STORM CAUSED
SEVEN DEATHS
NEW YORK AND VICINITY VS.
TIED BY A BLIZZARD OF
LARGE PROPORTIONS.
TRAFFIC WAS PARALYZED;
POOR PEOPLE SUFFERED
Grocers and Coal Dealers Ran Short OF
Supplies and Raised Prices
Trolley Cars Stalled
for Hours.

New York, Jan. 5.-Not in several
years has New York been visited by
storm of such proportions as that
which commenced Tuesday and con-
tinued until early Wednesday. Nine
inches of snow fell, paralyzing traffic,
and the marked drop in the tempera-
ture brought untold suffering to the
citys poor. The blizzard caused seven
deaths in New York and vicinity,
while many persons, overcome by the
cold, dropped to the street, some Of
them receiving fractured bones.
The storm began with an icy sleet,
which stuck to the car rails, and caus-
ed a speedy abandonment of railroad
and trolley schedules. The sleet COW
cred the sidewalks and streets with
ice and rendered them almost impas-
sable.
A fine snow succeeded the sleet and,
aided by the wind, soon piled up drifts
that shut off many suburban points
from the city.
The drifts caused milk famine and
only a small percentage of the usual
amount of milk was delivered in the
city.
Owing to the inability of small groc-
ers and coal dealers to get supplies,
they ran short and put their wares up
to famine prices. Great suffering re-
suited in the poorer districts from this
action.
Though the residents of Manhattan
had hard time, their trials were in
significant compared with residents in
the Bronx and Brooklyn. The whole
transportation system in the Bronx
broke. down just when the morning
travel was at its height and people
were compelled in many instances TO
tramp miles to the nearest 81" sta
tions. All the surface lines were tied
up.
The storm paralyzed traffic in the
country districts of Staten Island. In
many places the snow drifts were very
deep and several trolley cars were
stalled all night between Richmond
and New DOrp. Small buildings in
various parts of the island were blown
down by the gale and telegraph and
telephone wires were much damaged.

A New Ship Subsidy Bill.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Congress yes
terday received the report of the
American merchant marine commits
sion, composed of members of the SEN
ate and the house, who began their in
quiry on March %, 1904, with a view
to reporting to the congress what leg
islation, if any, is desirable for the de
velopment of the American merchant
marine and American commerce. AS
an answer to the difficulties which the
question presents, the commission of
fers bill entitled: "To promote the
national defense, to create a force of
naval volunteers, to establish Ameri-
can ocean mail lines to foreign mar
kets, to promote commerce, and to
provide revenue from tonnage" The
bill provides for a system of subsidies.

ANIMALS GO ON STRIKE.

Even the rabbit is a hardened striker.
In rabbit colonies the stronger rabbits:
do most of the burrowing and as often.
as perhaps once in two years these be-,
come discontented and refuse to work
species of black ants have little yell
low ants which 90 most of their work
for them. Occasionally the yellow spe-
cies will 60 on a strike. Their food sup
ply is cut off, but if that does not avaiE
the strikers are attacked or another lot
of yellow ants are secured.
Both birds and beasts occasionally go
on strike, according to observers. A.
herd of horses will bunch together, neg
lect their food, become restive, neigh
and rub noses when in field. The out
come is that the herd will not allow
themselves to be saddled or harnessed
and will chase and attempt to kick the
attendants. Female birds take tantrums
and refuse to do the housework. They
desert their nests and leave their eggs;
to become cold and barren. The male
naturally becomes greatly concerned,
but with the bird and beast creation the
male will never attack the female, SO
there is no remedy. Warblers and star.
lings are given greatly to these strikes.

How to Danish Fog.

The fact is incOntroyertible that the
dismal fogs, which do so much to make
London a city Of Dis at this season of
the year, are perfectly controllable
phenomena. They could be banished by
taking thought-that is, by forbidding
factories and the like to emit black
smoke, and by inducing the ordinary
householder to adopt understanding
CRATES. Yet in spite of all that they
suffer, the London public are content to
leave agitation for reform entirely in
the hands Of a small society.-London

A Miners Crime.

Johnstown, Pa. Jan. 5.-Jacob
Houser, a coal miner, entered the
home of his father-in-law at Moxham,
suburb Of this city, yesterday, and
stabbed to death his wife and mother
in-law. He then seriously wounded
his wife's sister, aged 12 years, and
tried to kill his father-in-law, but was
prevented by shotgun in the hands
of the latter. Houser then fed to an
old coal mine nearby, where he was
captured, after he had taken a heavy
dose of l9udaGum. He will probably
die. Houser has been separated from
his wife for a year.

