RESULTS OF STORM
Total Precipitation Amounted to 1.42 Inches, of Which
 50 Was Snow.
FAIRER CONDITIONS TO-DAY
Mapy Trolley Cars Stalled and Stores Deserted as Result of
 the Storm.

At the weather bureau 1t was stated late last night that the total precipi- tation, both snow and rain, since the beginning of the storm had been near. ly l.42 inches. Of this 50, or about six inches, had been snow. The wind had averaged northeast. but it was chang ing to north. which would indicate clearing weather for to-day. The storm had covered a large area and had been moving slowly. Saturday morning # was central over Illinois; yesterday if was much farther east. As. a result of the storm the wires of the weather bureau had been all tangled up and the weather reports had come in very late
 For to-day the weather indications are that 1t will probably be fair and cooler here
 Since there was not enough electric ity for al. the lines to be run at once on Saturday a system of breaks" was put into use. This consisted in turn ing the current off from one line after another successively for five minutes while it was used to add to the current on the other lines and make them of some worth.
 The storm did not make the proprie- tors of the big department stores wear any broader smiles Saturday evening. Their stores had all been put in apple pie order preparatory to what they had anticipat d would be a big satur- day afternoon and evening of Christ. mas shopping
 Yesterday luckily was Sunday and with the decreased traffic that always comes then the trolley company got it's second wind. As a result there were no unusual features in the traffic about town then.
 New Haven woke up Saturday morn- ing to find itself fast in the hands of a small sized blizzard. The storm came down thick and fact and it was soon many inches thick on the ground. Then the trouble began to brew Time was, in the good old days, when we had what now is termed an old-fashioned winter, that the good New Englanders were quite unastonished to see storm lof many hours duration at any time between Thanksgiving and the middle of March But Saturday it was a dif- ferent matter. Many of the trolley cars gave up in despair after few feeble sputters and soon everybody in the city was likewise in despair and sput- tering as a result of it.
 The Connecticut company is at pres- ent not well prepared at it's Grand aye enue power house for any extraordl- nary call upon its electrical capacity. The company has just removed two 275-kilowatt dynamos from there. which will be placed in the recon structed West Haven power house. It is expected that there will be two new I0oO-kilowatt dynamos at the Grand avenue house to take the places of those that have just been taken out by the first of February.

OLDER THAN sToNEHENGE.
It's Date Far Back of That of Ancient
 Rome

Winklebury Camp, near Rasingstoke, which has recently been sold has a history as ancient as, if not indeed old CT. than that of Stonehenge itself It was in existence at the time when the Romans invaded these islands, and was evidently occupied by them. but it's origin probably dates back to about the year 1900 B. C., or 1000 years be- fore the foundation by Romulus of the Rome of the Caesars. The camp, which stands close to the old Roman road be- tween Winchester and Silchester, must therefore have been a settlement of the ancient Britons, and several relics to substantiate this have been discov- cred. As it's name implies-the ter imitation bury" signifying bar row. or burial place Winklebury Camp contained a burial ground, part of which at least has been found. One of the tumuli has been partially eX- plored, and the examination revealed horns, teeth, bones, burnt earth and fragments of ancient British pottery. There relics were submitted to the nat ural history department of the British museum, and the teeth, as well as the horns. were identified as belonging te the Bos longifrons. or Celtic shorthorn 1 a breed of cattle which appertained te i the later centuries of t3e Neoiithie i period. .-Pall Mall Gazette.

SALOON MEN TAKE NOTICE.

Augustus Busch, the big St. Louis brewer, has declared his intention of closing every law -breaking saloon with which his company has business relations. As an earnest of his in- tention he has closed notorious ret sort at Bolleville, an Illinois suburb of St. Louis.
 This action by the largest brewing company in America is significant. It is only one of many indications that the heads of the liquor business are coming to their senses. They have winked at lawlessness for many years and their new policy is not the result of moral regeneration It is a plain matter of business caution The brew CTS realize that while the law is full of restrictions on the saloons, it still permits them to live in a greater part of the country. Abuses and infrac- tions of the law are responsible for a wave of temperance sentiment that is sweeping saloons from cities, coun- ties and even states. It is plain as a pikestaff that the saloon interests must choose between obedience to the laws of regulation and absolute prohibition The example of the big gest man in the business is for obedi- ence to the law, and if the smaller ones are able to see beyond the cash register, they will follow suit,-Minne- apclis Journal.

