Francisco ~Schiavone, uncle of Angelina,
three years ago told the girl to get all
the money she could from her fathers
bank. to bring 1t to him and he would
save II for her. n when h had a
snug amount she could marry his son,
Michael.
The girl was employed In her fathers
bank, and it Is alleged that her thefts
aggregated 100000 before she was de-
tected. When money from the bank
was found in her possession she told
her object in taking it and declared
that. being crippled. she feared she
would be unable to marry, and so had
tried to win a husband with her faith
er's money.
Michael Schiavone Is lame and is five
years the senior Of his cousin Angelina.
The eight defendants to the conspiracy
charge are all relatives Of Pasquale
Schiavone, the banker.

Chicago, Dec. 9.-Mrs. r. K. Bowes
Is preparing a little volume Of THE
Servant Problem" She says the prob
lem is one of self rather than of servant
and that the solution is easy.
Here, summarized, are her rules for
making a model servant out of almost
any material:
Be patient.
Be sympathetic.
Treat her as a human being.
Show her you appreciate her efforts.
Help her in work she doesn't under
stand.
Help her when the work becomes un-
usually heavy.
Let her enjoy holidays that the fam
lily enjoys.
Mrs. c.. w. Rankin, who inserted the
following advertisement, also has ideas

bered by the family Christmas.

COOKS CLOSEST FRIEND
BRANDS HIM A HUMBUG

New York, Dec. 29.--Charles Wake,
Of this city. arctic explorer, member
of the explorers club. and heretofore
one of the staunchest supporters of DR..
Frederick A. Cook, deserted the Cook
standard last night. Although loyal for
several days after the adverse decision
of the University Of Copenhagen on
DR.. Cooks records, Wake now says
that he was deceived by the explorer.
He adds that he does not know where
DR.. Cook Is, except that he is in Eu-
rope, although he is aware of Mrs.
Ccok's whereabouts, which he declines
to reveal.
Cook has had ample time to express
himself since the records were exam :
ined," said Mr. Wake, but he has not
lone so.
$50 long as / live / shall never forget
the degree of nonchalance with which
he extended his hand towards the beau
tifully engraved degree and the hand
some gold medal that had been con-
ferred on him by the Copenhagen uni
versity and replied. There is the best
evidence l do not know who Is car
ing for his children in a New York
boarding school, but j presume rela-
tires are doing It. How much money
he made on his trip I do not know"

BoSTON'S DAMAGE WILL
MOUNT UP TO MILLIONS

Boston, Dec. 29.-Five million dollars
loss is the estimate made of the havoc
wrought in n around Boston by the
blizzard which yesterday swept New
England n drove a record tide over
the coast.
No fatalities have been reported be-
sides -four known to nave occurred yes
terday where a tidal wave bursting
through the dyke along Island End
river, flooded homes n forced $500
persons to flee.
T~hirty-two cities and towns which
last night were plunged in darkness
owing to the cutting off of h electric
light service, hope to have their light
ing facilities restored by tonight.
Thu storm vas easily the greatest
that New England has experienced in
IL years. All along the coast phenom-
email tides were reported. In many
places sea walls were battered to
pieces, ~boulevards RACED and curbs and
houses along the shore destroyed.
In Boston the tide swept over the
wharves, cross Atlantic avenue, and as
far inland as the chamber Of commerce.
1t Is estimated that the damage In this
section will reach 100000 {.
The worst damage wrought by the
storm was in Chelsea and Everett,
where, 1t Is believed, it will be several
weeks before the tide gate on the
Island End river can be repaired and
the flooded district reclaimed.
Having escaped through the snow.
scantily clad, and manv Of them bare
footed, the residents of the submerged
section Of Chelsea had to stand for
hours in the blizzard waiting for
wagons to take them to shelter. Hun
dreds Of the homeless were taken care
Of In relief stations established in pub
lie schools and churches.
No further damage resulted from the
tide late last night. The water did not
rise as high as in the forenoon.

EIGHTEEN PERSONS DIE
IN NEW YORK BLlZZAR

New York. Dec. 2~9.-Eighteen persons
in and near New York perished In the
Christmas storm or from accidents
caused by 1t. Six died from exposure
after being caught in snowdrifts. 9th
ers were drowned and several were
killed by trains.
Today New York was rapidly digging
Itself out from under cover of the To-
inch snowfall. BY noon traffic condi-
lions app, ,ached normal as the re-
suit Of the labor Of nearly 10000 men
In the employ Of the city and the trac-
ton lines, while steam railroad condi-
lions also were rapidly improving. Wire
communication, which was badly inter-
rupted during the worst Of the blow
was again fairly good today except to
New England points.
Blockades On railroads created a
shortage of food supplies and a conse-
quent increase in prices, which con-
tributed to the hardships of the poor.
Shipping felt the storms effect seri-
ously. While no heavy loss Is reported
from any one wreck, many small craft
suffered damage, dragging their anch-
ors and being driven ashore. The
wrecking of the freight steamer Thur
man off Toms river, New Jersey, and
the sinking of the schooner Mary Ann
Kirby. In Long Island sound. were the
worst wrecks, but neither was attended
with loss Of life.
While incoming transatlantic liners
report hard weather none seemed to
have been badly delayed.

BLIZZARD IN EAST
THE MOST SEVERE
OF TWENTY YEARS
Philadelphia Suffers, Too, and
Blockade Of Railway Traffic
Is Widespread.

The Christmas blizzard, the Sc
verest storm experienced il the
east in 23 years, tied up local traf-
fc this morning in cities from
Pennsylvania to Maine, and dis
arranged train schedules through
out half a dozen states.
Conditions, however, are rapidly
improving and railroads and mu-
inequalities are today bending
every effort to move inter-cit and
local traffic. There is reason to
believe that conditions will be
normal by Tuesday night, when
another storm is expected from
the west.
A number Of persons have met
death through exposure or acct
dent, five in Philadelphia and 10
in New York.
Fifteen deaths are reported in
New England, IL of them through
the wrecking Of the fve-masted
schooner Davis Palmer, of Boston
harbor.
In Philadelphia general business
this morning was practically at a
standstill. All through trains were
late, only one street car line was
running, and the city is suffering
from a shortage Of milk.
Washington did not suffer Sc
verely, but Communication with
Boston is maintained only with
difficulty. The storm in New Eng
land seems to have been worse in
the vicinity Of New Bedford, Prov
idence, Fall River, Newport, Paw
tucket and Woonsocket.

HOW TO COOK WITH GAS.

Miss Anna Virginia Miller, OF Kan

series of six lectures on cooking with
gas to the ladies of Roswell and will
leave tomorrow morning on her way
north Every afternoon she has had
an average of nearly fifty interested
spectators at the old Gem" opera
house. where she gave and actual de-
monstration in the art that is prob
ably the most necessary TO and most
enjoyed by all mankind.
And Miss Miller understands the
art of cooking. She understands how
10 teacher others TO cook also. She
performs the work with an ease that
shows the natural cook, and explains
as she goes in a manner that anti
cipates every question. The result.
upon examination and taste, salts
fies ohe servest critic. Her lectures
and demonstrations did the ladies'
mnch good, and the Roswell Gas Co.
who has had Miss Miller come and
give the lessons, will no doubt be be-
nefitted in the installation of many
new gas slaves in Roswell. For she
showed the superiority OF gas as a
