ANNIVERSARY OF GREAT SNOW
Terrible Storm of Half a Century
Ago Recalled.

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 8.-Old
men who lived in Richmond before
the war are recalling that today Is
the anniversary of the most terrible
snow storm that ever occurred In
the Old Dominion. &
The storm began on the night Of
February s. 1857, and continued for
nearly three days. 1t was given the
name of the Cox snow, owing to the
fact that DR.. Joseph Cox, Of Chester
fed county, one of the most promi-
nent physicians Of that timeS was
lost in the blizzard and found froz-
en- to death, together with "a COM
panion. Ek FL
The snow was very deep, even
where it was level and had not
drifted, and observant men, who
remember THIS great storm, say
that the rain fences which bordered
the roads and partitioned the fields,
were hidden by the snow and tine
lines of the thoroughfares we're OBJ
liberated. In many places the snow
was drifted and driven by the wind
which was very fierce, until 1T COW

NO DOT FOR THIS DUKE.

That statement made by Theo-
there was no pre-nuptial agreement
between his daughter and the Due
de Chaulnes, is particularly re-
freshing bit of reading, coming as it
does on the heals of the Vanderbilt
show with its five million dollar
fortune settled upon a count of UNI
pronouncable name. The Shonts-
de Chaulnes wedding appears to be
love match, and it is a great re-
lief to know that occasionally an
international affair of this kind is
possible. Miss Theodore Shonts, it
seems, actually marries the young
French nobleman because she really
loves him, and the young nobleman
actually weds the pretty American
girl because he loves her and not
because there is to be, straight
bargain for the title which he wears.
Here Is Father Shonts' statement in
the case and it is worth reading
again if you have read 1t once:
The marriage of Miss Shonts and
the duke win be according to the
customs of this and of no other
country. No question of settle
ment on the duke has arisen and
none will.

we determined that the duke must
stand the test of long acquaint-
ance.
I have the utmost confidence in
the judgement of Miss Marguerite

posed engagement dispassionately

GOING BACK TO WORK.

From various cities in Massachu-
sets, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Ohio, Michigan and other states re-
ports come of the resumption of OPP
erations in mills and factories that
have been temporarily closed down.
Some of these plants have been idle
for a month or more. The natural
inference when they shut down was
that they had been periodically af-
fected by the financial disturbance
in it's relationship to industrial en-.
terprises. To some extent this was
true, yet the furry can hardly have
been the sole cause of the stoppage
Of work.
It is reasonable to assume that
the mills and factories which have
long been running at high pressure
and the various departments OF
which had been under severe strain
for many months, required a brief
time for relaxation and readjust-
ment. When the disturbance came
there was some canceling of orders
hut in most of the factories orders
had got so far ahead of the capacity

some instances could be hardly call

HAD A. BAD RECORD.
Kings Assassin, as a Boy, Was
Cowardly.

RIO De JANEIRO, Feb. s.
life story Of Buissa, leader of the
band that assassfnated King Carlos
and Crown Prince Luis at Lisbon
last Saturday, has been obtained in
this city from a Portuguese clerk in
a commercial house, who was a
schoolmater of the regic;de.
He says the assassins fulr name
was Manuel Res Silva Buissa, and
that he was born in the Vinhaes dis
trict, province of Braganza, Traz Os
Monies, Portugal He was az son of
the Able of Vinhaes and as boy
went to the Iyceum at Braganza. He
had nine brothers and sisters Man
uel was not the first crfmina1I in the
family.
One of his aunts killed a. servant
In her employ when she found that
her husband was making love- to the
woman. She was arrested and SEN
fenced to- a long term of ifnprisun-
ments in Africa.
/ AS boy Manuel Buissa was quar-
relsome. and audacfous, but coward
lily. He left the Tyceum with the rep
utation of a bad student and as hav-
| ing a vicious character. The life he
led in Briganza made it necessary for
his father to put him into the army,
and he was consequently enrolled in
the Seventh cavalry regiment of Bril-
/ ganza:
Even in the army Re was hard
youth to control, but in spite Of Off
cial punishment he managed to gain
the grade of sergeant. He continued
a dfssipated life and was transferred
from Briganza to regiment on duty
at Alvasques,. where he was in a
brawl with six soldiers. For this Of
Tense he was courtmartialed and
condemned to serve term in pris-
on, after which he was expelled
from the army.
Buissa then returned to his native
village of Vinhaes. Thanks to the
influence of his father he was giver
an opportunity to become schoo
teacher, and it then seemed to hi
friends that he was going to reform
and settle down.
: He studied hard. and after yea
went to Braganza, where he gradri
ated from the district schools. Bufs
sa was intelligent, and as he de
r voted himself to his studies he wa
a soon given a minor professorshi
q and obtained a diploma. After thi
a he was sent to thu national colleg
! at Lisbon as a professor, a post tina
!. he filled up to short time ago.
= During the last few years Buiss
4 was republican in politics, and b
! had friendly relations with men
). bers of this party. He became
II free thinker. and it was his custol
: to defend his political ideas in ope
discussion in the streets ond in tn
II cafes of Lisbon.
J. Buissa's friend who supplied II
a foregoing information does not thin
IL he accepted money for the commi