OPPOSED TO ARBITRATION.
Democrats Will Make a Fight on
Treaties with Foreign
Countries.

If the democrats carry out their
threats to oppose the arbitration
treaties they will furnish a new reason
why the American people should re-
ioice at democratic defeat in the recent
election, says the st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat. The Roosevelt administration
has been very active in framing arbi-
tratiOn treaties in the past II months.
We have compacts of this sort with
England, France, Italy, the Neither
lands and other countries. Some of
these are now before the senate. The
others will be submitted to that body
for action soon. In this work the SEN
ate will be kept busy for many days of
the present short session.
1t is understood that practically all
of the republican senators favor the
should oppose any of them, except pos
sibly on some points of detail, which
can be readily changed, is hard to un-
derstand. The chances are that they
will get the solid republican vote. Sec
retary Hay has received high praise for
his activity in framing these peace
compatts with the great nations. None
of them hamper the United States in
any way. None of them propose to
submit to arbitration the Monroe prin-
ciple or touch on any issue affecting
the honor or vital interest of the coun-
try. They propose to refer to an i'm
partial tribunal the ordinary questions
on which the United States and some
of the other countries might be at
variance
But the democrats, it is reported. are
to make fight on all of them. Appar-
emily they imagine, or pretend they
imagine, that the treaties will some
how involve us in some sort of al
lance with the countries with which
the agreements are entered into. Then,
too, the disposition to oppose every
thing that the republican party favors
has something to do with democratic
hostility. 1t would seem that the chas-
tisement which the democrats have re-
Gently received for their Obstructive
ness and bOurbonism ought to have
taught them the folly of opposing the
measures which the republicans bring
forward. 1t is evident that the repub-
licans have the confidence of an over
whelming majority of the American
people. This policy of entering into
peace pacts with the rest of the great
nations is in harmony with United
States traditions and conforms to the
spirit of the age. The present indica-
tiOnS are that every one of the arbitra-
ton treaties will be ratified, notwith-
standing the opposition of the demo-
cratic leaders.

What the Hand symbolizes.

Look where we will, we find the hand
In time and history, working, building,
inventing bringing civilization out of
barbarism. The hand symbolizes power
and the excellence of work. The me-
chanic's hand, that minister of elemen-
tai forces, the hand that hews. saws, cuts,
builds. is useful in the world equally
with the delicate hand that paints wild
flower or molds a Grecian urn, or the
hand of a statesman that writes a law.
The eye cannot say to the hand: "Ihave
no need of thee" Blessed be the hand!
Thrice blessed be the hands that work.

NEW YEAR BEGINS WELL.
Business Conditions are Favorable
Dun's Review of Trade.

New York, Jan. 7.-R. G. Dun &
Co.. S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Aside from some hesitation at the
south, owing to the recent fall in price
of cotton, business conditions are
favorable and optimistic sentiments
are evidenced by extensive prepara-
tions for active trade. AS annual re-
ports appear it is found that the clos
ing months of 1904 made a much bet

starts the new year with smaller
stocks of goods in the hands of deal
ers, assuring liberal contracts in the
near future for replenishing supplies.
A few minor labor controversies
have arisen, but the Fall River mills
are more active, and in most branches
of manufacture there is a steady de-
crease in the proportion of idle ma
chinery, one prominent producer of

all plants in operation. Storms have
caused temporary delay to traffic, but

Of the railways in December were Ga

month of 1903. Winter wheat condi-
tions have improved.
The various departments of the
iron and steel industry steadily extend
operations, and the sentiment is in
striking contrast to the conserv-

TALES OF THE TITLED.

