First Of all, let us be patient and keep our

us give all mankind to understand that there
will be neither compromise nor shadow ct

Traffic Interrupted.

The snow last night, though by no
means heavy, has iuterfered with rail-
road traffic in this immediate section
more than any that has fallen for some
time past. The high wind has caused drifts
to form on the tracks, in many instances
completely covering them and bringing
all trains to a stsndstill. Upto 3 o'clock
this evening but few trains had made
the trip between this city and Washing
ton and but one had run between this
CITY and Mount Vernon, and so long as
the wind continues to blow and the tenn
perature remains low, there is little pros
pect of better conditions.

in the aiternoou, aud by dark the ground
was vel covered. The snow continued
to Fall during the night, criitingi 10 many
places t. Two .eet in depth Toward morn

conditions sayored OF a blizzard. the mer-
cury 10 the meantime dropping to IL. The
snow was whirled through the streets IN
binding clouds. and the wind, 70 use n

The elements gathered strength during
the morning hours and snow continued
10 fall. rendering outdoor operations
difficult and disagreeable. AT times
pedestrians found 1t almost impossible to
forge ahead against the heavy blasts OF
wind.
The river presented a wild picture.
The snow cast the Maryland hills into
an eclipse, aud waves rOared dismally.
Now aud then a lugboat could be seen
struggling up the river, and occasionally
one passed down.
Railway traffic was seriously impeded,
and the 1ew electric trains which ran
were operated under difficulties, most
of the morning trains having been an
nalled. Many people who are employed
in Washington declined to brave the ele-
meDts and remained at home. Others
made start, but upon reaching the
stations aud realizing the difficulties be-
fore them returned to their homes. The
trolley trains stalled, while the motor
wheels spun around like tops, and oc-
casionally cars jumped the tracks,
Every effort was made to keep the line
open by running single cars between
here aud Washington.
Most of the day the electric railway
trains from this city ran only to Airing
ton Junction where passengers were
transferred and carried TO the Aqueduct
bridge and from there proceeded TO wash
ington.
All the steam trains, both north aud
south bound, were late in arriving and
departing.
The snow ceased to fall shortly after
noov. but high wind continued.
The conditions last night contrasted
remarkably with those prevailing at the
same hour January "a, 1899, six years
ago. when warm rain, accompanied
by incessant thunder and lighting, pre-
vailed for two hours.

Kelly, on the occasion of the golden jubilee of the immaculate conception.
 The album is work of art and a thing of beauty. It is bound in snow white antique silk, and the cor ners and clasps are of pure gold Near the left-hand lower corner ol the cover is the popes crest, while across the upper part of the cover is the word Autographs" in gold letters.
 The album contains 50 pages. On the right-hand side of each is some original poem, composed by members of the sodality, and written in either English, Latin or Italian. These pages are exquisitely illuminated, aft CT the manner of the middle ages, and the decorations on no two are alike. On the opposite side of the pages there is nothing except some modest deco ration. All the work was done by hand by members of the sodality, ex- cept the chasing, which was done by Walter, the college jeweler.
 On the presentation page of the album are the words: ITO Our Most Holy Father Plus X., Children of Mary, Jesuits' Church. New Orleans. La., 1904" On the title page of the album are the words: Golden Ju- bilee of the Immaculate Conception. !S54-19O4"

cozY HOME FOR TRAMPs.
Wealthiest Hobo in America Plans c Comfortable Refuge for
 the Aged.

Hans Ablehanson, the wealthiest tramp in America, who several years ago lived at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York, at the expense of western rail- road magnate, as result of wager that Hans could not walk from Tacoma to Panama in eight months, is to build a home for aged tramps. Hans recent ly received $25,000 by the will of rel ative who died in Sweden, and the money is now said to be drawing interest in 2 New York bank.
 Hans recently disclosed his intention to his friend, Peter Johnson, of Wor- cester Mass. The other day Johnson was in New York, and, while talking about Hans project, said:
 "It sounds like the dream of a crazy man, but Hans declares that he will build the tramps' home with his money. He says that he will build his home somewhere in New England. I asked him why he didn't take his money and settle down and he said it is much more fun to be a tramp.
 He said that the only thing he wanted to get out of his money is home to live in when he gets too old to catch freights. so long as he had to build himself home, hs declared that he might as we'll build one large enough for 25 or 30 of his friends. He told me that he knew 5000 tramps on the road in the United States. Some of these friends of his, he ex- plained, are getting old and stiff and cannot tramp much longer.
 "He plans to put all of his money in this home for his friends. After it is built, he argues that by little work, such as broom making or mending chairs or something of that kind, the 25 tramps who reside within can pay running ex- penses. When asked him how soon he Is going to build this home he said that he is looking for suitable place, and that as soon. as he finds one he will take his money out of the bank and build"

You Must
 Sleep.

If you cannot, it is due to an irritated or congested state ot the brain, which will soon de- velope into nervous prostration.
 Nature demands sleep, and it is as important as food; it is a part of her building and sustaining process. This period of inconsistencies relaxes the mental and physical strain, and allows nature to restore ex- hausted vitality.
 Dr. Miles Nervine brings refreshing sleep, because it soothes the irritation and re- moves the congestion.
 It is also a nerve builder; it nourishes and strengthens ev- cry nerve in your body, and creates energy in all the organs.
 Nothing will give strength and vitality as surely and quickly as Dr. Miles Nervine.
 During the past winter I had two attacks of LaGrippe which left me very weak, and in bad condition. was so nervous I could not sleep. My wife, after trying different, remedies, went for a doctor. The doctor was out. and a neighbor recommended Dr. Miles Nervine, and she brought home a bottle I had not slept for some time and had terrible pains in my. head After taking a few doses of Nervine the pain was not so severe, and l slept I am now taking the second bottle. and am very much improved
