DOING MUCH FOR FORESTRY.

Governor Fletcher is an earnest adj

half of it, alike as Chief Executive and
as President of the State Forestry AS
ISOLATION. The annual report of State
Forester Halves, who has been doing
everything in his power to spread broad
cast the sound doctrine of the new for
estation movement, is most enthusiastic
and suggestive, and his earnest work,
supported by that of the Governor and
interested leading citizens ought to be
effective. Springfield Reporter.

TEXAS HAS SLEIGHING.

Fort Worth, Tex, Dec. "a. For the
first time in 20 years and in some towns
for the first time in their history, south

Big Springs, north to Texline and east
to Dallas.
Many children in the southern coun-

Stores in some places were closed

lee and many wires there are down.
The heaviest fall was in the Panhandle,
where five inches is reported.

attacked twol paymasters of the Silk
Finishing company of America on the
lower West Side today, beat them into
Inconsistencies and robbed them of

FRIDAY. DECEMBER 81, 1912.
AN OLD FASHIONED WINTER.

The winters do not change much.
This one is as "old fashioned" as many
another recorded since the weather bu
reau started, forty years ago. The
mean temperature so far this month has
been well over the average mark of 81,
but it was the same last year, with a
mark of 80, and so on about every other
year as far as family diaries go. In 1891
was forty. 1t is the same. story all over
the East, as the national weather bureau
records show. A statement was made
on the subject few years ago, and it
revealed variations never exceeding a
single degree in two decade periods ex-
tending back as far as 1854.
Tradition represents snowy world at
Christmas, with sleigh bells jingling in
crisp air; but the fact is that there has
not been enough snow to measure in
many a December. This corresponds
this year, and the records show that
coasting and sleighing are not the rule
before January comes in. Strange to
say, the Christmas tradition is an
English importation, and snow in Eng
land is the exception rather than the
rule all through winter The subject
was investigated not long ago by Sir
John Moore, who reported finding that
English climate had not changed
materially in the last 600 years Boston
journal.

DRIFTS IMPEDE TRAFFIC.

Philadelphia, Dec. "a. - Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey and Delaware are
today covered with from six to twelve
inches of snow, with no present indi-
cations of let up in the storm. Steam
and trolley traffic in many parts of
Pennsylvania is impeded by high drifts.
In Philadelphia there was six inches
of snow at 8 a. m. and in the country
districts the snow is being drifted by a
22-mile wind.

New York will Spend $3.50,
100000 on Docks.

New York, Dec. 9.-The board of
estimate voted today to spend all the
money necessary to give New York
city one Of the largest municipal dock
systems in the world. For three miles
or more along the Brook Ign water front
the city will take its pick of the choicest
property. The cost may approximate
$3.50, 100000.
Included in the property which the
city may take over are the mammoth
plants of the Bush Terminal company
and the New York Dock company whose
estimated value is $50, 600, O00 Acqui-
stion of other property, by condemna-
ton or otherwise, is expected to cost
$50, 000 900 or more. Under the terms
of the terminal committee report, which
the board adopted, another $50, 900, 600
could be expended in building docks
and an electric railway along the water
front, City officials will begin at once
to appraise and obtain options on the
strip of land which extends all the way
from the Brooklyn bridge TO a point
near Bay Ridge, just above the Mar
rows.

A CHRISTMAS HYMN.

List upon the frosty air
Joyous music everywhere;
Ringing out good will and peace
In sweet tones that never cease.
Hank and hear the joybells ring!
Glory! glory to our King!
Raise the choral anthems high
Let their music fill the sky
While the wondrous tale is told
Far and near, to young and old,
And, with happy hearts, we sing
Glory glory to our King!
Could we hear the heavenly song,
Which the angel choirs prolong,
They today the strain repeat
Ever glad and full and sweet.
Heaven and earth together sing
Glory! glory to our King!

BLIZZARD AT NEW YORK.

New York. Dec. "a. New York was
struck today with its first blizzard this
winter. A snowfall which began short
ly after midnight continued at 8 o'clock,
when Broadway was covered over four
inches deep and whirlwind made traffic
conditions about as bad as could be.
Suburban trains were late, shipping
was practically tied up and street traf-
fic was almost at standstil during the
early day.

COMPLETE RETURNS.

Practically complete returns from
Idaho gives that state to Wilson by
over a thousand votes. California
which had swung from Roosevelt to
Wilson, then back again, is now safely
conceded to the Bull Mooser, though
Wilson may have a few of the electoral
votes. This makes the vote in the
electoral college as follows:
Woodrow Wilson 433
Theodore Roosevelt 80
William H. Taft 8
The two states that the President
carried are Vermont and Utah, while
Col. Roosevelt got his 80 votes from
Washington, Michigan, South Dakota,
Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Califor-
MIA. Mr.. Taft got fewer votes than
any other candidate for reelection ever
received and fewer votes than any
Democrat or Republican has received in
the last half century. James B.
Weaver, as the Populist candidate, got
% votes in 1892, and George B. Nc
Clellan, the Democratic nominee in
1864, had 81 votes.
The votes that Col. Roosevelt re-
ceived may be compared with those
that Fremont received in 1856 who
had la as the candidate of the newly
formed Republican party. If history
repeats itself then the Progressive
party will be due to win four years
hence. Burlington Clipper

SNOW CRIPPLES RAILROAD
SYSTEM
HELPLESS Commuters are Forced
to Wait for Hours Because of
Eight-Inch Snow Fall.

