STEAMER WEATHERS
 FEARFUL TEMPEST
OLD DOMINION LINER ARRIVES SAFELY AFTER BEING 24 HOURS OVERDUE FROM NORFOLK. OTHER SHIPS OVERDUE.

New York, January 25.-Buffeted about by a gale which at times blew 90 miles an hour. the Old Dominion steamship Princess Anne, over 24 hours overdue From Norfolk, came into port tonight unharmed from her encounter with one of the fiercest mid winter storms that has swept the Atlantic in several years
 The 30 passengers on the Princess Anne were kept below decks all through the tempestous voyage from Norfolk. Yesterday morning she ran into sharp squall and snow storm. The waves rolled mountain high and one struck the ship and shook a boy out of his bunk and knocked mes- senger down in the saloon. Both were slightly hurt It was impossible to see ships length ahead because of the blinding snow, and Captain Capley stood out to sea to avoid any possibli- ty of going ashore. The engines were reduced to half speed and the vessel was barely able to make headway in the seas. With clearing weather the Princess Anne put about and headed for port.
 Two transatlantic liners, the Louis- anne, from Havre, and the Laure, from Treiste, due here yesterday, were still unreported at Sandy Hook tonight. The Prinz Wilhelm V, from Haiti, due here yesterday, is also belated. No fears, however, are felt for the safety of the steamships.
 The Hamburg American liner Amer ilsa, the Cunard liner Campania, and the White Star steamship Arabic arrived today with stories of heavy seas from port to port.
 The liner Campania was battered on Friday by giant waves which flung themselves over the sides and rattled along the decks. One wave rolled over the boats deck, carrying away two ventilator hoods, and poured flood of water into the steerage quarters. An other wave came aboard forward and bent some hoisting machinery. No pas- sengers Werei niured.z

should make compensation to his faith less employe. We have read with as- tonishment and ,dismay the criticisms from the same high source of the conduct of the courts. Was this because those courts had proved recreant to their high duties? Had they failed to perform the vital functions they were created to perform? Not in one instance. They have hewed to the line with that integ- rity and learning which have charac- terized the American courts from the birth of the republic. Why is the clamor so persistent for the enactment of new laws and the bestowal of more power? Have the old laws proved ineffective? One single illustration is enough. In the

month of July, 1890, the so-called Sher- man antitrust law was enacted. It stands on the books today and the most substantial checks administered to the trusts have been applied under its pro- visions. The Northern Securities case the Joint Traffic Association cases, the action against the beef trust, all under the Sherman law of 1890. What occasions the demand for more laws and greater power? Is it to obscure the fact that ample power now exists, and has for years existed, to bring about the refor- nations sought? Those provisions of the Sherman law which to my mind are far the most important are seldom referred to and never employed.

GOODNESS AMONG ICE MEN.
Heat Is Finally Developed In Big
 Explosion.

Sioux City, Ia., January 25.-A desperate feud among the ice men of Sioux City came to a climax when big charge of dynamite, laid, 1t is said, by rival dealers, blew up the Missouri river ice field of H. M. Nickum and Charles Lungren late last night and destroyed $3OOO of the pro- duct. The detonation rattled all the win dows in Sioux City and suburbs, causing general alarm lest gas tank or a big boiler had exploded. The dynamite tore a hole out of the river ice as big as four city blocks. The deed is believed to be the result of plot in which several ice dealers are concerned.

The Senseless CIamor for New Laws. Ex-Governor Black of New York in Les

 We have read that the President of the United States is in favor of law mak- ing employers liable for injuries to their employees, no matter how the injury re- sults That proposal arouses greater wonder than respect. It could serve only to open a new field to the indolent and vicious.

me Ianoy WORK or the present day is
largely concerned with wearing apparel,
and shirt waists, collars and underwear
are all embellished by the hand of the
skillful woman. Opportunities for oh
tanning the dainty lingerie which is so
dear 10 the hearts of all women are. in
deed. presented to many only in this
way. For. reasonable as are the prices
charged for these articles in the stores,
they are much beyond the emans of tue
average woman.
This year the possession of such ex-
quisite underwear is favored by the sim
plieity of the designs most in favor.
Simple figures in the satin and running
vine effees are indeed more popular than
more elaborate effects. And in addition
to this advantage the business woman
is now encouraged by the fact that
stamped pieces of lingerie can be bought
at most of the stores.
For instance, corset covers, chemises,
drawers, and petticoats of fine nainsook
all come at most reasonable prices and
reveal n remarkable range of design.
Often in addition to the floral design
the initials are worked on the left breast
of the corset cover and chemise. A but
tonhole seallop is the usual finish for
these two articles at the edges and at
the armholes. English eylet embroidery
through which to thread the ribbons,
should also be added.

How Polly Saved the Plate

An old lady had a parrot which she
had bought from sailor friend, and on
taking it home, much to her astonish-
ment, she found that Polly could only
say three words, "Get the gun.
One dark night, when all was still,
burglars broke into the house. The sill
yer was kept in the same room with
Polly. They crept in as quietly as pos
sible, but before they had time to strike
light deep voice from the other side
of Their Dom said, SECT the gum" The
men were so frightened that they ran
off as fast as their legs could carry
them. And so Polly saved her mis-
tress silver.
