw rope to McCandless who, after
tying it about his waist, was hauled aboard
the boat. bearing the woman in his arms.
Mrs. O'Connor became unconscious while
being borne through the water and did not
revive for several moments after she had
been taken into the boat together with the
rescuer.
The water at this point is exceedingly
rapid, and short time after they had at
tempted to row ashore an oar was lost and
the boat went the dam, capsiZing.
McCandless held the woman, and after a
hard struggle managed to get her to a
rock which the others reached few mo-
ments later. Jaffray, after time, made the
Virginia shore and then swan across above
the falls and aroused the other members
of the camp. Leo Joyce and several others
responded and with MI OConnor, who was
apprised of his wfe's danger, succeeded in
launching boat and rescuing the party
from the rock. Five hours had elapsed after
the Maryland shore. McCandless and Jaff-
ray both deserve great praise for the way
they worked to rescue the woman. The
former lives in Londonbury, Ireland, while
Jaffray resides in Canada.

WHITELAW REID GUEST
At Annual Dinner of st. Georges So
ciety in New York.

The annual dinner of ST. Georges Society
was held in New York last night with more
than 800 members and their guests present.
The principal guests were Whitela~ Reid,
the new ambassador to the Court OF St.
James, who responded to the toast, The
Day We Celebrate" Sir Percy Sanderson,
the British consul in this city and Baron
kaneko of Japan. President Darrell read
a letter of regret from the British ambas-
sador, Sir Henry Mortimer Durand
Sir Percy Sanderson referred jokingly to
the enterprise of Aerican newspapers and
particularly of their reporters. Speaking
seriously, he declared that he wished that
the present existing cordial relations be-
tween the two countries be maintained. He
declared that it is a matter of great graft
fication to Englishmen generally that such
a warm and cordial reception had been ac-
corded the Archbishop Of Canterbury and
a large number of other subjects of Great
Britain who have visited this country with
in the past year. He prophesied continu-
ance of harmonious diplomatic rela tions
through Secretary Hay and the American
and British ambassadors.
Whitelaw Reid was warmly greeted when
introduced as the new ambassador to the
Court of St. James. He said in part:
1T was an Englishman, two centuries
ago, who proclaimed that In faith and
nope, the WOrlQ Will disagree, out all man
kinds concern is charity To New York
ers ST. Georges Society stands for British
charity and British Christianity. 1t stands
also for British appreciation of America as
a place of residence and British regard for
Americans.
1.-The reference to the appointment I hold
lave been most generous and l thank you
The kind appreciation you express is valued
for many reasons, but particularly because
1t must be sign of your confidence that
the appointment tends to International good
will. Yet that, after all, is no longer a
subject of much concern. We do not con-
tinue to worry over an object of national
or international desire when it has been
already attained-we are content to enjoy
it. The good will between your country
and this already exists
Baron Kaneko, the japanese diplomat
aroused enthusiasm among the diners by
his response TO the toast, THE Anglo-Jap-
anese Alliance. He declared that he be-
lieved that the alliance which has until 1907
to run will be continued
THE continuation of the alliance" he
declared, would mean that France can
remain in peaceful possession of her hold
ings in Asia; that Germany can remain
unnolested in the Peninsula of Canton. and
that Russia will be left unmolested in her
proper bounds of Siberia
