One Of the most extraordinary
Christmas days London ever had was
that of 1891. The shops had been, as
usual, specially prepared and decorat-
ed with tho object Of attracting the
buyers when suddenly, on Dec. %, n
thick fog came on. Not until the
evening of Dec. &c did it lift. This
particular fog held the record for be-
ing the heaviest London had known.
Thirty lives were lost and over 200
accidents recorded.
Christmas, 1850. was the coolest
England and Scotland had ever expe-
rienced- Just three years later Christ

William N1akepcace Thackeray, the

The late Queen victoria's most mem
orabie Christmases were the most
pathetic. 1t was in less than fort
night from Dec. %. 1861, that her hus-

SO affected was her ma jesty that she
allowed fifteen years to pass before
she celebrated Christmas day in the

Woman sole survivor of Fray.
Abbeville, Ga, Jan. 1.-THE au-
thofities here are at loss what to
do today with Mrs. Norah White, who
Is the only unihjured survivor of a
fierce pistol fight which resulted late
yesterday in the death of Noah
White, her husband; James Nixon
and Matthew Wilson. The other sur
vivor, N. p. Wilson, is believed to be
mortally wounded.
Mrs. White says, she acted In de-
fense Of her husband. The principals
formerly were partners in the lum-
Der business. They met at the White
house yesterday in an effort to ad-
just differences resulting from the
dissolution of partnership and the
fight followed. 1t is said that White
killed Nixon; that Matthew Wilson
killed White and that Mrs. White
killed Matthew Wilson. N. =. Wilson
was wounded during the exchange of
shots
In order that she may arrange for
the funeral of her husband, to whom
she was married only a few months
ago, Mrs. White was allowed to re-
main at home today. All three fu-
nerals probably will be held tomor-
row and 1t is feared that further trou-
BILE may result from the feud.

TO LINES
CARRYING MAIL
With Object of Encourag-
ing Commerce With South
America is Plan of Ocean
Mail Service Bill.
BY United Press wire.

washington, Jan. 11.--"Not an
American steamship Is now running
on any of the long routes to South
America. This is the evil we want
to remedy" declared Senator Gallin-
ger, Republican, New Hampshire, in
speech to the senate ON his ocean
mali service bill today.
"The American people are depend
ent for transportation facilities on
these routes on the ships grudgingly
provided by their European compet-
itors," he added "It need not be said
that these facilities are far inferior
to those furnished by Europe for their
own use"
The ocean mail law of 1891, which
gives extra payment for carrying
mail to ships plying to the West In
dies and Mexico, had resulted. he said,
in fifty per cent. OF the imports of
those lands being brought to the Unit
cd States. Practically the same re-
suit, he predicted, would be attained
in South American countries If the
same encouragement was given lines
Of steamships making regular trips.
Those countries now buy from nine
to fourteen per cent. of their imports
in the United states.
The bill offers steamship companies
a bonus of 81 a mile, and the total
payment is limited to $4,000,000 n
year.
Gallinger predicted that eventually
there would be established three lin
es from the Atlantic coast to Brazil
Uruguay and Argentina, one line from
the golf coast to the east coast of
south America, one from the gulf
through the Panama canal to the
west coast of South America and one
or two lines on the Pacific coast to
Panama and South America.
These lines would require from
thirty-hve to forty steamships, he said
that would be of invaluable assist
ance to the navy in time of war and
in peace would open up American pro
duet markets that demand hundreds
of millions of dollars worth of goods
every year.
THE Dill Is in no ways n subsidy
bnl,' said Gallinger. "but simply
provides for increased mail pay for
steamship lines to the leading coun-
tries of South America where the
possibility of trade conditions are
such as to warrant reasonable ex-
penditure. 1t will be very import
ant step toward the rehabilitation of
the American merchant marine"

GAMBLERS PUT BOMB
IN HOME OF JUDGE
BY United rress Wire.

Chicago, Jan. 11.-What Is said by
the police to have been desperate
attempt to blow up the home of Coun-
ty Judge John Il. Owens. at 1886 War
rem avenue. was frustuited today by
a heavy rainfall which put out the
fuse of heavily charged bomb that
had been laid before owens home
The bomb was discovered by Judge
owens sister, who lives with him.
The bomb was wrapped i'm news
paper. 1t was a piece of lead pipe,
eight inches long A half burned fuse
extinguished by the rain, showed that
the bomb had actually been fired. :.
The bomb was delivered to Captain
Cudmore of the police department
who declared the pipe was loaded
with alternate layers of giant powder
and cotton, so hshtiy packed as to
have caused a violent explosion had
the fire reached the powder.
Judge owens is a Democrat who,
since he has been on the bench has
been open in his charges that he
would break up gambling in Chicago
and 1t is charged by the police that
the bomb Is another plot in the ia
nous Chicago gambling war.