MoNGoLIAN PHEAsANTs.
Said to Be Rapidly Multiplying in
 Western New York,

The recent arrest of a young man charged with shooting a Mongolian pheasant just outside of the city lime it's, emphasizes the fact that these birds have become numerous in this locality, and incidentally nearly as domestic fowls,
 Under the game laws the killing of Mongolian pheasants, or having them in possession, is absolutely forbidden, until the year 1910 When the birds were first introduced some doubt ex- isted regarding their acclimation, and it was thought best to make close season of five years, and this was done, Contrary to the opinion of many nat- uralists, the pheasants made them selves much at home, and have in creased with singular rapidity. Al- though the penalty for killing the birds is very heavy, it is believed thatt large numbers are killed each season. Notwithstanding this handicap, theyE have become so plentiful as to be re- garded as a pest by farmers. It isl charged that by reason of compara- tive immunity, they have become boldE and destroy crops to a greater exteHtk even than crows.
 It must be confessed that the farm-a CT is placed in an anomalous posi-s ton. He has to choose between dam- age to his crops by the saqcy oriental beauties. or killing them and risking heavy fine. They are so fearless that in many eases, they car be killed witf1a a billet of wood, and the temptation t1I destroy them is almost Irresistible.
 While it is desirable, for many rea4 sons, that this choice game bird should De given proper protection, there is obj viously another side to the question: Ethically, there is no reason why farmer should suffer loss in order t{ provide means of future enjoyment bS city sportsmen. If the pheasants foun{ their habitat in the woods and groveI only, their presence would not be uni desirable to the agricultufist Whe1 they are protected and penetrate t the garden patch, patience and resped for the game law cease to be virtue.
 So long as the law protecting thE pheasants at all seasons remains i force, it should, of course, be respect ed. It is contended by many sports men that the object of the long clos season has already been accomplished and that a reasonable open seasd should be provided each year. TT prejudice against the birds among tlI farmers has assumed such proportio4 that it is probable an effort will

1rrsrICE I'M KENTrcKY.

The beginning of the fourth trial of Caleb Powers, charged with the mur- der of Governor Goebel, of Kentucky, excites intense interest, inasmuch as now, after eight years spent in pris- on, and after three trials, the verdicts of conviction in which were set aside by the State Supreme court, Powers at length has a prospect of d fair trial Heretofore he has been the vic- tim of vengeful and unreasoning Dein- ocratic partisans, but the political up- heaval at the last election changes all this Governor Beckham has not dared to place the trial in the hands of q partisan judge and the judge now pre- siding shows a disposition to act with absolute fairness. There is danger in the jury room, since through the agen- cy of a prejudiced sheriff, the jury panel has been packed with Demo- crats. One list of jurors bearing none but Democratic names was thrown out by the court at the start. On the present panel there are four Republi- cans, proportion so absurdly small as to evidence manipulation; but at all events Powers is sure of equitable treatment from the bench and of full enjoyment of his rights as citizen presumed to be innocent until he may be proven guilty,
 The Kentucky Democracy itself ought by this time tobe weary of the obloquy brought upon it by the Pow CTS case, for its part in the handling of which it has paid dearly in pres tige and in strength at the polls. Nor can it's position be bettered by further efforts to justify the wrong it has done. The only way out is through repent ance and ement-Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.

 The Atlantic has reasserted itself. Every one among the thousand and more passengers on the six large ocean steamships which arrived at New York yesterday is competent and will ing to affirm that statement-and none more competent, more willing, than the battered travellers on the biggest ship afoat.
 When this queen of the ocean" first steamed into an American port a few months ago having reduced the ocean to "four-day" pond, it's land- lubber admirers told of the crafts wonderful stability, declaring it was as steady as a church. blow the wind high or low, and could defy the worst gales of the winter Learned if not nautical men figured out that this stability was due in some measure to the gyroscopic action of the turbine engines, and this assumption gave im- pulse to the movement to equip sea- going passenger ships with that very old new device, the gyroscope, and thus eliminate forever the ills of the ocean. It is quite clear now that mans enthusiasm ran away with his common sense.
 The biggest ship ahoat is but ship after all, and the Atlantic is the At lantic still just as mighty, as terrible and as powerful to play with the big gest" as with the smallest boat that man can make.

Tad Jones is in St. vincent's hospi- tai, New York, rapidly recovering from a trouble with hls back which reaches an acute stage just after the game against Harvard. A week from to-day he will go to his home in Ex- cello, O., where he will remain until after vacation, when he will take his examinations and go on with his class.
 The trouble from which the Yale quarterback is suffering, to state is mildly, is synovitis of the sacroiliac synchondrosis. When asked what this was in American the physician in at tendance stated that the alment Is an Inflammation in the neighborhood of the base of the spine, a trouble in the joint, caused probably by sprain in the course of Jones active athletic career
 Jones expects to play baseball next spring all right, although he may have to play the first few games in straps. He will be captain of the team and the outlook is the best it has been in years.
 His illness is a sore disappointment to Tad for this winter he expected to play hockey or on some other of the minor teams. But he says the rest he is getting is just the thing he. needs.
 Pop Foster, who played substitute left tackle in the Harvard and Princeton games went to see Tad at the hospital last week and found him getting along finely. His injury has completely left him. but he wants to get entirely well before leaving the hospital.

 That Bridge is Curse.

Speaking in the Central hall Edin- burgh, the Rev. H.

He needed it. The people who condemned football were those with the easy chair and the roaring fire who themselves had some other recreation.
