lief is Far Away.
NORTHERN KING HOURS LATE

The copper country and Lake SUI
perior i'm common with great stretch
OF country is now in the midst OF a
| terrible blizzard that bids fair 10 ex-
coed any storm ever before recorded
in this part OF the country. The
storm has been threatening to break
for two or three days and the worst
part of IL started yesterday afternoon
and by night the blizzard was making
itself felt i'm all quarters. The snow
started to fall in the late afternoon,
and the wind increased I'm velocity
steadily until IL reached and passed
the former high speed records of 1901
and 1903.
Observer Cowdrick who has just
taken charge OF the local weather bu-
reau. has had storm signals on the
staff at the observatory i'm Houghton
since Thursday afternoon and at
least one vessel has been prevented
Gy these from venturing out into the
big lake. The wind is from the north
and had reached as high as as miles

miles an hour higher than the former
high records mentioned. At the time

that the instruments there would reg

Observer Cowdrick says that there
Is little hope that the present storm
will abate until some time late
Sunday. every indication being that IL
will continue showing and blowing
until then. Up 10 two O'Clock this
afternoon about six inches of snow
had fallen and IL is to be expected
that much more will come down be- |

likelihood OF its getting any higher |

DR.. MITCHELL DEPRECATES
SWAY OF PUBLIC OPINION

Rev. Charles Bayard Mitchell, the
pastor of St. James Methodist Epis-
copal church in Chicago. whom many
Houghton and Hancock people will
remember because of his splendid adj
dress on a Mans Man" at the Ker-
redge theater recently as one OF the
attractions of the Star Course of En-
tertainments, in an address before the
Lake View Women's club, one of the
fashionable women's organizations OF
Chicago, has spoken out so plainly
regarding the sway of public opinion
as to have some OF the Chicago pa
pers quote his remarks at some length.
In part, Mr.. Mitchell spoke as fol-
lows:
"a woman will not go to church
he said. unless her hat and dress are
what Mrs. Grundy prescribes. despite
the fact that the preacher would ra-
ther preach to brains than bonnets,
to sense than satin, to grace than
gew-gaws. Some are afraid of God,
but more OF Mrs. Grundy.
why, even in the house of God the
minister forgets what he is supposed
to preach and 'soothes' his congrega-
tion: .'purns the hanG that saved him
to M h's pews; and, to obey her last

Napoleon's Temper.

A story is told of sudden rage into
which Napoleon l. fell one day as he
was at dinner. He had scarcely par
taken of mouthful when apparently
some inopportune thought or recollec-
ton stung his brain to madness, and.
receding from the table without rising
from his chair-his small stature per
mitted that-he uplifted his foot-dash
went the table, crash went the dinner
and the emperor sprang up, intending
to pace the room. Quick as a fash his
waiter scratched few magic symbols
on a bit of paper. and the emperor's
check had grown more than double
Napoleon appreciated the delicacy OF
his attendant and said. Thank you
my dear Dunand," with one of his in
imitable smiles. The hurricane had
blown over.

Train is the Factor.

In the brief of the railroad counsel,
it is contended that the train is the
factor of offenses, because live stock
is moved in trains.
IF there be a confinement in cars
beyond twenty-eight hours during
transit under circumstances which
constitute violation of the statute,
it must be the fault of the train says
the brief. Congress has not said
whether the offenses shall be per head
of stock, per shipment per car load,
or per train load. If Congress had in
tended there should be a fine of $500,
the maximum penalty for one of
Tense, for each head of stock de-
layed, or for each shipment delayed.
or for each car load delayed, it was
easy to say so. Bearing in mind the
rule of strict Interpretation of penal
statutes, the only reasonable construc-
tion of the statute is that the deten-
tion of all stock on the same train
constitutes but one offense.

Face of the typical New Yorker.

London is a friendless city enough,
heaven knows. to those who are not
able to conquer. but she seems to me
mild, benignant even. In comparison
with New York. The face Of the Lon
doner is very often overcast with the
thought Of how to get living In the
keen competition Of the people In that
mighty capital. but the London face is
tranquility embodied in comparison
with the face of the typical New
Yorker. Keen, Ratchet shaped. anx
ious, absorbed-such is the face you
see everywhere around you. And this
keenness of face is accompanied by IA
terrible spirit Of self absorption. You
seldom see people talk much while
they are travelling in the elevated rail
way or in the subway, as they call the
underground train there.-T. P. OCon-

ROOSEVELT PARTY
ON UPPER nile
khartum Preparing to Give Famous
Hunters Royal ception.-Greet-
ed by Cheers From Natives.

Khartum, March 5.-Khartum,
which owes its prominence to the
melancholy fate of General Gordon, is
preparing to give a royal welcome
to the former Present of the United
States. The squalid capital of the
Egyptian Soudan, which squats at
the junction of the White and Blue
Nile, has blossomed forth in many
colors in honor of the impending ar
rival of Theodore Roosevelt, Kermit
Roosevelt, and the other members of
the Smithsonian Scientific Expedi-
ton, who are due here omorrow. The
party is making the trip from Con-
dokoro, the last stop, on the Sidar's
when the trip down the Nile to Cairo
will be resumed.
The progress of the Roosevelt par
ty through this section of Africa has
been of the nature of a triumphal
procession. All along the great river
the voyagers have been greeted by
cheers from the traders and natives.
Their entrance into Gondokoro was
rudely picturesque, and nothing that
British or native hospitality could
suggest was lacking in the well
come.

TOOK THE HAT

Special to The Ne,CS.
Huntsville, Ala, March Captain
Henry b. Roper, clerk of the circuit
court, who died recently, was shot
through the lung in Pickett's charge
at Gettysburg and left on the field
for dead. While lying on the bloody
field, Col. Hugh Scruggs, commanding
the Fourth Alabama, approached, and
seeing his friend apparently dead and
in possession of a new hat, exchanged
battered relic of hat with the sup
posed dead man and took brand-new
wool hat that Captain Roper had
donned few days before the battle.
Capt. Roper was not dead, but was
so badly wounded that he was not
physically able to engage in actual
service again. He was taken prisoner
by the Union army and exchanged at
Richmond in 1864, being paroled some
few months later
Col. Scruggs met him face to face
after the war, and ON being convinced
that the living man was his old friend
in the flesh, bought him the finest hat
that could be found in Huntsville to
replace the one that he had pilfered
at Gettysburg.
This incident was one of the prize
stories told around the camp fires of
Esbert Jones Camp of Confederate
Veterans in this city, and now all of
the characters in the drama have
passed over the river. Another inter.
esting relic was a letter that Colonel
Scruggs wrote the father of Capt Ro-
per informing the old man of his son s
death. Capt. Roper survived the sup
posedy fetal wound, which vas
through the shoulder and lung, and out
through the small of the back, forty

Decimals and Duodecimais.

Herbert Spencer offered a character

He chung to the duodecimal system,
mainly because twelve can be divided
by three and four as ten cannot. But
he suggested that all the advantages
of both systems might be combined by
making twelve the basis of calculation,
inventing two new digits to take the
places of ten and eleven and making
twelve times twelve the hundred.
Spencer scornfully remarked that the
decimal system rests solely on the fact
that man has ten fingers and ten toes.

would have been any difficulty"

a punishment Congress has provided
for railroads guilty of violating the
so-called "Twenty-eight Hour Law"
for furnishing the unlawful confine-
ment of live stock in transportation

ing railroads is the separate shipment,
while the legal representatives of the

Railroad Company insist that the unit
is the train, no matter of how many