The Duchess Cecile, of Mecklenburg-
Schwerin, whom the crown prince Of
Germany is to marry, has been brought
up in many respects after the fashion Of
the German housewife. She is prof.
cient in all domestic duties, and said to
be first-class cook.
The little prince of Piedmont, unlike
his sisters. Princesses Yolanda and Ma
falda, is being nursed by his mother.
Queen Helene reluctantly gave the other
children up to the nurse, but when the
ong-hoped-for heir to the throne ar
rived she absolutely refused to let any
other than herself give him nourish-
ment.
King Leopold, of Belgium, has ap-
pointed Henry Gabriels, bishop Of the
Catholic diocese of Ogdensburg, an Off
Ger of the Royal order of Leopolds,
which was founded by the first king of
Belgium. This honor recognizes the
labors Of Bishop Gabrels in his writ
ings on various subjects published in
Belgium and the services frequently ex-
tended by him to emigrants from Bel
gium to this country.
Lord Charles Beresford, the comman-
der in-chief of the Channel fleet, is as,
popular in political circles as he is in
the navy In the house Of commons his
speeches were always invariably good
humored, and marked with sound COM
mon sense. On one occasion Lord
Charles created a roar of laughter by
explaining how he would deal with cap
tured slave traders. I'd give these men
fair trial, Mr.. Speaker" said he, and
then I'd hang them!"

POLITICAL CORRUPTION.
Gov. DurbiTF Says that Vote Buyers
Thrive in Indiana.

Indianapolis, Jan. 7.-W. r. Durbin,
retiring governor of Indiana, in his
annual message to the legislature yes
terday said concerning political cor
ruption:
THE time has come for the applica-
tion of drastic remedial measures to
the plague of corruption which is fast
ening itself upon our politics. We
have in Indiana advanced legislation
for the protection of the purity of the
ballot, but the statistics of political
debauchery in this state for 1904, if it
were possible to present them, would
be astounding. | am informed by un-
questioned authority that in a single
county in Indiana, casting in 1902
little more than 5000 votes, there
were in the last campaign nearly
1900 voters regularly listed as pur-
chaseable and that $4,000 raised by
assessment from candidates and 9th
erwise was spent by the contending
political parties in the effort to con-
troll the county.
Instances have come to my atten-
ton during the past few weeks where,
in contests for township trustees,
votes have brought $25 and $50 each.
Our present need is legislation framed
in the light of a clearer conception Of
the enormity of the offense involved
in the purchase or sale of a vote. Our
present statute is farcical, as it places
no penalty on the vote buyer. | be-
lcve consideration should be given to
the advisability of requiring the grad
ual introduction of voting machines"
AS a parting warning to the legisla-
tura the governor says: "If reports
current can be credited, this session
of the legislature will be called upon
10 resist the opportunities of the
most corrupt professional lobby that
has visited any general assembly in
the history of the state. Already the
names Of members of the general as
sembly are being used and the neces-
sity of large sums of money to prevent
needed legislation or to pass question
able measures is being urged"

A Sensational Speech.

Washington, Jan. IA sensational
address by George H. Maxwell, the
executive chairman of the national
irrigation congress, was made Friday
in the forestry congress. He scored
congress for it's refusal to repeal the
timber and stone act and declared that
the house public lands committee, the
western members of which he alleged
had deliberately prevented action"
on the measure and thus allowed the
stealing to continue, should be held
up to public obloquy and lashed at
the carts tail with the whip of out
ragged national sentiment"

Japanese Shin Names,

1t is Of interest to learn that Japan has
christened her big battleships after
great mountains and the small war yes
sells from some well known natural fea-
lures OF the country. 1t may also be
mentioned that at the end of the name
of every japanese ship is either the ter
mination kan" or "maru." Kan"
means war vessels and is applied, of
course. only to the emperOr's fleet.
'Maru," which means round, is applied
to merchant yessels-why, it is difficult
to say.

City Hall Burned.

Springfield Mass, Jan. THE city
hall, valued at more than $4,000, was
completely destroyed by fire in less
than an hour Friday. There were
probably so people in the building
and the flames worked so rapidly that
there were many narrow escapes, but
it is believed that all got out. Across
a narrow street is the police station
and court room. This building took
fire several times, but was only slight
ly damaged. The large department
store of Smith & Murray, nearby,
narrowly escaped burning. Help was
called from neighboring cities.

HABITS CHAIN.

If it could be transformed, lift a

gree of heroism to break the chains Of
a pernicious habit than to lead a for,

writes from an Indiana town:
From my earliest childhood I was,
q lover of coffee. Before l was out
of my teens l was a miserable dys-
peptic, suffering terribly at times with
my stomach.
Il was convinced that it was coffee,
that was causing the trouble and yet
could not deny myself a cup for
breakfast. At the age of SO I was in
very poor health, indeed. My Sister
told me | was in danger of becoming
q coffee drunkard.
But l never could give up drinking.
