He was employed yesterday lin the restaurant department of Bas- tiani and Cassimus' confectionery. by Inightfall he was a candidate for road duty.

i, POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
Substitute offered for Section Referrinx to Payment of interest,

Substitute Onered for Section Referring
 to Payment of Interest.
 Washington, Jan. '14.-During a brief consideration of the Postal Savings Bank bill in the Senate today, Senator Carter offered a substitute for the sec- tion relating to the payment of in- terest on deposits. ..-.-=.
 The new section provides for the payment once each year of per cent on deposits of not less than $1 nor more than $500 and accumulated in- terest. Senator Fulton urged MT. Carter to permit the bill to go over in order that the omnibus claims bill might be taken up. He ventured the belief that all Senators realized that there could be no vote on the meas- ure the present session.
 All Senators do not realize that" replied MT. Carter.
 "If what the Senator from Oregon suggests Is true,". interJected Mir. Hop kins, "I hope the bill will be pressed in season and out of season. It is a bill in the interest of the people and Is favored by the President, by the President-elect and by the Potsmas- ter-General. and should pass.''
 Mir. Carter said that after Senators had had an opportunity to speak, he would ask that day be fixed for a vote. The bill was laid aside.

LOST---A COLD WAVE
PROBABLY SPRAYED OFF 10 THE
 WEST.
But There are Figure. and Date. Re- calling snow storm of 1SSs and
 Zero Weather of

Now that the good people of Mont- lgomery are well-nigh to sweltering in the unusual warmth of the last few days; now that there is wonder as to where on earth the cold weather has gone. perhaps it will soothe that heat ed head of yours to hear of a cold iday that was cold. And it came right lhere in Montgomery.
 Undoubtedly the coldest day expe- rfenced in Montgomery during the lpast thirty-six years. according to the ligures of the local weather bureau, was that of February 13. 1899. You all remember the day, when snow and lsleet and ice hit the city In an abund- lance. and with a combination that sent Ethe mercury whiriing down to five de- hgrees below zero.
 Five degrees below zero! Can you believe it, in the face of torfid Thurs tday? But if yo uthink hard you. will remember.
 Another cold period of only slightly lolder date was that Of Dec. 5 and 6. t1see, when, In the two days, eleven ftnches of snow fell within the city. tAnd when it is remembered that there tare fafr-sized children. in Montgomery today who have never seen q snow lfiake,, and yet who have lived here all their short lives. the figures are rather tstartling. On, it's not such a warm place after all. @
 The warmest day of winter within local history, is that of Feb. 19. 1891, Iwhen the thermometer registered teighty-three degrees.
 The normal temperature for the lmonth of January, with the average of fthe last thirty-six years, is forty-eight ldegrees. The January of 1909, so far, lhas registered an average temperature fsomewhat greater tha this normal, with hfty-one degrees for the mean ltemperature for the fourteen days hav- ling elapsed.
 Thirty-seven degrees has been the lowest registered So far this month, thus falling to drop to the freezing point.
 But the month is but half gone. and fperhaps the time to talk of excessive warmth during the month is not yet ihsre. The weather man, with his pre- tdiction of rain for this section, some sof which. by the way. has already been lfulhlled. speaks of some mystical ba- rometric condition that seems to predi- jcate some chill to come, some chiil that will lower the average of warmth, and lcause Montgomerians to look once more for the overcoat. and to inspect once more the coal pile, that has such a deplorable propensity toward diminu- ton.