Atleast 100, 900 commuters probably
so, 600 more-and Christmas shoppers
cooled their heels from three to five
hours at the North and South stations
last night because an S1-2-inch snow
fall-which had been accurately fore
casted by the weather bureau-had
practically put the New Haven and the
Boston and Maine systems out of com
mission.
The tie-up was record breaker At
the height of the rush it was almost
impossible to enter the South station,
and at the North station, it was nee
essary to pick the way with care.
The check on the homeward move
ment was complete. The train sheds
were filled with weary, wet bundle
burdened passengers who waited
for trains, the starting time of which had
long passed.
No information was forthcoming
when they might expect to start for
their destination. The railroad men
didn't know.
At the North Station no train left the
shed for almost an hour and a half
from before o'clock until after 8.
Commuters who customarily leave
their places of business at O'Clock and
arrive home before waited until and
even 8 O'Clock before even boarding a
train.
Every telephone within the station
and those within half mile radius out
side were constantly in use.
''I'm stuck at the South station Tor
the North and | can't get homep-
this was the plant for which telephone
operators in the Oxford and the Hay
market exchanges made connections for
thousands.
At 10 O'Clock last night, both stations
were still uncomfortably filled, although
all those who could had given up waiting
for trains and taken cars.
Some who lived too far to attempt
this method of transportation which
was none too certain-had secured hotel
accommodations.
At the Essex almost every room had
been taken. At other hotels, notably
the Touraine, guests who had given up
their rooms early in the evening and left
to take trains, returned and reclaimed
them after hours of cold and cherries
waiting.
The greatest damage done by the
storm was to the train schedules. The
telephone and telegraph wires suffered
some, but to no greater extent than
during any other storm of comparative
severity.
Street car service was maintained but
with difficulty. Although slow, the
electrics were certain.
Along the coast shipping suffered
severely, the worst disaster reported
involving the United Fruit steamer
Turriabilia, which went ashore off
Sandy Hook.
The steamer is in precarious posi-
ton, but the passengers, so in number,
are safe. Boston Journal.

TWO DYING IN AUTO ACCl
DENT.


Two Others Locked up at Clinton.
Clinton, Dec. 81. Two men are dying
at the Clinton hospital and two others,
though injured, are locked up at police
headquarters here on a charge of
drunkenness, as the outcome of an au-
tomobile accident, which occurred early
this evening in Main street, near
Fuller's mill, a mile from the center of
this town.
All of the men belong in Leominster.
The men at the hospital are:
Ernest E. Edgerly of Leominster.
Fearfully burned about the legs and
hands and probably inhaled flames,
which makes his recovery doubtful.
Gordon Saunders of Leominster.
Both bones of both legs broken and
badly injured internally.
The men held at the Police Station
are Harold E. Kempt, aged %, of 10
Mechanics street and Charles f. Orcutt
of 112 Pleasant street, >. Leominster.
Kempt has badly torn ear and LAGER
]
cult has badly strained right ankle
and cuts and bruises upon the face and
body.
The automobile, which is big tour
ing car and was new this season, is
wrecked beyond repair. 1t is a mass
of twisted iron and splintered wood and
broken glass. Even the heavy chassis
is twisted and broken ruin.
While DR.. Charles French of this town
was attending Saunders at the scene
of the wreck, Edgerly got into DR..
French's automobile and in some way
he put on his fur coat. This was satu-
rated with gasoline from Edgerly
wrecked car and became ignited.
Frantic, Edgerly jumped out of the
car and ran across the street. but DR..
French and bystanders knocked him
down and attempted to eXtinguish the
flames by throwing coats and blankets
over him.
Edgerly freed himself, ran across the
road, dashed through a fence and fell
6 feet into a ditch.
In an instant his clothing was aflame
again. Rubbish about Edgerly also took
fire and was burning briskly when by
ISLANDERS pulled him out and again rolled
him in blankets and coats. He was
then hurried to the hospital with
Saunders.
Policemen placed circuit and Kempt
under arrest and held them at police
headquarters, where DR.. Patrick S.
Grady attended them. The men at the
hospital have been unconscious since the
accident and the two held at the police
station decline to talk
1t has been learned that the four mer
left Leominster at p. m. in the car,
which belongs tolEdgerly, according tC
the Massachusetts register. 1t is num-
bered 2l526 and the register gives
Ernest E. Edgerly of 80 Franklin street,
Leominster, as owner.
So far as the police are able to ascer-
tain tonight the men made very rapic
time coming here, but just what caused
the accident is a mystery. When they
reached point in Main street opposite
Fuler's mill the car suddenly swervec
and dashing across the road at terrific
speed it hit a telephone pole with ter
rife force.
The bole was broken off six feet
above the ground and fell across the
street, creating tangle of telephone
wires which blocked traffic for a long
time.
The four men were hurled into the
mass of wreakage and the car was de-
molished.

A MUCH ADMIRED HORSE.

In the report of the Valley fair in 1895
The Phoenix pr nted the following no.
tice "Prominent horsemen in the days

len recalled the beauty of their offspring
most wildly as the Arab sheik' APP
peared at the head of the parade,
mounted upon direct descendant of
this word-famous family. Never, they
say, since the days of the Warden
mare, which was sold to the Duke of
Marlborough and taken to England, has
so beautiful an animal been seen.
This reference was to the handsome
white horse owned by Charles H. Pratt,
which was ridden at the head of the
coaching parade at that time by the late
George w. Baker in the costume of an
Arab sheik. This horse, William, was
found dead Sunday morning in Henry
b. Aliens stable, where he had been
cared for in recent years. William was
81 years old and as an old horse was pure
white, although his coloring in his prime
was dapple gray. He was bred in Mid
dlebury and was bought at the Vermont
Horse Breeders meeting in Rutland at
the age of two years by the late William
Chaplin, and upon Mr.. Chaplin death be-
came the property of Mr.. Pratt. Will
liam was got by Motion, son of the
great Vermont sire, Daniel Lambert,
and his dam was by Smiths Column
